What is the state of syndications today? How to structure a syndication for protection purposes? Major differences between funds vs syndications and why are funds popular today? Jonathan Tavares, Managing Partner at Premier Law Group, shares his insights. Read the entire interview here: https://tinyurl.com/25hhhjsfWhat is the state of the market today? What are the IRRs looking like? Are you seeing more or fewer deals come across your desk?There has been a shift to funds in the last 6-8 mos. Traditionally, especially during COVID, a lot of clients were doing a lot of multifamily syndication. Now, granted, that's been a piece that we focused on for a long time. A lot of our clients are heavily involved in the multifamily space, but with increasing interest rates over 22 and various other factors, property taxes throughout many counties and throughout the country, going up very quickly, as well as insurance and specific markets. We have a lot of clients in various markets in Texas that have just gone crazy, places like Houston or Florida, where insurance rates have skyrocketed. It's presented some challenges for some of our clients. Instead of seeing just a straight deal with a certain percentage of debt somewhere around 70- 80%, a lot of times, there's a lot of creative financing going on to make up for that debt piece that may not be there or where those percentages of debt to purchase price may be a little bit lower than what a lot of clients were used to before.You see a lot of preferred equity. We've seen clients building out structures where, in essence, they're providing almost a debt structure to their investors too, to create a sort of debt piece as well as an equity piece in their raises. We've seen a lot of clients create funds and use their funds to come in for part of the debt piece for specific projects as well.Depending on the asset type, and I'll specifically exclude development projects, we're seeing a lot of target IRRs between 15 and 20% generally.Where do all the LLCs go for a syndication so that everyone is protected as much as they can possibly be?There's all sorts of different structures that you might use to set up a syndication or a fund and for different reasons, for tax reasons, for asset protection reasons, etc. A typical syndication structure is going to include a syndication entity, and that's typically known as the issuer entity, that's the entity that's selling securities.Why does the SEC care about what I'm doing if I'm raising capital to go buy real estate? The Supreme Court came up with a test that's called the Howie test. The SEC does an analysis to determine if you were selling securities or not, and essentially boils down to the four main tenets of the Howie test:1) Is an investor investing money? Typically, the answer is yes.2) Are they expecting some sort of return on profits? And usually the answer is yes.3) Whether the efforts are generated by someone other than the person who's investing, like some sort of promoter, or in the space we call a sponsor. In these deals, a sponsor where a GP that is raising the capital from investors. The investors are passive in the deal. 4) A common enterprise is if the investors are pooling together capital through the efforts of the GP to buy some sort of underlying investments. That's typically going to be real estate.Jonathan Tavares(508) 212-1193jonathan@plglp.comwww.premierlawgroup.netJoin our investor list at https://montecarlorei.com/investors/

Opportunity Zone incentives may soon reach new areas, thanks to a proposed extension through 2033. A key House committee has included major Opportunity Zone reforms in a sweeping tax package, aiming to give investors more time and more places to deploy capital gains for powerful tax advantages. The proposal would allow states to nominate a new round of zones—especially in rural communities—with even stronger incentives, while also tightening eligibility and expanding what kinds of income qualify for OZ investment.

