In other states there are other regulations and requirements so be aware of that.

@Mehran Kamari Exactly.So the question is, Can they bend at all with all the new regulation?

The downstairs property is managed by a management company within an apartment complex regulated by an HOA, but the upstairs apartment is owned by a private owner and not managed by the management company (still part of the HOA though).

There are simply too many strings that are likely to come with taking this money for most quality promoters or business owners to utilize it.What is much more likely to get utilized is Title IV and the "Regulation A+" apparatus for raising up to $50M in a 12-month period.

Only the US government can garnish wages in Texas, a private individual can't.

I'm hoping this will work out better than my attempts to get ahold of someone from the government... they seem to always be away!

IF you want to be a money manager and go big get familiar with Regulation D 506 and it could open a whole new universe...

@Matt Vaughn Brokers and agents get confidential information from their clients that might be shared with other agents and brokers, but they do not want made public, and that's why there are rules governing MLS access.

I would think that the worst has passed now that a new government is in and intent on returning to a more investor friendly regime. 

When you start dealing with Private Lenders you start getting into SEC Regulations.. you might want to stick to the Hard Money Lenders and Lenders registered with the Banking Commission.
