The Blue Book of Real Estate Syndication.pdf

Dear Investor,

It has been said that, those who wish to invest wisely invariably turn to real estate to realize all of their

dreams.

How true.

It is also widely known that more millionaires have been created in the medium of real estate investing than in

any other. What is far less well known however, is that by participating in larger real estate ‘deals’ rather than

smaller ones, more money can be made, more quickly, and with nearly the same level of effort—or, if one is

truly wise, with no effort at all .

A person in the business of creating large real estate developments has much to do: locate and investigate the

property, conduct feasibility studies, consult with architects and tradesmen, design floor plans, visit city hall,

meet with councillors to obtain special permission for variances to local by-laws, employ salesmen to offer the

newly built or redeveloped properties, and a myriad of other tasks. -- Much to do for sure, but certainly not so

much as to prevent an experienced professional, with a team of talented and able men and women, from

accomplishing the goal and collecting the profits over and over again.

On the other hand, a person who invests in large real estate developments can gain substantial returns on

their money without doing one thing more than putting pen to paper. (Certainly, a wiser person than the first,

some might say.)

We at Pratten Properties are the first person, and we invite you to invest the next few moments of your time

studying this material to determine if you are to be the second.

That said, I am pleased to introduce you to our organization and our latest syndication opportunity: Namely, an

exclusive investment offering between 15 to 25% R.O.I. with a range of unique tax-sheltering possibilities.

In the accompanying booklet, we have been sure to include all the information that we would want to know

were it our first time considering partnering in a venture such as this. It has been written plainly and with a

minimum of distraction so that the investment opportunity described in its pages will be clearly understood,

and stand on its own merits. When you are ready, click this link to download the Executive Summary for our

current syndication project. When you have finished reading this informative manual in its entirety, please feel

free to contact me personally to answer any questions and to provide you with specific details on our latest

syndicated project.

Thank you for your consideration, and best wishes for your financial future.

Sincerely,

A LAN G. P RATTEN
