Pooling resources, this is a very sticky area, I'd say most know that an "investment club" you know 12 little old ladies or phat cigar smokers have to register with the SEC to buy securities, putting "investors" together to buy mortgages has the same requirements and if you're in a management position, welcome to the brokerage business.
