Before anyone raises capital, they tend to ask the same questions. What is a security, really? Why does my deal fall under securities laws? Why do I need so much paperwork? And why does everyone keep pointing me to Regulation D?

In this episode, Corporate Securities Attorney Kim Lisa Taylor and Syndication Attorneys’ Client Success Coach Krisha Young break down the top seven questions they hear from potential clients before they ever become clients. In plain English, the hosts explain what a security actually is, why it’s fundamentally a contractual agreement, and how the rules governing private capital raises are created and enforced.

The conversation covers Regulation D, the practical differences between Rule 506(b) and Rule 506(c), why Rule 506 is the most commonly used exemption, and why alternatives like Rule 504 rarely make sense for nationwide raises. We also explain why changes to securities laws, like changing accredited investor definitions take time, including the roles of Congress, the SEC, FINRA, and state regulators.

If you’re considering raising capital and feel confused or overwhelmed by the rules, this episode answers the exact questions most people ask at the beginning and explains why the answers are never as simple as they wish they were.

When a syndicated property goes back to the bank, it can feel like the end of the road—but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode, commercial mortgage expert Eric Stewart joins us to unpack what really happens when a syndicator loses a property to foreclosure, how lenders evaluate your future loan applications after a loss, and what you can do to rebuild your reputation and credit.

We also dive into the darker side of “non-recourse” loans—those comforting words that sometimes come with hidden teeth. Eric explains how certain borrower actions, even accidental ones, can trigger bad boy carve-outs, turning a non-recourse loan into a personal liability nightmare.

Whether you’re navigating a distressed asset or just trying to stay out of hot water, this conversation will arm you with practical strategies to mitigate risk, negotiate smarter, and recover stronger.
