How do I do this deal where I'm still in control and don't get taken advantage of?

There will be less police to control the increase in crime which may lead to more unrest.

Yes,  only if I had complete control. 

This is the route to go when you want to control all parts of your marketing. 

I have no real desire to do anything other than my own investing, but short of having a license, I don't see how I can have the control of the situation and information like I want to.

SF used to do studies and research on rent control, but then stopped doing them because they didn't like the results they were finding. 

Our family is 3/4 vegan with the only animal products we consume being leather and cheese, however, we are phasing both out.My position as the president of a tool company and a precision agriculture company consumes most of the time.

It's the only way to make sure you have FULL CONTROL over the property you've purchased.

As a seller I want to see a bank statement the last 30 days from the individual buyer showing they have total funds to purchase.If it's a corp they have to be the controlling officer and decision maker to bind them and the company to the contract.

Get a syndication attorney to help set up the proper agreements.The foreign investor will have currency exchange rates, withholding, and entity creation to think about.Whether you want to partner with them directly or have them be a completely passive investor with no control makes a difference.Bryan Hancock would be someone on here to run your scenario by.Doing a syndicate myself makes sense because of the returns I would get but putting all that together as a commercial broker transacting a 1 million dollar deal for 30k commission is not worth my time.I am looking at putting a few of these together myself.I want the setup to be ( sponsor fee 3% going in , 20% equity slice, cash flow percentage after investors are paid, and sponsor fee / commission of 3% when it sells ).I only would take exit fee if a profit was made on the project and take cash flow only after investors are paid first and reserves were in place.
