Some more links that you might find handy:Ian Ippolito's wonderful site all about this: https://www.therealestatecrowdfundingreview.com/Dave Thompson has a very informative blog: https://www.thompsoninvesting.com/blog-1As far as my existing deals, go... both are relatively conservative but is more so than the other. 

If they are passive, then they are a limited partnership and you should register it as a securities offering.There is probably some gray area on what your partners need to do, but talk with your attorney on that one. 

@Nicholas Gray.

I’ve been working with a couple of RE agents and analyzing deals on the MLS daily - but very few show promise.I was listening to a BP podcast yesterday from a month or so ago with Paul Thompson and Paul talked about a bunch of ways to find motivated sellers.

@Julia Gray I did my first deal and froze for about 4 months. 😁 Then I learned about BRRR, got myMoney back and started the process.The girls know that the worse the smell, the more money we make!!!

Well I just finished writing my profile introduction and uploading a picture because I was getting sick of looking at the gray tie'd avatar already.  

there are many ways to skin this cat.Leverage and team is important as @David Thompson was mentioning.I will give you another one to think about.what I did was raise some friends and my own cash and got 4 to 1 leverage for a HM lending lines of credit from banks.. we started with 1 million in capital which got us a 4 million dollar loan.. so had 5 million to lend out.. paying bank 1 point and 6%  and lending at 15 to 20% apr and making the delta.we ran that up to 35 million.. and that took about 14 people to run..

@Charles Gray yes definitely.

Just listen…Episode 283 Paul Thompson - Quite a new episode but I would think everyone would agree this is a top episode.

As with any law there's a lot of gray areas but personally, in my contracts I let the seller know we might assign it to someone else, it has never been a deal killer.
