Broad Hybrid Syndication — Presented by Bangs & Hammers
From the desk of Alvin E. Johnson — Thank you to everyone engaging across our channels.
Your questions, answers, and suggestions sharpen our thinking and accelerate our progress.
That momentum is reflected on the Bangs & Hammers blog, where your feedback becomes practical guidance and a clearer long-term roadmap.
The "principles of divine governance" serve as the philosophical and operational foundation for Alvin E. Johnson's authority within Spuncksides Promotion Production.
This concept, as presented by Johnson, frames his roles as "Founder, Visionary Architect, and Supreme Director of Strategic Authority" within a divine, rather than secular, context.
This framework is outlined in public posts and promotional materials for the organization and its associated brands, such as "Bangs and Hammers".
Key aspects of divine governance in this context
Source of authority: The titles and powers held by Alvin E. Johnson are presented as being derived from a higher, "divine" source. This is a common theme in religious or quasi-religious movements, which grants leaders an absolute mandate to lead.
Organizational structure: Johnson's authority flows from this principle, dictating all managerial and structural decisions in alignment with the organization's business plan.
Ethics and legacy: The governance principle is used to define a "legacy investment strategy grounded in ethics, sustainability, and multi-generational impact".
Historical parallel: The concept is reminiscent of historical doctrines, such as the "divine right of kings," which asserts that a monarch's authority comes directly from God and is not subject to earthly authority. This gives the leader absolute power and immunity from conventional accountability.
General meaning of divine governance
More broadly, outside of the Spuncksides context, "divine governance" is a theological concept describing God's rule and authority over the universe. In this general sense, it is described across various religions and contexts as encompassing order, justice, and the fulfillment of a higher power's will.
In theological texts, divine governance operates through consistent moral and spiritual principles. In the Spuncksides context, however, the term is uniquely applied to the organization's internal structure and the authority of its founder.
Building a Diversified Real Estate Legacy is a Bangs & Hammers and Spuncksides Promotion Production LLC initiative centered on a strategy we call Broad Hybrid Syndication.
The goal: build multi-generational wealth through diversified, sustainable real estate that delivers measurable community benefit.
Guiding Theme: “Bridging the Gap Between Education and Employment.”
The Broad Hybrid Syndication Model
Broad Hybrid Syndication (BHS) integrates multiple real-estate approaches into one cohesive portfolio strategy—balancing wide diversification (“Bangs”) with targeted, hands-on execution (“Hammers”) to pursue resilient returns and impact.
Broad Diversification
By Property Type: Blend multifamily residential with select commercial assets to avoid over-concentration.
By Geography: Emphasize emerging Midwestern markets while spreading exposure across regions.
By Risk Profile: Mix stabilized income assets with value-add opportunities to balance risk and return.
Hybrid Investment Vehicles
Debt + Equity: Pool capital across both equity and debt positions. Equity participates in appreciation; debt targets steady interest income.
Lower Barriers to Entry: Syndication enables participation in larger, more profitable deals.
Cyclic Re-investment: Recycle returns into future acquisitions and upgrades to compound growth over time.
Sustainability & Social Impact
A core focus is acquiring primarily 8–12 unit multifamily properties and retrofitting them with energy-efficient, smart-home technology—raising asset value, lowering operating costs, and enhancing the resident experience.
This aligns with ESG-minded outcomes and community uplift through sustainable, affordable housing.
Platform highlight: Online Marketing Connection supports promotion and education around these opportunities.

How to Find & Finance Eco-Conscious Short-Term Rentals in Battle Creek, Michigan
Bangs & Hammers • SPUNCKSIDES Promotion Production LLC
How to Find & Finance Eco-Conscious Short-Term Rentals in Battle Creek, Michigan
A practical roadmap for investors who want to align returns with sustainability—covering how to source properties, choose meaningful green upgrades,
and use Michigan-specific financing (like Michigan Saves) and national renovation loans to fund improvements.
Last updated: August 25, 2025 • Location focus: Battle Creek, MI
Battle Creek’s rental market rewards properties that reduce utility costs and emphasize comfort, resilience, and lower emissions.
Whether you acquire an already efficient home or buy a solid property and retrofit it, your listing can stand out with features like
smart thermostats, EV charging, and verified energy savings—often supporting stronger occupancy and ADR (average daily rate).
Thesis: Combine location + green features + clear marketing (photos, amenity list, projected savings) for outsized appeal to eco-minded travelers and cost-conscious guests.
Search for terms like eco-friendly, energy-efficient, solar, EV charging, and smart.
Prioritize newer or renovated buildings; they often include better envelopes, windows, and mechanicals.
Consider “buy & upgrade” as a winning path
If inventory with built-in green features is thin, acquire a well-located property and add upgrades (insulation, heat pump, air sealing, LEDs,
smart controls, EV charging). Many upgrades can be financed via programs like Michigan Saves.
Michigan Saves is a nonprofit green bank that partners with lenders and authorized contractors to finance 150+ types of clean-energy and efficiency
projects—including upgrades on single-family rental properties owned by the applicant.
Most residential upgrades use unsecured personal loans (no appraisal/equity required).
Work must be performed by a Michigan Saves authorized contractor.
Typical minimum credit standards apply (e.g., a FICO threshold; exact criteria vary by lender).
