		Pooled funds are allowed to charge their expenses from operations against the fund assets, and the trust indenture provides for the sponsor, or trustee, to hire outside agents to perform certain tasks, such as custody and unit record-keeping.

	Investing and Investors
		Pooled investments are useful for all-cash property purchases, such as foreclosures, pre-foreclosures, or for situations where the seller, or other non-institutional lender, carries back the loan.
		Pooled investments are usually short-term—less than 12 months from purchase to sale of the property.
		If the investment is for a multi-unit property larger than 5 units, the property becomes the primary qualifier for the loan and each investor must pre-qualify to demonstrate ability to pay the down payment, financial stability, and a good credit history.
