There are a number of exemptions and exceptions to securities registration the issuer can qualify for based on what the offering is, who will be accepted, and the target raise this round. 

@Maxwell Hibbard If you put down 3.5% on a house now, would you still have a 3-6 month emergency fund if you lose your job, or if the HVAC system craps out, or if you need a new roof, or if you have significant unexpected medical or auto expenses?

I filed a tax exemption and was approved for it using a building permit that showed $110k worth of work was put into it.

Do not sign an assignable contract until you have had the opportunity to investigate the true value of your property and the legal implications with an attorney.Take responsibility for being informed about the value of your property and the contracts that you areconsidering signing.Distressed Rescue TransactionsInvestors and real estate brokers are approaching distressed homeowners (those behind in their payments, facing foreclosure, or experiencing a medical issue).

There are some exemptions to taking money out of your Ira without penalties-checkout irs code section 72t and see if it helps.

If the property has homestead exemption, the redemption period i believe is 2 years. 

If you were to subdivide and sell the land to a controlled S Corp you could use Treasury Reg §1.121-1(b)(3) to exempt the gain of sale on the land. 

My partner likes the area, thinks renovations are reasonable...it's near major medical hospital, which is the biggest thing in the area.

The penalty is loss of exempt status, and a tax bill on the entire amount invested in IRAs immediately due and payable at ordinary income tax rates, and a 10% penalty.

This letter i received basically says that due to my tax exemption history on a 3 unit house, my house is subject to becoming a stabilized house.
