I follow your blog and enjoy it.

I understand they will be aggressively searching through web sites listing short term vacation rentals.

There is a ton of info here on BP so make sure you browse the forums and blogs and listen to the podcasts!

I'm not seeing how this arrangement does not transfer an equitable interest in a property, but maybe I don't understand enoungh of the details of this deal.Here is my blog post on BP on the Lease and CFO subject.http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/3/blog_posts/26565-a-contract-for-option-is-better-than-a-lease-optionFeel free to PM me, and calling is easier to explain things.

This is obviously no good.The title of this blog may not be very good though (no offense Corey), I came here thinking I would read some horror stories from an RE investor shopping around and getting different changing quotes.We are hard money lenders and we get people shopping all the time, we are shoppers ourselves, we dont see any problem with "shoppers", we are actually thankful for being in the US and having options.

Said simply, the transaction costs as a percentage of the amount raised (up to 20% on $1 million) is simply too high compared with other options available. http://www.forbes.com/sites/deborahljacobs/2013/04/17/the-trouble-with-crowdfunding/http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/economy-a-budget/299341-is-crowdfunding-to-be-crowdlessI believe the JOBS act better qualifies to startups due to (a) startups dont require that much capital at first; and (b) aside from angel investors, its the only option they have given their risk profile.

So I started cruising the web for more properties.
