Accredited Investor Requirements for the Latitude 20 REIT Offering
To comply with U.S. securities regulations under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, participation in the Latitude 20 REIT is limited strictly to accredited investors. This classification ensures that participants have the financial capacity and sophistication necessary to evaluate and withstand the risks of private real estate investing.
Individual Eligibility (Rule 501(a), Regulation D)
An individual is considered an accredited investor if at least one of the following applies:
-
Has a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or jointly with a spouse or spousal equivalent (excluding the value of a primary residence).
-
Has an individual annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 jointly with a spouse or spousal equivalent) in each of the last two years, with a reasonable expectation of maintaining that income level.
-
Holds certain professional financial licenses, such as Series 7, Series 65, or Series 82.
-

-
Is a registered investment advisor, broker-dealer, or other qualifying institution.

Regulatory Overview: Rule 506 Offerings
The Latitude 20 REIT offering is conducted under Rule 506 of Regulation D, which provides two key pathways:
-
Rule 506(b): No public advertising is allowed. The issuer must reasonably believe all investors are accredited.
-
Rule 506(c): Public advertising is allowed, but the issuer must take reasonable steps to verify accredited status, such as reviewing tax returns, bank statements, or third-party verification letters.
Private REIT Considerations
The Latitude 20 REIT is classified as a Private Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), which differs significantly from public REITs:
-
Available only to accredited investors
-
Not listed on public exchanges
-
Shares are illiquid and may not be transferred or redeemed easily
-
Investors must understand and accept higher risk, reduced liquidity, and longer-term commitment
Investor Compliance & Verification
All investors must undergo an accredited investor verification process before any capital is accepted. This may include submission of:
-
Income documentation (tax returns or pay stubs)
-
Net worth verification (bank, brokerage, or retirement account statements)
-
License verification for qualifying professionals
-
Third-party verification from a CPA, attorney, or registered investment advisor

Cumplimiento normativo mexicano y estadounidense
El fondo se adhiere a un marco de doble cumplimiento:
EE. UU.: Opera como un REIT privado bajo las leyes federales de valores, administrado por una LLC con sede en EE. UU. (Astamar Asset Management LLC). Supervisado por el Director de Cumplimiento, cumple con las obligaciones de presentación de informes ante la SEC y el IRS.
México: La adquisición de títulos y activos se realiza a través de Hauzen Consultoría, una entidad mexicana. Todas las adquisiciones se notarian, se inscriben en el Registro Público y se someten a la debida diligencia por parte de asesores legales mexicanos. Cumplimos con las normas fiscales del SAT y del INM (normas de inmigración/propiedad extranjera) y utilizamos fideicomisos cuando es necesario.
Esta estructura garantiza que el fondo mantenga la transparencia, la protección de los inversores y la legitimidad operativa en ambas jurisdicciones.
