However, this is a totally new space to me- Any advice for how to go about looking for a lawyer who works with individual investors and won't break the bank?

Partnering with others can reduce risk and access better deals.

Here, once you have an account and a bit of lending experience, you can access the online, fill-in-the-blank templates to create your own set of documents. 

We have done this for over a year now and this strategy has gone really well.We are very experienced in the STR space and understand that getting bookings is multi-faceted (ie. listing photos, reviews, amenities, PRICING, description, seasonality, etc).

Real- Estate  is a lot tougher game now because of technology now allowing buyers, sellers to access the market using the internet without using agents but  you do have hot areas that can support  more bodies .

So the benefit to investing in a note fund is that with no additional exposure, investors get access to a consistent return with less liability.Best,Dave

Would love to hear about what you're up too in that space!

My somewhat unique situation is that I have low reported income due to the structure of my investment accounts, yet I have access to meaningful capital.

There’s something incredibly rewarding about creating spaces that positively impact people’s lives.  

And any time a journalist or anyone else claims to know, the first question I have for them is: "If you say that you have access to this accurate crystal ball, then why aren't YOU a billionaire?!"
