Ideally, I’d like to become so much of value that I’d be paid for my help/ services.

Say you position in great locations where the experience is highly sought and highly valued with limited offerings.

Thanks for all of those that provided constructive feedback.

The borrower MUST receive something of value for the deed in lieu, agreeing not to foreclose immediately and giving the borrower time to reinstate, or providing a modification, is that something of value.I need to clarify that these notes are commercial and investment property, so do not have to comply with residential lending requirements.With a deed in lieu there is no foreclosure, judicial or non judicial.  

You will not need to join CAR/NAR and I offer super high fee splits.  

To succeed, focus on properties in high-demand neighborhoods like Pecan Grove or Aliana, and ensure your cash flow analysis accounts for high property taxes, potential HOA restrictions, and flood insurance costs.

Most will not do 100% loan-to-value so plan on something less than that for the loan amount.2.

Some hard money lenders lend at pretty high LTVs, leaving little equity buffer to protect your principal.

I am a long-term investor, but I also provide services to long-term investors, so my advice is biased toward that option.  

I interpretttev @Alan Asriants statement different than you but agree it is not clear   He could be indicating pools, basements, sunrooms do not provide a means for an extra tenant.
