b'Big banks and Wall Street have once again been accused of manipulating a major market. \\xa0As if the LIBOR scandal wasn\'t bad enough, the latest allegations of Treasury market shenanigans highlight the dangers of little fish swimming with big sharks.\\nBut with banks paying virtually nothing on savings, and high yielding residential real estate getting harder to find...where\'s an investor to go for higher yields and real assets?\\nIn this episode, attorney Mauricio Rauld talks with us about the growing popularity of private placements. \\xa0These are non-publicly traded investments where a sponsor organizes a group of private investors to purchase a single property or a portfolio of properties.\\nThese are deals typically too big for Mom & Pop investors to do, so you\'re not competing for profits with Johnny-come-lately novices who bid prices up. \\xa0But they\'re also too small for the big institutions to bother with, so there\'s often a "sweet spot" with private placements where deals still make sense...even in a hot market.\\nThe Real Estate Guys\\u2122 radio show provides real estate investing news, education, training and resources to help real estate investors succeed. \\xa0Learn more and subscribe to the free newsletter!
