Any sort of public offering (shares or units sold to strangers) is a much bigger deal.

Never take online legal advice from strangers."

For those who want to do this with strangers, I recommend furnishing the rooms.  

Lol, I rather have a total stranger find me an investment than a previous Morris invest employee....They couldn't find/provide a realistic investment then...yet not they are flying solo and things are going to be better... right lol.

I am no stranger to the woes of bad tenants.

Anybody have any experience on creative financing or partnership (with strangers)?

They should not be discounted just because you have a business to run.A non paying tenant would get my same efforts.Idea:If the issue is "a stranger " should not be in the home I rent, perhaps the owner can take video of the insides.

As for partner/private lenders I have exhausted my options with people I know who are capable of investing without asking complete strangers.

Seems like they're asking for a very low % on their money for a complete stranger.

You can legally walk up to strangers in the mall and ask for a loan.If you want people to invest in your company, they you are limited to people you have an existing relationship with unless you do a public offering.
