The SEC still has not written the rules that were supposed to be written by July 4, 2012.Your friend lending you money is probably not going to cause an issue under securities laws, but you will need to make sure you comply with the SAFE Act and any state lending laws.If you and your friend are partners (members) in an LLC, and you are both involved in the management of the business, then you probably don't have any securities issues because his membership interest would not be a security (even if he puts in most or all of the capital).

It's tough to know for sure if the drop in foreclosures is a result of HBoR, or just banks holding back while they watch the value of the homes secured by their bad loans rise.

You could also take a larger security deposit (if your state allows this) or prepaid rent (if tenant has the money), but you're still taking a risk dealing with people you know nothing about.

Hi Guys I'm new on Bp But I need some Help I showed one of my units today to a nice couple that does not have a social security # or driver license #.

What are building permits and starts like and how will that affect supply?

Although I can imagine a lot of munis wanting some security that the damage will be remediated, I don't understand how the city gets the funds.

Best use is lending funds secured by RE.
