Amen, bonafide real estate people really don't need to put "deals" out to the masses, they have enough relationships to make them happen on their own.

However, I would not play with this because that is a great way to land yourself in prison for mortgage fraud.

An update on how everything turned out - including how expenses played out - would be greatly appreciated.

Investors profit with Principals on the deal...that's how it works, but if your "Teachers Union" investors are simply owning stock market shares in the company on the stock exchange they are "Playing the Market" up and downs and are not sharing in the profits of the company.

@Kay Kay Singh Glad that worked out for you, but IMO that's playing with fire. 

From what I've read, I think sending out an automated mass text message to people who have not provided express written consent is illegal.

Should I get my license to level the playing field?

I took a pay cut with my company to keep it afloat, play the long-term game, and to stay with the company/help it grow, so I have been strapped with cash.How should I responsibly handle this 1k/month once we move in?

Plus, I didn’t play soccer in 2nd grade...but nice guess.

Obviously also the amount of leverage plays a large role.
