Hi @Gil Canfu definitely there are many places in DFW where you can invest in a good rental property.I am not sure where you are at, but if self managed you should start in cities with good proximity to where you live.All the corridor between Princeton to Saginaw has good deals but there are many others things to consider as I mentioned previously.

their website says they do equipment financing no mention of real estate financing. ???

There was no mention or remorse for past declarations, which were pretty set in stone per the loan offer and his communication.

Second, their website does not mention a single thing about COMPLETED projects.  

The city determines whether your investment can meet the three requirements mentioned above.

You mentioned that you are not a W-2, but that is not the only status of income producing individuals. 

This often leads to confusion because the term "trade or business" is mentioned, leading some to mistakenly believe that the entire business can be exchanged.

The reason is because the companies that back these assets, and some others, have a 1:1 between their tokens and the USD (I'm unfamiliar if EURS, THKD, and stables of other fiat offer 1:1).A possible scenario would be that you offer the seller to pay in a stable coin, like mentioned above.

Whoops sorry forgot to mention. 

Never pay an upfront fee.You didn’t mention your state but understand that with little exception, an NMLS registration is only required for consumer-purpose loans.
