My response is not political in nature...I'm very interested in what DOGE can accomplish. 

Given your focus on equity and scaling for future development, targeting properties where you can force appreciation through value add renovations seems like a natural fit.

And of course it has worked incredibly well on the money raising side.. what I see happening is a very natural progression with someone who has the visibility and popularity as Brandon.. it takes a huge support staff and fulfillment team to create what we are seeing.I think you are on to something.I think Brandon's role is not necessarily to find the deal or to manage the deal.

The exact steps depend on the nature of the defaulted debts and on your local laws.State income tax planning.

Investors are angry Capella earned over $100K in origination fees on that deal and claim Capella did not do adequate due diligence, disclose conflicts of interest, and acted in their borrowers interest and not the investors interest.I know others who invested in a problem Capella loan for a golf course with water rights and multiple home lots.

You can - 1) establish a trust for asset protection, 2) utilize the Homestead Exemption for property protection, 3) consider tenancy by the entirety for marital property (this might just be applicable to California, my home state)4) make sure you have adequate liability insurance for additional protection, 5) think about forming a business entity to shield assets, 6) and have proper estate planning for asset distribution.Seek tax and legal advice from experts in your state.

However, that is the nature of rules of thumb.

It's just the nature of the business.

If you have a regarded tax entity, e.g. partnership, S Corp, C Corp, you need complete financials -- P&L and balance sheet to adequately prepare the tax returns and answer tax related questions. 

But that is also in the very nature of real estate, it is long-term.
