I am a hard money lender and need advise if an unsecured loan I made through the Solo 401k defaults and is uncollectible are there tax write-offs as a result of the uncollected loan?

Why did the financing fall through?  

Be careful when you select entity types.A pass-through entity in the United States, such as an LLC, may not hold the same characteristics in Canada.What market are you looking to invest in?

So, you are working through 2 decision makers, not one.A Realtor can really provide you value in a transaction....especially your first one! 

It seems every market goes through a cycle -- unnoticed potential; early titillation as the potential becomes known; flood gates open and gold rush is on; property prices rise, revenues drop, regulations come in; and finally balance is found.

We find off market deals through out property management clients How did you finance this deal?

The property offered a balanced investment opportunity—enough to significantly enhance its value through renovations, yet manageable in scope and cost.

There are a few options(1)You can get connected with the larger wholesaler firms in the area (2) go through PCPAO site and skiptrace the buyers of similar properties as yours, (3) hunt down the agents involved in the sale of properties similar to yours or go to local REI meetings and pitch it to the investors there. 

This was labor and parts and I know the electrician personally so it would have cost more going through someone else.
