Rule 506b of Reg D – Non-Accredited Investors & No Solicitation
1. Introduction to Rule 506(b) Rule 506(b) is part of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. It was created to help businesses raise
When you’re raising capital, your investors aren’t just looking at the deal – they’re looking at you. If your syndication isn’t structured properly, if your documents don’t inspire confidence, or if your compliance isn’t airtight, investors will walk away.
I know this firsthand. I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve raised capital, I’ve pitched real investors, and I’ve had my own deals on the line. I know what serious investors expect, what gets deals funded, and what turns investors away.
That’s why I created The Investor-Ready Syndication Package™ – a structured, proven legal framework that gives investors confidence and protects your raise. Here’s how it works:
Your syndication needs more than just a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM). Your investors expect a syndication that’s legally sound, structured for success, and professionally executed. This package ensures your offering stands out and gives investors the confidence to commit.
Investors don’t just look at your deal – they look at the legal foundation behind it. If your syndication isn’t structured properly, it can lead to disputes, compliance issues, or investors backing out last-minute.
Unlike firms that provide cookie-cutter agreements, I tailor your structure to your specific deal, investor base, and long-term goals – structured to protect you legally while making investors feel secure in your syndication.
Forms both the investment and sponsor entities, ensuring your syndication is set up for success.
Custom-drafted operating agreements protect you and your investors from legal headaches.
Includes an entity management guide so you understand exactly how to maintain compliance.
SEC compliance isn’t optional – it’s essential. A single mistake in your Reg D offering can lead to delays, fines, or even investor lawsuits.
Many attorneys leave compliance to you after drafting documents. I ensure every aspect of your syndication stays compliant so you can focus on raising capital instead of worrying about the SEC.
Handles SEC Form D and Blue Sky filings so you don’t have to navigate compliance alone.
Provides unlimited amendments – ensuring your filings stay up to date.
Raising capital means navigating complex legal questions—accredited investor verification, finder’s fees, investor suitability, and more. You won’t have to figure it out alone—we’ll be here to guide you.
A deal is only as strong as the investor onboarding process. If your subscription agreements are confusing, if your compliance is unclear, or if the process feels unprofessional, you’ll lose investors.
Most firms hand you legal documents and leave the rest to you – but without a smooth investor process, deals stall. We ensure onboarding is frictionless and investor-friendly, so investors feel confident wiring funds into your deal.
Includes step-by-step investor onboarding instructions, making the process seamless.
Every Investor-Ready Syndication Package™ is offered at a transparent, flat fee – so you never have to worry about unexpected legal bills.
The Investor-Ready Syndication Package™ isn’t just for one type of syndicator – it unlocks different advantages depending on where someone is in their capital-raising journey.

Raising capital is stressful enough – you shouldn’t have to worry about unexpected legal costs or whether your syndication is structured for success. That’s why we offer three ironclad guarantees to ensure you have clarity, confidence, and peace of mind throughout the process.
We believe in long-term partnerships. Your second deal should be easier than your first—so we reward our returning clients with special pricing.
We believe in long-term partnerships, and once you’ve worked with us, you’ll never pay full price again. Returning clients receive special pricing on all future deals – a simple, transparent way to support your continued success.
We reduce your risk of an unsuccessful raise.
Raising capital isn’t just about legal compliance—it’s about structuring a syndication that inspires investor confidence and secures commitments. If you follow our process and your first deal doesn’t move forward, we stand by you. With our Capital Raise Guarantee, we’ll apply your original payment toward your next deal—treating it as a rewrite. You won’t pay again until you bring us a new deal after a successful raise. Because when you succeed, we succeed.

Legal fees at traditional law firms can add up fast. With us, you’ll always know your total cost upfront—so no matter how complex your deal gets, your legal fees won’t. We charge flat fees only – never hourly – so you can focus on raising capital without worrying about unexpected legal costs.
Tilden Moschetti’s clients have successfully gone to raise capital from $1 million to $200 million, for projects that include:
Tilden’s clients have raised money for projects as unique as these:
Tilden has become my one-attorney stop for all of my syndication needs. I’ve done three syndications through his law firm already, and each one was a home run.
It’s been helpful that Tilden knows his commercial real estate stuff in addition to law. He helped solve an issue with a parking lot that was about to turn into a disaster. That deal almost didn’t happen. Thanks, Tilden!
I do about twelve syndications per year, and Tilden is my go-to guy. Always responds quickly to my texts and has resolved my last-minute drama more than once.
My investors really like PPMs prepared by Moschetti Law Group – even people without much knowledge in real estate can understand them.
With this PPM, you’ll stand two heads above the crowd. Sophisticated, accredited investors judge your deal by the quality of the PPM. Everything you’ve told them doesn’t count until they see it on paper. So giving investors a five-star legal document prepared by an experienced syndication attorney will reassure them that you are the real deal. A PPM is your insurance against investors’ and authorities’ allegations – when everything is in writing you’ve got proof of your compliance in securities laws and right-doing.
