The SEC still has not written the rules that were supposed to be written by July 4, 2012.Your friend lending you money is probably not going to cause an issue under securities laws, but you will need to make sure you comply with the SAFE Act and any state lending laws.If you and your friend are partners (members) in an LLC, and you are both involved in the management of the business, then you probably don't have any securities issues because his membership interest would not be a security (even if he puts in most or all of the capital).

Would getting a secured credit card be a good way to start with building credit?

It's tough to know for sure if the drop in foreclosures is a result of HBoR, or just banks holding back while they watch the value of the homes secured by their bad loans rise.

You could also take a larger security deposit (if your state allows this) or prepaid rent (if tenant has the money), but you're still taking a risk dealing with people you know nothing about.

Best use is lending funds secured by RE.

Much better to invest the funds while keeping them inside the retirment accounts.So with good information, you can accomplish what your instincts are telling you you should be able to do, in order help secure a better retirement for yourself.Happy to help,Alan
