JF 4177: The Compliance Minefield in Capital Raising That Will Blow Up Your Deal (and How to Avoid It) with Seth Bradly

from The Best Ever CRE Show · host Joe Fairless

Seth Bradley explains why many common capital-raising practices in real estate are quietly illegal and increasingly risky as regulators, investors, and institutions pay closer attention. He breaks down why intent and deal quality do not matter if securities laws are violated, and why compensation tied to capital raised is the fastest way to cross the line. Seth walks through the three legally distinct roles in capital raising active participant, passive participant, and third party and shows how co-GP and finder models are frequently abused. He concludes by explaining why compliant fund-to-fund structures are rapidly becoming the preferred path for scalable, defensible capital aggregation.
