THE STRUCTURE AND SET-UP OF
A SUCCESSFUL AfBA
Of utmost importance in structuring a successful
AfBA, is the choice of its investment
members and managing partner. Troon Management Corp., in our role as consults,
assumes the responsibility of impartially building a financial scenario within the
guidelines of RESPA that is, from the start and over the long term, equitable and
profitable to all investment members.
Years of experience in structuring AfBAs have provided Troon Management Corp. with
the skills to accomplish this fundamental goal.
Troon Management Corp. uses Limited Liability Companies and Limited Partnerships as
its primary structure for AfBAs. The obvious reasoning behind this choice
is
found in the issue of liability. Our structure provides a financial return for a one-time
investment with minimum risk to the investment partners.
An additional benefit of our structure is that it allows for lenders, builders, sales
associates and realtors of all sizes to participate equitably in an Affiliated Business
Arrangement. Large realtors and builders are certain to own and operate their own "in-house" title
agencies, reaping the financial rewards these operations offer. However, the small to
mid-size companies, have the ability to gain the same strength though our unique structure.
We do not expect the investment members/partners to become proficient in the title
insurance arena. Nor are they required to follow every change in the regulatory
environment. Our members are at their highest and best use while building and selling
homes.
Likewise our consultation client as the Managing Partner is at its highest and best use in
providing management services to the operations side of the entity. Personnel issues,
management reporting, tax filings, compliance regulations and changes in title
requirements are all the responsibility of the manager and the staff of the entity, not the investing partners/members.
