The US is unique in many ways to the rest of the world.

http://www.insurent.com/slpb_ll.shtmlquote from their website:" For landlords, the Insurent® Program is a unique no-cost method to increase occupancies, eliminate rent loss, and streamline the rental process for all parties where the prospective renter does not meet your minimum financial requirements, and needs to put up additional security, prepaid rent, or have a qualified co-signer at 75x-100x the monthly rent.The landlord accepts the Insurent® Program; the renter pays for the Insurent® Lease Guaranty.

Yearly combined rent is 25800 (2150/month)I will be paying water- about 2400 per year (200/month)insurance and property taxes come to about 6617 (552/month)monthly mortgage is 1240I know the cashflow is not nearly at the ideal amount, only coming in at $158 but is appreciation and the terms alone worth it?

But wanted to combine my personal stuff too

But using two seperate contracts always works and using a contract that incorporates a lease and an option only in limited situations simply is nothing more than a seperate product to be marketed, it serves no unique function that would not be accomplished with two agreements.You need to begin at the beginning to understand concepts used to buy, use or control a property.

Unlike Regulation D Rule 506 private placements to accredited investors following the JOBS Act, crowdfunding does not allow advertising except solely to direct investors to the appropriate broker/funding portal.I think careful combination of "inbound marketing" using social media tools, and collection of the appropriate informed consent from investors will make this ok.

It's a stellar deal, so find that win-win combination and make it happen.Mike P.

Every state has unique laws.
