Most of these funds will accept investments from individuals provided they're accredited investors and can prove they are.I investigated many third-party verification services yesterday that provide a screening service where you can demonstrate you're accredited without having to give the sponsors tax returns, letters from your CPA, etc.

Here's a couple of the articles:http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/2013/12/08/debt-collecting-machine/http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/investigative/2013/12/08/local-laws-do-little-to-protect-homeowners/Just be careful.

If your state also has income taxes, that is another complication to investigate.

seems like it's worth to investigate further on this topic!

On or before COE, Buyer warrants to Seller that Buyer has conducted all desired inspections and investigations and accepts the Premises as is.

IMO, if you can't crank out 10M in loans a year, it won't be worth it.You may want to investigate originating loans as a broker and be licensened to fund your own loans in CA.

I will investigate.
