It was definitely a wild situation that many business owners new and experienced can learn from.If anyone would like some more information on this whole circus I wrote a blog about it How should a business owner handle a Public Relations Nightmare?

I certainly don't expect anyone to do my research for me but it is nice to hear some opinions to clarify what I'm learning through my own research.I thought Fundrise was different from a publicly traded REIT in that I am actually an owner in the properties as opposed to just a stockholder of a company who owns properties.

Here's some good info:http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landlordbook/

Public record states that it was purchased in 2005 (just before the peak of the market) for $220,000.It's a "condex" (duplex condo). 

You are now a principle in the transaction and you do not need to publicly market the property as your buyer is actually your “partner” for lack of another term.

So I start scrambling to get this to happen and as part of that, I look the guy up in public records.

If, in fact, the plat is not recorded in the public records, The Fund would not feel justified in authorizing a Fund policy covering the               title, since all of the descriptions in the chain of title which refer to the lot in the subdivision are insufficient without a plat of record             to show the location and boundaries of the property. 

It was just received a few weeks ago.And if you Google it, lots more instances of banks having problems so the above is not unique: Banks lost documentsAs to the certificate of satisfaction, check the public record to make sure it's filed.

Ok I know no one on here is going to tell me to break the law, so if there is something you can’t share with me on here publicly, please message me privately, but my question is about permits.

Trusts create this anonymity by removing your name from public record.
