Is Your Real Estate Deal Breaking The Law?

In this episode of Life With Mikey, Mikey Taylor sits down with real estate syndication attorney and entrepreneur Bethany LaFlam, a powerhouse behind the legal strategies of capital raisers and boutique hotel investors.


They go deep on:

* Why some people may be raising capital ILLEGALLY (and how to do it right)

* The real reason not to take money from friends and family

* The legal minefield that’s waiting for influencers on Instagram

* How Bethany turned a boutique hotel in Belize into targeting a 23% annualized return

* What nobody tells you about using Other People’s Money (OPM)* The secret power of fund-of-funds, and how to structure them legally

* How to get out of “micro-influencer” land and build real deal flow online


This isn’t just about real estate, this is about building wealth, protection, and playing the long game like a pro. Whether you're an aspiring syndicator, operator, or passive investor, this episode is your legal and strategic roadmap.
