Private Investor Options - Mortgage Note vs JV/Trust

[Kalonji Mitchell]

We have began to evolve our business model from brokering hard money loans (and some private money loans) to using our connections and capital partners to acquire property. Being in the space for years, we've developed a viable exit strategy for our capital partners in order mitigate their risks. One question I have in determined the best structure for funding our deals is whether we fund our deals utilizing a mortgage/promissory note to secure our capital partners investment or if we should facilitate a Joint Venture and put the property in a Trust. What are some of the pros and cons of each, from a private investor's perspective?

Thanks
