Here's a solid lawyer's perspective of the half-dozen-plus ways that a crowdfund site can organize themselves under securities law.

I've been talking about it for a couple months now and I've finally gone to meetup.com and organized my own real estate investors meet up for my area.

Just saying in case you want to stain the doors.The process:You need to wear a respirator, not the ones for dust or sanding, they make special ones for stripper and organic material.

Many good renters are looking in advance and organized in their search.As others have mentioned, the place is usually more organized and neater several weeks ahead versus two weeks prior to move.

It a great group of experienced investors, both friendly and saavy, who are well networked in Austin: http://www.meetup.com/REALESTATEinvestormasterminds/Another BP member and I recently organized an unofficial BP meet up the second Wednesday of the month at Starbucks in Randalls grocery story (3300 Bee Caves Rd) @ 10 AM.

For properties outside of the East Bay such as Marin, Sonoma, San Francisco, South Bay and the Peninsula I would request some gas allowance.If you're looking for a reliable, hard working and organized partner to help keep your projects moving along and within budget send me a note and we can discuss further.

@Darren Sagger organized the last one not long ago.

Many organizations (property management companies, large investors) have a large (and mostly un-quantified) risk that they should be addressing.

Also I learned very little about this organization as it seemed to he mostly hype and little substance.

@Roy Schauer is the organizer for one.
