UP FRONT AGREEMENT

At VAMOS Capital Group, before we start engaging with potential investors in search of INVESTOR PARTNERS, from our first phone call or meet-up, to engaging them about their investment goals, we set up ground rules as guidelines to help determine if multi-family investing is a “go” or “no go” way  to grow and protect our investors’ wealth, so that they can retire with confidence and achieve financial freedom.

All offers are on a first come first come, first served basis. No places are reserved. If a potential INVESTOR PARTNER, after qualifying, does not get their funds wired in a timely fashion for said investment, the opportunity to invest may be forfeited for not responding in a “time is of the essence manner.” The time period specified is not in days. The specified time period ends when all capital raising has been met by the General Partnership for the particular deal.
