Hedge funds and Reits if you speak with a securities lawyer are 2 different animals with different rules. Now my not being a sec lawyer I cannot tell you exactly why Reits have ruled the trading floor as an entity for warehousing real estate investments that are publically traded. But let me venture to tell. Real Estate when publically traded has so many places where fraud and loss of expenses can occur. Management in real estate makes or breaks it and often the entity with the most controls in place have better time keeping management accountable for there activities.

I think Reits have already been set up to handle such rules and regulations that would need to be in place to publically trade on Wall street. Hedge funds may have too many gaps to leave the insiders too much control over the assets that investors may not want to invest in the products offered in a hedge fund. I again cant give exact examples your question should be posed to a securities lawyer on the matter! This is a great subject matter that deserves some attention especially if your a rising star and plan to do a start up. If you do decide to do a start up and want a tag aloung that has about 20 years experience in real estate investing let me know. I have always thought about starting up a publically traded company with a group of sharp individuals that want to rise fast and control some good quality cash flowing properties to set up for retirement and or just a great way to invest in this incredible down market for real estate.

I am a value investor and would only do business with someone that wanted the core of his real estate holdings to be apts with a small part of the business focused on risky deals. This way the larger business can be stable profitable and support profitable ventures like developing raw beach front or rehabbing mid size sky scrapers and such. Today there is so much in the aspect of deals if you can raise capital that is the real problem today is getting your hands on capital.

If you first line up 10 to 50 million in capital next you would have no problem in doing a start up in my opinion.

If you have had any success in answer to your question, I would appreciate any feedback. I am also interested in the same topic but, like yourself, are not finding much luck on the topic. Thank you.

My name is Roger Hale, I am a real estate agent in the state of Florida. I have about 120 acres of raw, indstrial/commercial land that is buildable along I-95 in Titusville Florida.

How do I find a hedge fund that would be interestd in my property? The land is 100% paid for and would appraise for somewhere between 40 and 50 million.

I’m having a tough time finding examples of business plans and prospectus for currently operating RE Hedge Funds such as those who buy and manage properties for current income, those who purchase raw land for development or those who purchase property for appreciation.

Would you have any examples of these business plans/prospectus? Or know where I may be able to find examples? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Jason
