Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the U.S. federal agency that regulates securities offerings. That includes some real estate investments in which investors pool money and expect profits from someone else's efforts. Whether a particular co-ownership offering counts as a security depends on how it is structured and marketed. GoForth owners buy a 1/4 interest in a specific home through an LLC, use the home personally and vote on major decisions. [Legal review required before this page states any regulatory conclusion.] Buyers should review the offering documents with their own attorney.
