The SEC (Security Exchange Commission, not the South Eastern Conference) is pretty particular when it comes to soliciting investments, particularly from non-accredited investors and I suspect Frank-Dodd has only made this more difficult. Not that I am against anything like this. I like a forum where real estate investors can be hooked up with people looking for a better return on their monies. They should have a really good legal team on staff. It's too easy to get into trouble when you are coordinating investments for unsophisticated investors. There's a lot of idiots out there.
