Any decision to invest shall be based solely on your own consideration and analysis of the risks involving a particular offering and is made at your own risk. You should seek the advice of an attorney, financial analyst or accountant before making any investment decision, including any decisions of risks you may wish to take that you are informed about through the Widerberg Group. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for determining the suitability of an investment or strategy and accept the risks associated with such decisions, which include the risk of losing the entire amount of your principal.

We do not review this advice, but rely on the contributions of our members to help us understand who is responsible for what statements.
Real Estate Investment Opportunities
One of the Services the Widerberg Group offers is the facilitation of real estate investment opportunities during in-person or virtual meetings (each, a “Club Meeting”). The Widerberg Group does not endorse any of the opportunities offered directly by other Users, including those presented at a Club Meeting, nor does the Widerberg Group make any recommendations regarding the appropriateness of opportunities for any investor. THE PRESENTATION OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES DURING A CLUB MEETING ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. ANY SUCH PRESENTATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER, OR SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER, TO BUY OR SELL SECURITIES, NOR A RECOMMENDATION TO BUY OR SELL ANY SECURITIES. OFFERS TO SELL, OR SOLICITATIONS OF OFFERS TO BUY, ANY SECURITY CAN ONLY BE MADE THROUGH OFFICIAL OFFERING DOCUMENTS PROVIDED BY THE ISSUER, WHICH CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, FEES, AND EXPENSES. FURTHERMORE, ANY INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO CONDUCT DUE DILIGENCE IS EDUCATIONAL IN NATURE, AND YOU SHOULD ONLY USE THIS EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION IN PRELIMINARY REVIEW AS A WAY TO HAVE A BETTER CONVERSATION WITH YOUR TEAM OF LICENSED PROFESSIONALS TO DISCUSS THE SUITABILITY OF ANY STRATEGY FOR YOUR OWN BUSINESS.The terms of any investment opportunity provided by an issuer shall be negotiated and agreed to directly between the issuer and individual Users. The Widerberg Group takes no part in the negotiation or execution of transactions for the purchase or sale of securities, and at no time has possession of or access to funds or securities. The Widerberg Group will not enforce any aspect of your contract(s), express, or implied, and has absolutely no interest in private dealings between Users. The Widerberg Group does not endorse any User. You agree and acknowledge that none of the Widerberg Group, its officers, directors, employees, representatives, affiliates or agents, including Ryan Widerberg, will participate in the offer to sell or solicitations of offers to buy any securities, or make a recommendation to buy or sell any securities, offered by other Users.
Although the Widerberg Group may provide data, information or content provided by third-parties or us relating to investment strategies and/or opportunities to buy and/or sell securities, you should not interpret any such content as tax, legal, financial, or investment advice or a recommendation to invest in any real estate investment opportunity offered by other Users. Investment opportunities presented during a Club Meeting are speculative and involve substantial risk. Any decision to invest shall be based solely on your own consideration and analysis of the risks involving a particular offering and is made at your own risk. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for determining the suitability of an investment or strategy and accept the risks associated with such decisions, which include the risk of losing the entire amount of your principal.
The Widerberg Group may also provide information regarding business regulations, including tax, legal, financial and investment regulations. This information is educational and academic in nature, and you should not consider it as individual advice under any circumstances. We do not know the intricacies of your business or position, and you understand that only your professional team can understand your business enough to offer competent advice.
Federal and state securities law and regulations restrict investment in private securities offerings. Investments in private placement are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. Real Estate Investments are foremost in the high degrees of risk, especially those investments that are based on the financial instruments of specific transactions rather than ownership interests in land. Investments in private placements are also highly illiquid. You should not invest with other Users unless you are willing to accept the risks associated with private investments and are able to bear the loss of your entire investment. Before you invest in any investment opportunities offered by other Users, the Widerberg Group recommends that you consult with a financial advisor, attorney, accountant, and any other professional that can help you to understand and assess the risks associated with any investment opportunity. THE WIDERBERG GROUP IS NOT A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER, INVESTMENT ADVISOR, INVESTMENT MANAGER, MORTGAGE LOAN BROKER, MORTGAGE LOAN ORIGINATOR, ATTORNEY, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL ANALYST OR FUNDING PORTAL, AND DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY ADVICE, RECOMMENDATIONS OR PROVIDE ANY DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW.

