She and I jointly own about 10 units while the rest are under my name. 

Assuming that the offering was a securities offering, as opposed to a joint venture, we’d need to know first if the offering was a registered offering or was claiming an exemption from registration.  

Maybe you can do a joint venture first in NC to test the waters and build your team there.

They filed 4 complaints jointly, and 4 each individually (12 total).

Most of our assets are jointly owned.

Why of course the easiest guys to work with.Bought that house on owner financed terms with a Joint Venture partner and it was a pretty great deal.

I file jointly with my wife (both have W-2's) and I have one rental property that is under my name.
