If something goes wrong with the property—like debts or legal issues—your personal stuff is generally safe.

Right now, this type of arrangement is perfectly legal (clinic within SFR neighborhood), but that could always change.

In which case I would worry about legal exposure.

If you don't know how to do any of this, I recommend you hire an attorney to help you with the process.Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

The syndication model will not work for small deals as the legal and compliance costs are not justified for raising small amounts of money.* The customizable fund can be used for raising money for a single deal or investors can invest in a bucket of properties so their risk is diversified.Please reach out to me if you would like to learn more.

I'm new to the private lending space and am trying to get my bearings straight before talking to a legal experts. 

I have more of a legal background approach.

All the legal issues came as a RESULT of "The Don" running for office again, and being involved.

There may be a PM organization you can file a complaint with but only a lawyer could tell you if a suit against the PM makes sense.

I mean you could make offers and if you are in the market and they aren't you can always file complaints, (only legit ones) with the city, to keep it on their radar and make it a squeeky wheel for the current owner, but yeah i'm not really a fan of bailing out people in any industry who make mistakes, so by all means by the properties but not your or anyone else's problem that they made the errors they did.
