People don't get hauled away to prison for changing their W-4 exemptions, with the intent to pay in full, including penalties, if necessary.

You also should have audited financials done (which will cost $10-$15k so a $450k fund makes little sense)Can you get away with not doing this, yes but if it goes bad and someone gets upset and files with the state regulator you will basically go bankrupt with the fines (and potential prison time).Lastly you have to file a form d with the sec BEFORE raising money and you also have to file each time you have a new investor in that state.My recommendation is get an attorney like yesterday.  

The previous owners hid extensive foundation instability, (patched up drywal cracks, put in new tile ect) which i found but had no recourse because the guy who sold it to me was in prison for tax evasion.

@Andrew JohnsonThe legality of it is internet access is restricted in prison.

im merely translating what everyone here means to say, but theyre just too polite and politically correct to say it in the way that i said itits all up to you what you want to do. i understand youre just here to ask for other people's opinions, and well, im here to give mine. if you dont want these opinions, them simply dont ask for them.this woman is talking about having you buy the things she wants for herself (updates to house), and having you pay for them just because "youre her boyfriend". she doesnt appear to have an income yet. shes racked up tons of debt in student loans, and the very job shes going to classes for pays a notoriously low amount of money. from what it sounds like, this is the definition of entitlement and stupidity. i would feel pretty selfish if i were to even mention something as ridiculous as that, and yet im earning nothing. so suddenly im the bad guy simply warning you about this woman?

In 2012 Cleveland didn't even make the FBI's notorious top ten list.

Sure, it's a notoriously tenant-friendly state, and I doubt many other states are like that, but the OP definitely needs to check the local laws just in case.
