We've used Reg D 506(b) for our syndications and ONLY communicate with investors that have a prior relationship with us.There are two illegal activities that I see all the time. 

House hacking is the BEST way to get into real estate investing and that's how I personally got started as well too.

If they’re financing, the process already takes time, so a slight delay probably won’t matter.If the home is vacant, maybe they can move some things in as a short-term tenant until closing (if their lender and community allows it).

Sold it, setting a new price record for the street at the time.

Enough to make it a full time business? 

If you're in real estate, whether as an agent or a developer, SB-9 in San Diego City is something you need to have on your radar and smart investors can make it work to their advantage.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I am looking forward to meeting people from different aspects of the Real Estate Investing world.

A real estate company told me the house needs too much work to rent out, and that an auction is the best course of action.

I think RI will continue to appreciate and over time as you(tenants) pay down the mortgage creating more equity.
