I'm a beginning investor and i see the power of using private funds but i just don't know the proper and legal way of doing this.now i know about talking to people you know, other investors, and marketing to other high net worth individuals, which all of this i would consider the first step in the process.the second step i'm guessing some will say is working out the agreement/financial details with the your private lenders once they say they want to invest (which i plan on doing all this in step one, letting them know they're either going to invest as a lender or has a partner and this is what they'll get in either scenario)but my questions are:1. when do i have to worry about the SEC?

All I need is for someone to guarantee that I would get funding if I can get a deal.

I am told but have not verified that some pension funds are deep into Fannie and Freddie as well.

Also, what is security deposit in " Certified Funds"????

Some Pointers on Sandwich Lease Options: * You Lease Purchase the home, and then sub-lease and sub-option to a tenant buyer for a better deal * If you have a smart Owner, an Owner that wants to make money with you, you can do a JV Agreement, where you share in profit over a certain amount (you are upfront about what you are doing: guaranteeing no out of pocket payments to the Home Owner in return for positive cash flow now (income) and a possible profit when the Tenant Buyer gets funded

A lot of it was lost in stocks, now we save mostly in our 401 and 403, My IRA and Mutual Funds.

I am young too (28) and have done very well on some investments (RE, stock, bonds, etc..), and lost my butt on a few too.

Not the best use of funds.

But for a savvy investor in need of additional funds, it is great money source.

This has been a huge roadblock on funding new deals.