Imagine that you're an entrepreneur who's already had an exit. You're working on a Master's degree at MIT's Entrepreneur Program, and then you get a call from a talent scout at Shark Tank.Not only that, but that phone call landed you a million-dollar investment from the Sharks for your restaurant business (still one of the top five deals ever to this day) and a seven-figure exit a few years later.That's just scratching the surface of why I'm excited to introduce you to my friend Yuen Yung. Yuen is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and the Co-Founder of HalBar Partners, a niche private equity firm specializing in a relatively unknown but powerful asset class: Search Funds.In our conversation, you'll hear the experience Yuen has gained from having several successful exists, why he believes that alternative investments and real estate offer better ROI and security than the public markets, and why his newest venture into search funds—an asset class averaging a 35% IRR—could be a game-changer for investors seeking higher multiples with the steady returns of private equity.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) Why traditional stock market investing with 60/40 portfolios feels outdated—and why the ultra-wealthy are investing their money in alternative investments.2.) What Search Funds are and why this niche asset class differs from the more common private equity and venture capital investment opportunities—and why most people have never heard of them.3.) How Yuen earned a $1 million dollar investment on Shark Tank, despite initially turning down the opportunity and how he turned it into a 7-figure exit.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/238Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@mymenrichard "Private Money Lending with Jay Conner"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTl7M1X3qb4 When it comes to scaling a real estate investing business, one of the biggest challenges investors face is sourcing reliable funding. Traditional routes—think bank loans and institutional finance—often come with red tape, long waits, and restrictive requirements. In a recent Raising Private Money podcast with Richard Lesperance and  Jay Conner, they cracked open the secrets of raising private money—a game-changing alternative for investors looking to close more deals, faster and with greater flexibility.What is Private Money?Put simply, private money refers to funding provided by individual investors rather than banks or hard money lenders. Jay highlights a key distinction: while hard money lenders act as intermediaries between investors and funds, private lenders are direct, one-on-one relationships. These individuals use their liquid capital or retirement accounts (often through self-directed IRAs) to passively invest in real estate, earning a healthy return while the borrower benefits from quick, customizable funding.Jay's Journey from Banks to Private MoneyJay shares his own story: after years of relying on banks, his line of credit was suddenly cut off during the 2008 financial crisis, leaving him scrambling. This “problem” forced him to look for solutions outside the conventional system. A friend introduced him to the concept of private money, and within 90 days, Jay raised over $2 million in new funding—without ever asking for money directly.The secret? Jay adopted the role of a teacher. Instead of pitching or selling, he educated potential lenders about how private money works and the advantages it offered. This educational approach attracted 47 private lenders (and counting), many of whom had never heard of private lending or realized their retirement accounts could be used in this way. Where to Find Private LendersJay breaks it down into three main categories:Your Warm Market: Friends, family, colleagues, and contacts in your phone and social networks.Expanded Network: Connections made through networking, real estate events, and referrals.Existing Private Lenders: Individuals already lending to other investors, often found at self-directed IRA company networking events.According to Jay, over 70% of self-directed IRA holders are interested in loaning money to real estate investors, making these events rich ground for connection.Advantages of Using Private MoneyThe benefits, as Jay enthusiastically outlines, are many:Control: The borrower sets the terms—interest rate, payment frequency, and loan-to-value ratio.Speed: With no bank bureaucracy, deals can close in as little as seven days—a major advantage in a competitive market.No Application Hassles: No credit score checks or drawn-out approval processes.Unlimited Potential: Unlike banks, there's no cap on how much private money you can access or how many deals you fund.Attractive Returns for Lenders: Lenders earn solid, secured returns (often much better than a local bank), creating a true win-win.Is it Safe?Investor and lender protection is paramount. Jay describes several safeguards:Funds are wired directly to the attorney or title company's escrow account, never to the investor personally.Each loan is secured by a mortgage or deed of trust, never unsecured.A conservative loan-to-value (typically 75% of after-repair value) ensures a cushion for market fluctuations.Lenders are listed on insu

“Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, for riches do not last forever…” - Proverbs 27:23-24These days, our “flocks and herds” often look like stocks and mutual funds, not sheep and cattle. But the call to wise stewardship remains. One way we do that is through proxy voting. Jerry Bowyer joins us to explain how and why it matters.  Jerry Bowyer is the President of Bowyer Research and our Resident Economist here at Faith & Finance. He is the author of The Maker Versus the Takers: What Jesus Really Said About Social Justice and Economics.What Is Proxy Voting?Proxy voting is similar to civic voting. As a citizen, you vote in elections, attend town halls, and even influence legislation. As a shareholder in a company, if you own the stock directly, you have similar rights: to vote on proposals, ask questions, and even submit resolutions.But if you're invested through mutual funds or ETFs, you hand that vote over to someone else—often a fund manager or institution. And unless you know how they're voting, your values may not be represented at all.Many Christian ministries, nonprofits, and even pro-life organizations are unknowingly voting against their own missions. Why? Because they either don't engage in proxy voting or delegate it without vetting the recipient's values.How Can Investors Reclaim Their Voice?Proxy statements are often long, complex, and written in confusing legal language. For that reason, many advisors default to saying, “Just let the client decide,” rather than helping them engage meaningfully.Of course, that's not a good sign because if it's too complex for the advisor, it's definitely too complex for the client. Instead, we encourage advisors and Christian investors to partner with specialists, like Bowyer Research, who can help decode the process and ensure votes reflect biblical values.They offer audits to show investors how they've been voting—often to their shock. They've never done one where people weren't stunned by what they saw.Mutual Funds, ETFs, and the Challenge of Indirect OwnershipIf you're invested through mutual funds or ETFs, you're likely not voting directly. However, that doesn't mean you're powerless. Here are some things to keep in mind:You can request data on how your funds are voting. Bowyer Research tracks that. You can explore “direct indexing” solutions—an increasingly available strategy that allows you to own shares directly and reclaim your voting rights. You can ask your advisor questions. “How am I voting?” is a simple but powerful question. If your advisor can't answer it, that's a red flag.What You Can Do TodayAsk your advisor how your shares are being voted. If they don't know, press in.Get an audit of your proxy voting records through BowyerResearch.com.Talk to companies, not just about them. Change happens through engagement, not complaint.If you're an investor, advisor, or leader at a Christian ministry or nonprofit, don't let your investments work against your mission. Visit BowyerResearch.com to learn how to align your proxy voting with your values.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 27 and own 20 acres of land.

