Signs are pointing to big opportunities, so position yourself to take action when investing in real estate. However, avoid mistakes that put you in the ‘big house’ wearing an orange jumpsuit. For example, do you know how to put together an operating agreement to buy an apartment complex? Today, Clint Coons of Anderson Business Advisors talks to Dugan Kelley, a securities attorney and co-founder of Kelley Clarke, PC. As chairman of the firm’s securities and real estate practice group, Dugan assists clients in all phases of multifamily, commercial, and residential acquisitions and sales. Also, Dugan serves as a mediator for other attorneys or settlement counsel for complex litigation matters that require unique solutions.
Highlights/Topics:
- Should you partner with friends/family on real estate investments? Manage expectations. Anytime you take money from someone, they expect a return on that investment.
- What’s the difference between raising capital as a security versus a capital contribution? There’s no friends or family exemption to securities. Contributing equal shares is a joint venture and involves an active role in buying/managing the entity/asset.
- What are the penalties for legal mistakes? Avoid being cheap by taking short-cuts on the legal side. There’s potential for severe/massive fines, penalties, and criminal charges.
- What is the purpose of a Private Placement Memorandum? Protect yourself as a sponsor or syndicator and your investors by identifying potential real estate risks.
- When and who should create a Letter of Intent (LOI)? After a property is under contract and through your entity, not your individual name.
- When should new operators/investors call a securities attorney? After conducting due diligence to determine the possibility to raise capital on property.
- What information needs to be provided to the securities attorney to set up a syndication or transfer entity to start raising capital? LOI and Private Placement Memorandum.
- Is public registration necessary for private placement offerings? Two exemptions: 506b (pre-existing, substantive relationships) or 506c (restricted to accredited investors).
- Should an individual manager create a separate entity to be responsible for the debts and obligations of the syndicated entity? Anybody can be sued for anything. Securities is not something that you want to mess with—cover your assets.
- How to vet deals and investors by identifying red flags? Know what you are buying, your rights and obligations, and who gets paid what and when.

Where can you find good deals? It’s getting harder to do because investors compete for the same properties. If a property is on MLS for more than five days, it's not a deal. Today, Clint Coons of Anderson Business Advisors talks to Keith Aichele of FSBOVault.net. Keith is a real estate investor who has sold more than 1,200 deals and found a way to make a profit from MLS properties. Keith’s upstream investing system finds deals, beats the competition, and takes investing to the next level.
Highlights/Topics:
- What opportunities are real estate investors missing, and why? People aren’t looking at available opportunities and need help/guidance
- What are Keith’s investing strategies? Real estate investors are marketers who need to market their business and structure financing
- How does Keith find deals and buy MLS properties? Access to lists of foreclosed and auction properties—MLS is full of these types of properties
- What happens when you're not even competing with the people downstream? They're not on the ‘no default’ list
- How does Keith differentiate himself from other people who inundate the market? Focus on marketing, be where the competition's not, and create relationships with sellers
- When and why do sellers get distressed? Most markets have more than 9,000 properties on the market for more than 90 days; Keith makes offers before distress sets in
- What is Subject To Investing? Is it equity stealing? Buying and creating pretty homes and decorating them is not that easy to do, and ‘Subject To’ goes over people's heads
- What is a Contract for Deeds? When you work with a seller, they may not need to sell and get all their cash out of the property
- What are ‘Subject To’ risks? Property drains cash flow out of your bank account; don't go into foreclosure and destroy your credit
- What is FSBOVault’s predictive behavior process? Search for stale listings, seller’s mindset shift, and reduced listing price
- How can you prevent the realtor from ruining a deal? Get the realtor on your side; it's in their best interest to not lose the listing
- What’s FSBOVault.net’s Guaranteed Offer Platform? Investors leverage the platform to make multiple and full-price offers on properties guaranteed within 1-7 days
- What multiple options does Keith tend to give sellers? Full-price offer with caveats or serve as a backup buyer
- Why look at foreclosure lists? All properties going to foreclosure, auction, or share of the sale are missed opportunities by investors
- When investors buy properties ‘Subject To,’ are they taking over the seller’s mortgage? No, they’re paying the mortgage to keep it current
- What does FSBOVault.net teach investors to help people earlier upstream to avoid foreclosures and auctions? Don't focus on properties; focus on sellers and people
