That doesn't seem right about having to chase your money - but would need a lot more info to provide a better opinion. also are you investing in one property and is your name secured or you giving an unsecured loan? 

However, the journey has been anything but smooth, and we are now at a critical crossroads.Despite securing approval for our 42 townhouses, the soaring construction costs have made the project financially unfeasible.

Properties are sitting on market for a bit longer now that supply is slowly creeping back up. 50 days isn't too terrible compared to the greater PHX area. 

It saved me when things got real (hello, crazy boyfriend with trust issues).Security Deposit: Non-NegotiableOne full month of rent as a security deposit (at the very least!)

If a single-family owner-occupied property is worth $400,000 - I wouldn't invest more than $280,000 (70%) in a note secured by the property.ITV takes priority over desired yield - so even if the note discounts to $350,000 based on desired yield, the investor still won't go beyond their maximum ITV. 

They are even working on getting me the evicted tenant's security deposit, the missing JANUARY rent since the place is still empty, and covering the cost of my own manager re-listing the property.

This includes preparing the property for renters, pricing it right, marketing, application screening, collecting rent, dealing with unpaid rent and other lease violations, security deposit disposition, inspections, and so much more.

Safeguard reached out to me when I was in my mid 60s, and offered lending notes secured by real estate. 

Talk with some securities attorneys, brokers, lenders.
