Prototypically, high-yield
investment programs present one of the largest frauds that are ongoing
today. Every single year, billions of dollars of investor funds are lost
due to high-yield investment program scams, offshore "investment
programs", forfeiting and forex (foreign currency exchange) trading program schemes. The scammers
are quite sophisticated and may have been the basis for the movie The Game
that depicts a complicated investment program fraud that becomes a game of life
and death. As with every great scam,
the high-yield investment program is based on a factual premise - investor
participation in development-stage companies and commercial real estate projects
that create attractive yields through the enhancement of the company's (or
project's, as the case may be) operating income as assets are assembled, built
and/or otherwise acquired and combined to create a higher operating
income. The resulting operating income is the basis of the gain the
investor typically receives as a result of an equity syndication cash-out and/or
refinance of the capital funding structure of the project (or company). Rainmaker
Marketing Corporation provides a reasonable alternative to these scams via its
commercial real estate fractional (tenants-in-common)
syndications.
Rainmaker creates syndications for the financing of commercial real estate
developments nationwide and offshore. Rainmaker's approach is to require
each developer/sponsor seeking financing to provide a comprehensive checklist of
due diligence documentation
that must support the transaction. Rainmaker then reviews the due
diligence documents for the purposes of catching obvious errors and/or omissions
that would have a material impact on the proposed project being financed through
the syndication fractional ownership interest funding approach. This
approach to syndicating equity financing focuses on utilizing Rainmaker's
extensive due diligence documentation experience and expertise in a way that
creates a syndication platform that automatically ferrets out the most egregious
offenders in terms of project developers and sponsors seeking to finance
projects that are not ready to be syndicated and forcing the sponsor/developer
to provide in-depth documentation as to the market issues, financial feasibility
issues, business model management issues and projected financial returns. The
Rainmaker Marketing Corporation approach is to focus on syndicating financial
opportunities at three (3) basic levels:
-
Pre-Construction Phase
Syndications. These are syndications of fractional real estate
ownership interests in commercial real estate development programs that have
not as yet obtained a bankable financing commitment for the construction
financing. Projects in this category are expected to provide a
near-term window (less than three years) with a gross return of 150% to
300%. These syndications present significant risks and significant
rewards.
-
Construction Phase
Syndications. These are syndications of fractional real estate
ownership interests in commercial real estate development programs that have
obtained a bankable financing commitment for the construction
financing. Projects in this category are expected to provide a
near-term window holding period with a gross return of 125% to 250%.
-
Post-Construction Operating
Phase Syndications. These are syndications of fractional real estate
ownership interests in commercial real estate development programs that are
about to complete construction or have completed construction phase
operations and the financing is primarily an equity cash out. Project
is in this category are expected to provide a gross return of 250% to 450%
for a 7 to 10 year investment holding period.
