I think a team approach is fine, select reputable and ethical players.Asking for and suggesting "Investor Friendly" team players is code for unethical or for those who may operate outside of the regulatory structure or such....someone who may be willing to look the other way.If that's the way an investor deals, good luck, they won't be in it for the long haul.If something is acceptable and lawful, then any professional in any aspect will work with you, it's not them that have a problem, it's your guru strategy and attitude in business.This is not directed at any one poster but a general statement from the various posts giving the flavor to the topic. :)

In addition to regulatory liability, there is lawsuit liability for exposing people (employees, tenants, neighbors).See my consulting company's web site news Section for some of my published magazine articles on these topics.

These wrap around things are popular but they are not tried and tested in the body of law and stand to fail pretty often.

Hey guys, I have run into a problem I have never been through on this SS and I was wondering if any body has any advice on what I can do.Heres the story:I started the short about 4 months ago.

No body could ask for more.

I am under no stress to try to just put bodies in .. if it takes a year NP... but when its done it will be about as solid as I can make it.. and a good investment for the next person. 

We found no body in the house.

That number probably looks "stupid" to the guy underwriting to T12 at the prevailing stabilized cap rate.Brian:We have yet to venture into the waters of syndication here in Canada ... much legalise and regulatory jargon to digest first ... not to mention needing more experience playing with the big blocks.   

I'm not familiar with FL rules, but NC intrastate CF law just went into practice and even if you stick to all accredited investors (which IMO is a good idea) the regulations give some structure that can (again IMO) put people on the regulatory bypass.... a 'fast track' of sorts.

Are they looking away, looking down, etc.There are certain body signals to deception where people will say the right things but their body language shows off their true intentions.Nothing is 100% safe but there are steps you can take to put things in your favor.
