crowdfunding with funds from foreign investors

[Ana Jolie]

I would like to starting an initiative to pool together loaned funds from foreign investors for the purposes of buying rental properties here in the U.S. My questions are:

1. I know there are regulations on money going out of the U.S. but is there a problem with soliciting incoming foreign funds?

2. Does anyone have any guidance on how I should approach this or expertise in this area?
