You could reach out to Kevin Kim at Geraci LLP in CA who's firm does securities and PML law in all states and is intimate with CA, OR, WA, and ID laws as well as corresponding state specific financial institutions governance (in WA it's called DFI or Department of Financial Institutions) and how to navigate their expectations accordingly... 

If you can save enough money to come up with a down payment do that as well.  

We set the price based on our original assumptions but the offers we received were all well below what we needed. 

If you're well capitalized and simply want to experiment, either Option may suit you.

was wondering if anyone had this experience or insight on credit history.Met with a potential tenant for a class B-C type apartment I own and interview went very well, she asked a lot of questions about the unit and how things were run and who to call for utilities and Etc etc.. 

Effective HOA management & enforcement of rules can foster a sense of community, ensuring that properties are well-maintained.

Would have used OPM had I known about HML at the time!

The cream rises to the top and in my opinion the top 4 Real Estate crowdfunding sites at the moment are Realty Mogul, Patch of Land, Realty Shares,  and RealCrowd.Jon, I think your wrong on the funds as well.
