@Orlando Paz you want assurance?

This will assure that you will get your money and tenant does not have to worry about putting the check "in the mail"

You won't get a guarantee, only an assurance from the agent.

@Dylan Tanner we use the preferred return to assure the investor that they will receive all of the cashflow if we are not able to perform as projected.

I'm just starting investing in small MFs, I'm mid 40's, single Mom and professional career woman and didn't even cross my mind over the last 20 yrs although I started in afford housing compliance with a state housing fin agency.  

You will get a feeling in your gut....I assure you.  

That's why you see the vast majority of riba-free loans being offered only in ethnic communities with little to no oversight on their operations/compliance and the like.

A bunch of intelligent people on this forum can't even come to a consensus as to if bird dogging is illegal or not.Wholesaling,Bird dogging,Brokering there are many actions that can make something an illegal activity if not structured and in compliance within the Federal and State laws.I think the illegal thing is to get the investor buyer off the phone.The broker simply doesn't know the intentions of the investor and their so called strategy.The investor if they make a mistake gets a slap on the wrist usually.The broker/agent could lose their license over making a small fee compared to the investors returns.As a broker/agent you do not want ALL business.If I don't feel comfortable with a strategy then I don't have to involved in it.Usually if you increase the earnest money for the seller it will get rid of these types as they don't have a pot to p#ss in.

Here's a lengthy article I saved from a few months ago discussing ROBS and IRS compliance.