This 4-in-1 compilation episode focuses on a persistent disconnect between capital and capability: women are founding businesses at record rates and leading high-performing funds, yet the capital rarely follows.In other words, women are underrepresented both in receiving and managing capital.Today's episode is about those pushing back against that trend – women-led investment managers and those intentionally channeling capital into women-led businesses.Here are the featured guests:Sharon Vosmek, CEO of Astia & Managing Partner of the Astia FundSharon Vosmek doesn't see gender equity in venture as a social goal – she sees it as a market inefficiency. With just 2–3% of VC funding going to women CEOs, she argues the system consistently overlooks high-potential founders. At Astia, she's investing in women-led startups with strong early traction, particularly in underserved sectors like women's health. She also challenges the informal, male-dominated networks – boardrooms, golf courses – where most deals are still made.Full episode Dr. Tara Bishop, Founder and Managing Director of Black Opal VenturesTara co-founded Black Opal Ventures to invest where healthcare and technology collide – and where traditional VC often misses.She and her partner, Eileen Tanghal, raised $63 million from institutional investors like Eli Lilly and JP Morgan, becoming one of the rare female- and minority-led funds in venture. Their portfolio reflects that identity: women-led companies, underserved markets, and problems overlooked by legacy capital.Full episode Tammy Newmark, CEO and Managing Partner of EcoEnterprises FundTammy leads EcoEnterprises Fund, a women-run investment firm focused on nature-positive businesses across Latin America. For over two decades, she's backed companies in sustainable agriculture, ecotourism, and agroforestry – many led by women and rooted in rural or Indigenous communities.Gender equity isn't the fund's focus, but it runs through the portfolio: in leadership teams, supply chains, and daily operations. About half of their investments meet 2X Challenge criteria – not because it's the mandate, but because that's who's doing the work.With $150 million under management, the fund combines financial discipline with long-term environmental and social goals.Full episode Stephanie Cohn Rupp, CEO of Veris Wealth PartnersStephanie runs Veris Wealth Partners, one of the few wealth management firms built from the ground up to do just one thing: impact. With $2.3 billion under management and offices across the U.S., Veris has been majority women-led and women-owned since its founding in 2007.It's built entirely around impact – certified B Corp, net zero, and intentionally conflict-free – and applies that lens across every asset class, with a deep focus on racial equity, climate, gender, and community wealth.For Stephanie, this isn't about doing impact. It's about being built for it.Full episode—The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email update.Visit the SRI360° PODCAST.Visit the SRI360° WEBSITE.Follow SRI360° on X.Follow SRI360° on FACEBOOK.

The Trump Administration has quickly addressed the widespread Semitism on American colleges and university campuses b y yanking federal funding for certain schools that have done little to combat hate against Jewish students and faculty. The administration has yanked $400 million in federal grants from Columbia University, other schools losing federal funding include Northwestern University, Portland State University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Minnesota. But the real concern seems to be where problem schools get foreign funding and who, and what ideals are behind it. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Rabbi Yaakov Menken, Executive Vice-President Of The Coalition For Jewish Values, based In New York City, who says the largest foreign donors to to American schools and universities are notoriously anti-Semitic states.

Aaron Gasch Burnett is a German Canadian political analyst, news journalist, communications strategist, and expert on German politics with over a decade of experience based in Berlin and over 15 years in journalism, research, and communications. ----------William Browder was the largest foreign investor in Russia until 2005, as CEO of Hermitage Capital, when he was denied entry to the country and declared “a threat to national security” for exposing corruption in Russian state-owned companies. Since his business was stolen through a massive fraud by Russian state officials, and his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky ruthlessness murdered, Mr. Browder has sought justice outside of Russia and started a global campaign for governments around the world to impose targeted visa bans and asset freezes on human rights abusers and highly corrupt officials. The United States was the first to impose these targeted sanctions with the passage of the Sergei Magnitsky Accountability Act in 2012, followed by the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act in 2016. William Browder is Head of Global Magnitsky Justice campaign, and author of Red Notice & Freezing Order (April 2022). Now he is seeking justice for crimes committed by Russia at the behest of Putin, in Ukraine. ----------BOOKS:Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice (2015)Freezing Order: A True Story of Russian Money Laundering, Murder,and Surviving Vladimir Putin's Wrath (2022)----------Your support is massively appreciated!

My guest is James Sexton, Esq., a renowned attorney specializing in contracts related to love and money—prenuptial agreements, divorce and custody. We explore the counterintuitive fact that people with prenuptial agreements tend to stay married longer and report more satisfying relationships than those who don't. We discuss how legal contracts can foster deeper understanding by encouraging vulnerability and honest communication about each partner's values and expectations. We also examine what defines true, lasting love versus generic romantic ideals—and how social media can distort our understanding of what we truly need. Additionally, we review how cultural traditions, gender dynamics, courtship length, and age at the time of marriage shape marital outcomes. This episode offers practical tools for anyone—single or partnered—to build more successful and stable relationships through deeply honest dialogue and contracts that reflect genuine values around love and money.
