I wonder if that is what will happen with this FAF CA model and that model in theory would have way more ongoing profits than just holding gold. 

Using them as a business model (selling property you do not own) is not.

Definitely inspiring to an aspiring real estate investor! 

its just so rampant that the states can't keep up. and some states take a completely blind eye to it. if you read the REGS on what is required to bring two parties together on property you don't actually own in a scheme or business model you will see that the definition needs  a license..

Most models are expandable to some degree to fit most any shower.

I am personally testing a similar model with 3 properties in coastal SD. 

Thanks and you definitely give me something to aspire towards.

A loan is not an old contract for deed arrangement which is also an issue today.What someone might do in one state and in one county shouldn't be a model for private lenders.