Securities Products; No Advice Provided
The presentation of real estate investment opportunities by other Users during a Club Meeting are for informational purposes only. Any such presentation does not constitute an offer, or solicitation of an offer, to buy or sell securities, nor a recommendation to buy or sell any securities. Offers to sell, or solicitations of offers to buy, any security can only be made through official offering documents provided by the issuer, which contain important information about investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses. You agree that you understand that the form of any offer should be on the Board of Real Estate Contract applicable to your local jurisdiction and cannot be adequately conveyed through the Site. The terms of any investment opportunity provided by an issuer shall be negotiated and agreed to directly between the issuer and individual Users, and the Widerberg Group has no privity to this.
Securities offered directly by other Users are only suitable for investors who are familiar with and willing to accept the high risks associated with private investments, including the risk of complete loss of your investment. Securities sold through private placements are not publicly traded and, therefore, are illiquid unless registered with the SEC. Additionally, securities may be subject to restrictions on resale or transfer including holding period requirements. Investing in private placements requires high risk tolerance, low liquidity need, and long-term commitments. Users must be able to afford to lose their entire investment. Investment products are not FDIC insured, may lose value, and there is no bank guarantee.
None of the information provided through the Services constitutes a recommendation, solicitation or offer by the Widerberg Group, its officers, directors, employees, representatives, affiliates or agents, including Ryan Widerberg, to buy or sell any securities or other financial instruments or other assets or provide any investment advice or services. All information contained in the Services has been prepared without reference to any particular User’s investment requirements or financial situation. The Services are not provided to, and may not be used by, any person or entity in any jurisdiction where the provision or use thereof would be contrary to applicable laws, rules or regulations of any governmental authority, regulatory or self-regulatory organization or clearing organization, or where the Widerberg Group is not authorized to provide such information or services. Some Services may not be available in all jurisdictions or to all Users.

ALWAYS CONSIDER SEEKING THE ADVICE OF A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL BEFORE MAKING DECISIONS REGARDING YOUR BUSINESS AND/OR INVESTMENTS. THE WIDERBERG GROUP DOES NOT ENDORSE ANY INVESTMENTS AND SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY TRANSACTIONS YOU ENTER INTO WITH OTHER USERS. YOU AGREE THAT THE WIDERBERG GROUP AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES OR AGENTS, INCLUDING RYAN WIDERBERG, WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY SORT INCURRED AS THE RESULT OF ANY INTERACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND OTHER USERS.
Featuring of or discussion through the Services of any offering does not constitute endorsement by the Widerberg Group or representation of the quality of any potential investment in such offering. The Widerberg Group does not endorse any issuer or any underlying assets. The securities being offered directly by other Users have not been registered under the Securities Act, in reliance, among other exemptions, on the exemptive provisions of Regulation D under the Securities Act. No assurance can be given that any offering currently qualifies or will continue to qualify under one or more of exemptive provisions from registration due to, among other things, the adequacy of disclosure and the manner of distribution, the existence of similar offerings in the past or in the future, or a change of any securities law or regulation that has retroactive effect. No governmental agency has reviewed the offerings presented through the Services and no state or federal agency has passed upon either the adequacy of the disclosure contained herein or the fairness of the terms of any offering. The exemptions relied upon for such offerings are significantly dependent upon the accuracy of the representations of the investors to be made to the issuers and issuers presenting offerings. In the event that any such representations prove to be untrue, the registration exemptions relied upon by an issuer in selling the securities might not be available and substantial liability to such issuer would result under applicable securities laws for rescission or damages. These risks are non-exhaustive and are intended to highlight certain risks associated with investing in securities that are not registered with the SEC. We strongly advise you to consult a legal, tax and financial professional before investing, and carefully review all the specific risk disclosures provided as part of any offering materials AND ASK THE ISSUER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE OR REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. The Widerberg Group receives no commission or transaction-based compensation in connection with the purchase or sale of securities by any User. The Widerberg Group is not in contract with any private agreement or contract between Users. The Widerberg Group is not a registered broker-dealer, funding portal, investment adviser or investment manager, and does not offer investment advice or advise on the raising of capital through securities offerings. The Widerberg Group does not recommend or otherwise suggest that any investor make an investment in a particular offering, or that any issuer offer securities to a particular User. The Widerberg Group takes no part in the negotiation or execution of transactions for the purchase or sale of securities, and at no time has possession of or access to funds or securities. The Widerberg Group cannot guarantee that Users will use the proceeds of any offering in accordance with the stated purpose. Users acknowledge and agree that the Widerberg Group makes no representation, warranty or assurance that the offerings presented directly by other Users are made in accordance with federal and/or state securities law, including the exemption to the sale of unregistered securities, or the legality of any offerings therein. Any gratis offers, gifts with purchase, or bonus items offered by the Widerberg Group, or Illinois Home Auctions Corporation are not guaranteed and are subject to termination, substitution or elimination.
