Do you know if there's a government agency I should contact about regulations for group homes? 

Also if there are multiple owners it ends up being like a HOA and I would view it as complete chaos on who is actually running the show.Why are you bullish over these vs. a traditional  Regulation A+ or Reg D 506c offering where you invest in the entire pool?

Crowdfunding is essentially old-school syndications that use newer regulations that allow them to market over the Internet. 

Sometimes it's ambiguous, but even then, why should I bother with the company that has numerous unresolved lawsuits, versus another company that is virtually the same but has none.

If you buy a pre foreclsosure and sell it within a few years you owe the owners who sold it to you 70 or 80% of whatever you made.. thats why I no longer do foreclosure rescue.. it just takes one person to file a complaint with the AG in states where this is highly regulated and it becomes a very stressful for you.

The costs to build are too high, and until fuel prices drop and the environmental regulations are toned down, that won't change, meaning existing housing will continue to go up.

Short-term rentals tend to do better with cash flow, which is increasingly difficult in a saturated, heavily regulated market.

These condo complexes have been used as STRs since inception so there's little to no chance of that ever changing in the future making this a safe investment in terms of changing regulations.

Demand for housing in Bali exceeds availability, and favorable construction costs, salaries, regulations, and taxes make Bali an attractive destination for real estate investors.As @Benjamin Werner mentioned owning property in Bali works a bit differently than you probably would expect.

I can give numerous examples of California investors I know losing money from buying in "cheaper cash flow on paper markets."
