@Meena MallikFrom my experience, securing financing for commercial real estate involves understanding your options, such as conventional loans, commercial loans, private lenders, or partnerships.

That better life podcast has taught me that there are a lot of ways to get involved in investing.

You don't have to file "Trust" documents in order to hold a tenant security deposit in trust.

In the case of my 16 unit there were no realtors involved.

I just got done with my required annual commission update for 2024 (I know I’m a slacker, I waited until the very end of the year lol) and the teacher of the class said that a high percentage of the number of agents who had their licenses revoked in 2024 were the result of being involved in subject to transactions that went sideways.

It was a several million dollar commercial deal that was going sideways before we got involved and steadied the ship.

It's important that anyone reading your claims about BAM understand the risks involved in these investments and that it's possible if they send money in they will never get it back out.

They will also dictate the terms of the loan, how it's filed, qualifications, etc.However, if you mean PML as in your friends/family that have NO experience in real estate and just have money sitting around...then I would certainly to counsel you to lean on some type of mentor or other experienced investor in Houston on what to do. 

Though I would mix with antifreeze if the heat is off and your winters involve freezing.

From my understanding they filed for Chapter 11, that would protect them from any creditor action, any foreclosure, etc.
