If it says they don’t have to provide anything then that’s the agreementTypically agreements require at a minimum annual updatesThe good ones do monthly or quarterly depending on offering type So an update was provided - finally- but it still excluded crucial information the investors should have been updated about (in my opinion) considering there was a significant change made in the project that they are unaware of.

Kyle Zochert:Be very careful.In Texas, once a lien on property is filed, it is on file forever and part of the chain of title until it is released with a Release of Lien.You can research this yourself in the County records, and find a level of comfort depending on your experience with this.You can even buy someone else's opinion regarding whether or not there is a lien on the property.
