As I said before, if they are pooling money with little or no investor control, it is a security under SEC rules and needs to follow the rules for a security.I do not have a turnkey business, but happen to be selling a turnkey property if you wish to contact me.

While the 506c  certification is a pain for all involved, it does allow the platforms to advertise and it does allow for the open discussion of the deals outside of the portals.506b deals are easier to make the investment, but they do not allow any public discussion of due diligence materials and the portals will not even let web sites discuss returns after they are funded.

Hello @David L. welcome to the BP web.  

I've had places with flaming code violations that managed to sell and close because the appraiser didn't know and the town didn't check for those specific issues (I'm thinking specifically of furnace issues).If they're just backyard projects, they may just need to be cleaned up and made safe/secure before closing.
