Crackdown On Conservation Easement Syndications

Crackdown On Conservation Easement Syndications

I got an off the record comment from a businessman who had recently been looking into investing in one of these deals (from a different promoter) and decided to pass.  He told me “There was not a single person who I spoke to who understood what they were who thought they should exist …” I have to say that before this announcement I would have told somebody who asked me about investing in one of those things, that I didn’t think they should work, but there is a good chance that they would.  At least for the moment, more seems to be right with the world.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
