Reg D investment....?
953234
There is no way that anyone can give you a definitive answer to this question.  Any company in the U.S. can do a Reg D offering.  There are three different ways to do them (504, 505 and 506, I believe).  Most of them are 506 which means the offering has unlimited size and cannot be sold to more than 35 investors who are not accredited.  It can be sold to any number of accredited investors.\n\nSome scam artists are using Reg D (see link below), but that does not mean that all Reg D offerings are scams.  Most are not.  The fact that something is not a scam does not make it a good investment.\n\nIf you want to invest in a Reg D offering, the issuer must provide you with certain information.  You will need to do significant due diligence to be certain that you aren't getting hosed.  Also, keep in mind that Reg D offerings are private offerings.  If you heard about it in a way that makes it seem like it is a public offering, the Reg D exemption might not cover them and the company might end up in a mess.  That means it spends a bunch of money on legal bills and you will be lucky to see a cent.\n\nReg D requires that the investors be sophisticated, either alone or with a purchaser representative.  The fact that you ask this question makes me believe that you should strongly consider obtaining a purchaser representative before making any investment in a Reg D offering.

Nope.  That is the risk you take with the market and using brokerage firms to manage your hard earned money.  All of the paperwork and even your quarterly statement indicated that these investments were no guaranteed, insured and could lose value.  It is a hard pill to swallow, but you are not alone.  The great thing is that you get to pay these crooks to lose your money!  Sorry,.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING !!!   No one should have more than 5 % of their total investments in any one stock.   If you purchased it at $ .50 (total investment = $ 5,000 ), wait til it hits $ 1.00 and then sell off half.  You now have all of your investment back and no matter what happens,  you are safe.  If it goes to $2.00,  sell off another half.    Then just sit back and hope that it goes to $ 10 and splits.  In a few years, you could have 10,000 shares worth $ 100,000 but, in the meantime, you have had no sleepless nights worrying about it.

It's a lottery type thing. Not on the shores of the US--that should cause you some concern. Their website says you get your return on investment in two years.

It depends on the equity later on down the road. Does the \n\nproperty hold value? Is this the only place you have \n\nlooked? It is your investment which you would need to think \n\nabout- it not just a yes or no answer.

CD is well known to be the safest investing instrument, but it's safe only if US dollar (or whatever your currency is) doesn't crash. However, given the current trend in US dollar, I am not too optimistic about that.\n\nAll other investment vehicles have varying degree of risk. If you have never invested before, I don't recommend any but suggest that you should spend at least a year to learn about investing before actually doing it. You can begin by reading books and articles from the www.richdad.com and www.investopedia.com. \n\nAnother thing I would like you to understand - If you don't accept any risk, why should you be awarded with any gain? The real idea about investing isn't to avoid risk, but to take limited, calculated risk for potential gain that's (very) likely to be at least a few times more than what you risk. To do that, educating yourself is of primary importance. If you can't accept any risk, or want not to spend time on learning how to, you should not invest.

Visit the company you would like to invest in and see if they offer direct investing.  Some do and some don't.  I bought Ohio Edison direct for a while thinking, if I was going to use electricty, then why not get a dividend from it.  You can buy directly, but you also lose the ability to get that buffer in a middle man, the knowledge, the expertise.  I would advise only investing a smaller sum of money, but I wish you the best of luck.

Very little. You can start with as little as $10 at www.betterinvesting.org\n\nYou can go directly to a company's "Investor Relations" area and see if they have a direct investment option.\n\nYou can also check out this company that can get you started for $4 plus a commission plus the cost of the stock. www.sharebuilder.com

This can be really complicated to answer.  Basically, you need to go where the money is.  Certainly you've made your requests clear to your current investors?  Where are their friends?  Amazing how secretive/greedy people can be when it comes to sharing (good) investment advice.  Call every bank, real estate company, mortgage company, investment group, investment company and talk to the right people.  If the returns are as good as you say, you should be able to drum up enough investors.  On the flip side, maybe the people with "money" are concerned about the housing situation; is your area getting overbuilt?  Amazing too how many contractors get myopic.  Part of succeding in business is being able to "see" changing economies and adjusting as required.  This IS a cyclic business.  If the rates don't stabalize here, people will tend to stay put.  Don't get caught with unsold spec's that you're forced to start "discounting"  I don't know where you are, but in our hot, hot market, the wise old builders are being very careful and building mostly pre sold customs.

SOME SAY IT IS NOT WORTH IT, PERSONALY MY OPINION IS IT IS WORTH INVESTMENT IN THE LONGER TERM. ALTHOUGH 'START UP' FEES AND COSTS ARE GREAT. THE COST ON THE ENVIOMENT IS ALSO LESS.
