If you look at the definition of a security here:www.sec.gov/about/laws/sa33.pdfyou find:(1) The term ‘‘security’’ means any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a ‘‘security’’, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.I've highlighted some of the terms that could refer to a loan.Now, like Corey Dutton I don't really think the SEC trolls craigslist looking for these ads.

Most times the rents just don't warrant the prices.

The end goal after being licensed would be to wholesale houses from distressed/motivated homeowners and to list others that warrant full retail pricing that way I have multiple revenue streams.

I am an active duty Warrant Officer with the Army and have been buying houses at every duty station.

IT IS THE BUYER(S) RESPONSIBILITY TO VERIFY FEES ANDASSESSMENTS.SELLER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PROPERTY MEET ANY CURRENT CITY, COUNTY, STATE OR FEDERAL BUILDING CODES.

@Shaun Reilly,In substance the two do not differ because they are both a "Security", though the loan may come from a lender and fall under lending regulations.If the loan is from a private person you are technically still engaged in offering a security by strict definition.From the SEC:Sec. 2 SECURITIES ACT OF 1933The term ‘‘security’’ means any note, stock, treasurystock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture,evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participationin any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate,preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share,investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of depositfor a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, orother mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilegeon any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities(including any interest therein or based on the valuethereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege enteredinto on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency,or, in general, any interest or instrument commonlyknown as a ‘‘security’’, or any certificate of interest or participationin, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guaranteeof, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, anyof the foregoing.

They just get the "Warrant of Restitution" notice on their door, but I don't think it gives them the date.Part of me doesn't want to offer him the info unless he contacts me asking about it.

Diane,If you don't want to be a landlord and want to move on with your life, google non-warrantable condos.

Often the only way you can work around a property that is listed at a higher value than the condition warrants is to submit your counter offer along with contractor estimates for repairs and proof of the true market value of the property (we are talking multiple BPOs and/or an appraisal).

In the standard CA listing agreement seller warrants to agent that seller is owner and has authority to sell.
