I'm a beginning investor and i see the power of using private funds but i just don't know the proper and legal way of doing this.now i know about talking to people you know, other investors, and marketing to other high net worth individuals, which all of this i would consider the first step in the process.the second step i'm guessing some will say is working out the agreement/financial details with the your private lenders once they say they want to invest (which i plan on doing all this in step one, letting them know they're either going to invest as a lender or has a partner and this is what they'll get in either scenario)but my questions are:1. when do i have to worry about the SEC?

A Treasury official confirmed that regulators were working out details of an intervention plan on Saturday.

Give details of the two properties?

With many clients I go into detail about the lender's par rate to me as a broker versus a "marked up" rate.Sometimes I know I've lost them when I start mentioning pricing adjustments and factors that affect their rate/cost.

Can anyone that has it give a little bit more detail?

My kids are totally fascinated by this show and watch it frequently.

If you include a few more details, you may elicit better advice.

Perhaps you can get more details on what the roofer plans to do, and we can offer a better idea of whether you're getting ripped off or not.

PM me if you need more details.

After that I do exactly what you describe and dig into the details including reserves.