It’s called ‘All-Weather’ because it literally must protect you in every possible scenario, come rain, shine, or unexpected legal hurricanes. And to do that, it must do an outstanding job of addressing every possible scenario. Meticulously and one by one.
The SEC’s Form D and any state blue sky law filing (you just pay a nominal amount for the filing fees).
You’ll have 24/7 access to your ‘living’ documents online. Got changes to the core documents? Not a problem. Decided that it should be a 506b instead of a 506c? All you have to do is ask.
These documents simplify investment into your syndication and make what seems like a confusing process into an easy, paint-by-numbers path.
You don’t want to leave money on the table, but you also don’t want to kill your deal by asking for more fees than the market can handle. The Sweet-Spot Sponsor Fee Audit will guide you towards the best fee structure for your deal (and will help you present it to the investors in such a way that doesn’t raise eyebrows (or puts your trustworthiness under question).
A comprehensive library of video resources to turn you into a fund-raising and crowdfunding pro. One of the clients called it ‘A Ph.D. in syndication!’
This part of the ‘Nothing-Held Back’ Syndicator Support System is very straightforward. Get answers from the syndication attorney to your questions within 8 business hours, most often within minutes.
An add-on to the Client Instant Text Hotline, where we continue curating your syndication, making sure you are in compliance as the year goes on.
Special multiple deal pricing for repeat clients. Call for details.
This guarantee takes away much of the risk of not getting funded. Call for details.
Each syndication has its own timeline. Whether yours should be open for funding in two weeks, or in one month, it will be ready for business on your timeframe, guaranteed.
In law practice, attorney fees could rake up pretty quickly. With the Flat Fee Guarantee, you won’t have to worry about exceeding your budget, even if your syndication project exceeds the originally discussed scope of work. We charge only flat fees, never hourly.
An Investment-Grade PPM will help you pass the ‘blink test’. Because wealthy people are uber-cautious, a PPM is their only way to feel reassured that your deal is real, you are to be trusted, and that their investment is legally safe (because everything they are worried about is covered extensively and in writing). When An Investment-Grade PPM answers (and preempts!) investors’ objections, that’s money in the bank.
Blue skies laws are sometimes a suitable vehicle for syndicators to raise money. But to use those laws, you’ve got to comply 100% with its stipulation – all investors must come from one state. While blue sky laws suit some syndicators, they are ill-advised for others. I’ll help you figure out the best fundraising path for you.
While about 85% of our practice is for real estate syndications and working with real estate entrepreneurs, we have also worked for amazing startups and mid-sized companies looking at raising funds, as well as a broad range of private equity funds.
Here’s what you need to understand. The Securities Act and Regulation D were enacted for consumer (investor) protection first and foremost. The SEC’s primary concern is ensuring that people won’t be taken advantage of. That’s why some Reg D rules allow marketing while some strictly prohibit it. This means we need to find the best match between your fundraising (and personal financial) goals and the laws under which we’ll file your real estate syndication (. What you want is to achieve your goals while avoiding the ‘grey’ zone, which invites SEC scrutiny and often prosecution.
Whether you are looking to raise capital from just accredited investors or including non-accredited investors as well, we can help you structure your real estate syndications (or other offerings) in a way that is compliant.
When syndication is executed properly, the syndicator does not pay for any of the expenses associated with forming the syndication and getting it to the funding point. The cost of the PPM and other contracts within the Complete Reg D package are business expenses that should be passed on to the investors. And here’s another thing to remember – it’s in investors’ interests to legally bulletproof their investment, so there’s no ‘convincing’ the investors that the cost should be passed on to them. That’s the Golden standard, the cost of earning ROI through your project. You’ll get the fixed quote for the Complete Reg D package during our phone call.
It does happen (though pretty rarely), which is why I am probably the only attorney who would make this guarantee to minimize my clients’ risk. My Capital Raise Guarantee will cover you in case your deal just didn’t come together as you planned. (We’ll cover this guarantee in detail during our phone call.)
Absolutely. Raising money for an open-ended fund is a different animal because instead of selling a projected return on a specific real estate deal, the parameters of the fund are fluid (especially when it comes to tricky questions like ‘When can I withdraw my money?’). But this is my area of expertise, so even though forming a fund is more complex than raising money for a single property, I’ll help you reach your fund vision without a hitch.
Time is a precious commodity for you and for me. If you’ve got partners, make sure all decision-makers are present on the call. Why? Because I see this all the time – even a small difference in how two parties see their business can change what I ‘prescribe’ as the best path forward. What you want to avoid is creating more tension between you and your partners by not letting their point of view being heard. But if all the parties are on the call, that means I know all the fact and I can help you find both the common ground and the best solution.
If you are a single decision-maker, then you’ll get the most out of the appointment with me by being 100% clear on your desired outcome.
