Quote from @Dominic Mazzarella: I would ask this, when raising capital for a real estate syndication, what strategies have you found most effective for building trust and credibility with first-time passive investors?

(do not trust me to build the house, but I do know how to qualify you FOR the house.)

A revocable trust offers excellent estate planning benefits but provides limited liability protection and no tax advantages, while irrevocable trusts provide stronger protection but less flexibility.

There is the trust, and the trust has a continuity of control plan.

If you want to be generating leads from a website, SEO will help with credibility and long term visibility, and an attractive website will also help with building credibility and trust too.

Did your borrowers mention securing your investment with a recorded mortgage or deed of trust, personal guarantees, lender’s title insurance, or anything else?

Please consider this if you move forward.Additionally, you need to have a broker on payroll in illinois and three separate bank accounts with the security deposit trust account located in illinois.

But even then, seller financing is rarely substantially better than another investment they could make (including trust deed lending, which will often be at a higher rate than seller financing)In my experience, the owners who find owner financing advantageous are at the ends of their careers and are not interested in looking for another investment (other than the usual retirement funding sorts.)
