§ 10237 Real Property Secured Notes Exemption

This rule only matters when you use a special exemption called Section 25102.5 to sell securities; it doesn’t cover other exemptions or permits, and it makes you follow all its steps if you’re selling a group of loans backed by real estate.

Key Takeaways

  • •Only applies when the exemption under Section 25102.5 is claimed.
  • •Does not apply to other exemptions, like subdivision (e) of Section 25102, or any permit under the Corporate Securities Law.
  • •Any sale of a series of notes secured by real property must follow all the provisions of this article.

Example

A real‑estate developer wants to raise money by selling a series of notes that are secured by a piece of land and says they are using the Section 25102.5 exemption.

Because they are using that specific exemption and the notes are backed by real property, this rule says they must obey every requirement in this article. If they tried to use a different exemption, this rule wouldn’t apply.
