Hello Vincent and congratulations on securing your license!

For value-add investments, securing the right type of financing that accounts for the property’s potential appreciation is key.

If I could re-frame, and put myself in your shoes, I would look for a money partner to help secure rehab properties. 

After evaluating the numbers, we negotiated a purchase price of $45,000, ensuring enough margin to cover renovations and still secure a solid profit.

Apparently investors were made aware of what the investment was, and the “security” behind the “notes”.  

You will realize the loss for tax purposes when you sell the security, which it sounds like will happen in 2025.

@Anne MusaIt's great that you're looking into small multifamily and STR/MTR investments to build wealth and secure your family’s future!

I thought it was securing funds FROM private lenders to cover deals for investors- make a deal and get a cut.
