I see you're in Austin too so you know first hand that you can't even buy a cardboard box to live in for $100k here.You're right about making sure I understand what I'm doing. 

I agree it is rare but I think a few messages back and fourth can give you additional confidence.I have been hosting for over 10 years and I would have no issue renting to this family.  

@Joseph A Rangel, Yes, I am in Ventura county and my remaining entitlement would definitely not be able to get me even a cardboard box.

Not sure if this is a limitation from the issuer, in this case, Stewart Title Guaranty Company or if Empire just doesn't want to do this for me. 

If you have a network of investors they can let in on the GP side and through the issuer exemption you can raise equity for your deals. 

It's like floors covered with cardboard .....looking good on the pictures - flips only.I used Allure but it's not holding water as expected.

Can't help but notice that like 99% of MLS providers' initials end in 'AR' for Association (of) Realtors® i understand ethics requirements and good for the community and such, but arent even those intrinsic to state license issuer, not commercial brand?

I shouldn't have much issue renting out the extra rooms and if I were to move, I don't see much issue renting out the unit. 

I don't really see this as much of an issue real estate investing.

What is typical is for the platform to work as an issuer and issue payment-dependent notes for debt projects (bridge loans, interim construction loans, rehab loans, etc.).
