And you need to talk to an attorney to make sure you are not violating any SEC rules, i.e. even if your minimum is $1,000, if you are 506(c) exemption, your investors need to be accredited.And loans: talk to lenders.  

Keep in mind that the sponsors with the longer track records and deeper bench of investors are unlikely to use some of the newer exemptions. 

Adam,In Berkeley, my recollection is that under Measure Q, if a single family homeowner builds an ADU AND occupies one of the two units, then the homeowner will be exempt from rent board regulations.

@Mac Boeve Michigan statute requires you to provide a MoveIn Checklist to every tenant, which they have 2 weeks to complete and return.If you fail to provide one to tenant, it may exempt them from MoveOut Damages.If tenant fails to provide you a completed MoveIn Checklist, they assume all MoveOut Damages.If tenant fails to give you forwarding address within 4 days of MoveOut, you technically don't have to give them an Itimized List of Damages - meaning you can theoretically charge them for anything, any price.You should know, a judge may disagree with you if tenant takes you to Small Claims Court to challenge your SD deducations.
