There are some things only tenants know but can drastically affect the property value such as parking issues or maybe large pools of water that collect in the yard when it rains.

When you offer it as a lease option, you open it up to a whole other pool of people that wouldn't have looked at it as an outright purchase.

But if you pool their money, you're much closer to "selling securities" and all the baggage that entails.So, if you're trying to do fix and flips, and this person really, really trusts you and you're confident you won't hurt them, then doing this as a personal loan may be the right approach.

MSR's are routinely sold when mortgages are pooled and sold as securities.

There will be some complexity to pooling independent investors.
