I treat this money the same way I treat my 'last month's rent' account, it is never touched unless it is to conduct a specific task.If I know a roof is due for replacement in the next 4-10 years, I'll let the Cap Ex fund grow $200/month until the roof replacement comes due.

All transactions relying on the new rules would be required to take place through an SEC-registered intermediary, either a broker-dealer or a funding Platform.Company Disclosure Requirements Companies that rely on the recommended rules to conduct a crowdfunding offering must file certain information with the Commission and provide this information to investors and the intermediary facilitating the offering, including among other things:o information regarding the price and pricing method of the securities and the targeted offering price;o a discussion of the company’s financial condition;§ financial statements of the company that, depending on the amount offered and sold during a 12-month period, are accompanied by information from the company’s tax returns, reviewed by an independent public accountant, or audited by an independent auditor. § A company offering more than $500,000 but not more than $1 million of securities relying on these rules for the first time would be permitted to provide reviewed rather than audited financial statements, unless financial statements of the company are available that have been audited by an independent auditor;o A description of the business and the use of proceeds from the offering;o Information about officers and directors as well as owners of 20 percent or more of the company; ando Certain related-party transactions.

I talk extensively about how we have turned personal into rental on my website.

Eric H. would you buy a $300,000 property without conducting a thorough title search?  

You dig down under these section in sequence, first doing all of the A's, then the B's, C's, D's, and finally the E's, pouring a new footer and then foundation wall extension for each section allowing it to harden thoroughly before proceeding on to the next set of sections.

Make sure you make full disclosures, have a built in extension and make lots of subject to re-assignment auction offers.Charles

Thank you, Brian I could not tell if you were just kidding or serious.As to the OP's query, in CA probate auctions may be conducted for both private sales and public administrator.
