=Short legal field notes from syndication attorney Tilden Moschetti for sponsors raising capital through Regulation D offerings, private placements, syndications, and investment funds. In this episode, we look at why using a convertible promissory note for bridge capital before a Rule 506 private placement acts as a current debt liability. A real estate syndication sponsor often uses these notes to secure early funds, but treating them as future equity can raise unexpected issues with senior lender covenants, subordination, and SEC integration. We cover why startup templates generally do not fit a leveraged capital stack and how to structure early money so it aligns with both the commercial bank and the main Regulation D offering.
