When I appraised notes for the State of Missouri, the very first question I had was "Is this obligation enforceable, was it in compliance with rules, regulations and laws at the time it was originated?

Yes, up, it's simple obvious supply demand metrics. 

@Josh LemonsThey have a regulation A offering which is open to accredited and non accredited investorsThe great thing is they have to submit their offering circular and have it qualified by SEC as well as submit financial information etc.All this means is the information is readily available and if you do not understand it then I recommend engaging an attorney who can interpret it.

Quote from @Adam Bartomeo: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: U also are fighting all the investor who flooded int to build new homes for rental purposes so OVER supply.. and we know a ton of those got stuck with bad builders and are being worked out so supply is going to keep coming in ..
