So maybe by doing it outselves will be a better option with the help of subcontractor, the next time.The reality is that I am the one intereseted in not losing money because is my business, the contractor does not have a problem with the time, he has his money secured. 

I think master lease at least provides you with some sense of security on getting the money on-time, headache-free.

My tenants are currently requesting a month to month but I would like them to renew there year lease so I have a little more security.

To me this means having a primary residence in the under $1mil range (but doesn't necessarily have to be under $500k).I will still have school aged children and need access to great schools, ideally public to avoid the cost of privateI would still value the ability to access metropolitan environments, though I don't need to live in the urban core. 

Entire security deposit of $1000 is gone to the unpaid rent. 

All of that is public info. 

2) Whether or not advertising on my own website constitutes a general solicitation to the public for a securities offering.3) Whether or not I need to be registered as a broker-dealer for providing investment advice with respect to recommending the purchase or sale of securities.I absolutely plan to consult my attorney on these questions but I’m also looking for some experience based answers and a place to look some of these things up in black and white in order to have a more productive and informed discussion with my attorney.Thank you everyone!

I just wanted to come on here and publicly say I do not like the negativity and rudeness I’m seeing here.

Assume an accredited investor and no securities law issues for simplicity.1) Homeowner pays for a legitimate appraisal.2) Homeowner grants the right to Investor to receive 10% of any appreciation above the appraised value when and if the house is sold.3) In exchange, Investor pays the homeowner an amount equal to 10% of the appraised value, with 20% down and the rest on an interest-only promissory note held by Homeowner.4) The note bears interest at Prime + 0% and does not have any origination fees or prepayment penalties.5) The investor gets credit for 10% of the eventual net proceeds from sale with the net being 10% of net sales proceeds less the remaining balance of the loan.6) If the investor defaults on the loan and fails to cure the default, the claim on the equity is forfeited.7) The homeowner remains fully responsible for costs of maintenance, insurance and taxes, but this is offset somewhat by the interest on the loan and the cash received upfront.8) Presumably if there is a gain beyond the homeowner's basis, there is no tax for now unless the proceeds exceed $250k for an individual or $500k for a couple.
