We have one on our home and it has been instrumental in helping with our 1st flip.

The OP has options up to and including contacting financial attorneys and instruments regulators such as the SEC.

8/14 update: Steven Yoak is not a part of this initial post: he has been instrumental and amazing since I’ve started working with him.

Portfolio = Income derived from financial instruments like dividends (including REITs), interest, royalties, and capital gains.Mostly income w/out loss potential, and favorable tax rates.Cap losses may offset cap gains w up to $3,000 loss.

These instruments aren’t meant to reduce taxes.

Any defects in his instrument of title will come out.

These records help verify ownership, track legal claims related to real estate and legal transactions.Below is a table I've put together on these Document types (or some counties call them instruments) which get recorded daily.

Eric,, I think why people go for the fund model is the idea that they are spreading their money into multiple notes being held by the company.. while in theory this is great but as you noted you don't really have any security compared to being the beneficiary of the debt instrument IE debt is in your name. 

Incidentally I did a little reading on you and what you do, I realize that you could be just the person I have look for to work with, Learning about creating Notes, for the real estate we buy and own, is the next process of to what we want to do, how could you be instrumental in that process?

Our strategy has been the latter and that's been instrumental in helping us scale our portfolio.
