It a 'get rich quick' scheme. This is how it works. They buy large acreage farmland for $X from a seller, and tell individuals they bought it for them at $Y. They will pocket the difference. They will not disclose to them who the original seller is or what price they bought it at. They make quick money in the process because Y can be anywhere from 1.5 to 2 X. They will make you believe that they actually bought it at Y from the seller and are just passing on the price. There will be no transparency in the contracts. They know their investor's hard earned money will not stretch far enough for the large amount. So they will make them to get a loan from a bank using their hard earned credit. The individual investor will be stuck with land that they paid upto twice the value and a mortgage for a couple of years. The investors will only make any money if the value of the land sky rockets in a couple of years. As an example: The group buys 1000 acres at the rate of $5K per acre. They will tell a jacked up price to the investors, say $9M. They will pocket $4M. If an investor purchases 100 acres, he/she will pay $900K at the rate of $9k per acre, by putting a down payment of $300k and taking a loan payment of $600k. The investor will now have a piece of land worth $500K, for which he paid $900K, and a ton of ‘HOPE’ that it will go upto $18K/acre in 2-3 years. They will wish them "congratulations, Good luck", and move on to the next set of unsuspecting investors. There are several doing this especially in the telugu community. Here are a few, but there are many more.
