I already have experience managing properties and I’ve been learning a lot about renovations (I just can’t do most of the work right now due to the pregnancy), so I’m trying to find the best route for me now while also securing a little home for my little family.

Right now I am thinking of just picking a company based on web reviews .. is that a good idea?

I can bring capital to the deal, partners and then a combination of loans/hard money to secure the property and start the rehab.

Their security deposit is only $400 which doesn't even cover the cost to paint the whole unit. 

Real estate attorneys, closing attorneys, fair housing attorneys, and securities/syndication attorneys are all different.

Please, realize I am not giving Investment Advice regarding any specific Security or Securities. 

If the investors are passive and have no active role you have a security and is regarded a syndication . 

She mentioned to me that items under the property to secure the foundation was not completed and began to tell me what was wrong.

Obviously that secures my house to the loan, but it would basically keep me from draining my savings account to throw in a 20% down payment.

What do you do to ensure that the tenant is responsible for security deposit disputes since that is the largest reason for owner lawsuitsHow familiar are you with the newly changed laws that can affect you the owner if they are not used correctly?.
