How the NASD wants you to market a TIC.
When does a §1031 real estate exchange become a security, and how does the NASD impact how a Tenant-in-Common fractionalized interest is presented to potential investors?
In the past five years, sales in Tenant-in-Common (TIC) investments have escalated from a several hundred thousand dollar business to a several BILLION dollar business, estimated to reach 7 billion by 2007 based exclusively on real property. Due to this growth, the SEC and NASD have zeroed in on protection of prospective investors. The NASD in recent "Notice to Members" wish to clarify the marketing of Tenant-in-Common securities. When creating marketing materials, compliance with SEC and NASD regulations in this industry has become a confusing and entangled question mark for many sponsors, broker/dealers, investment advisors, attorneys and registered reps. Electronic www.Theater.com produced the TIC industry's first association website last year and continues to update the site with new information. When you become a member of TICA (Tenant-in-Common Association,) you are privileged to read the "Notice to Members" regarding General Solicitation under Regulation D from the NASD, and commentary from TICA at: http://www.ticassoc.org. TICA also has an upcoming TICA Annual Conference at The Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, October 5, 6 and 7, 2005.
For the past five years, Electronic www.Theater.com has been the marketing company specializing in creating compliance accepted marketing campaigns that include websites, educational CD-ROM programs, videos, brochures, and corporate identity media geared toward and to include the most current information on the §1031Exchange and TIC industries.
