Taxes are private, 1099 are private.  

I used a private lendor to fund the re-hab (cash) and owner financed the purchase price (minus down payment) I have a bank account linked to Stessa and I see the cash deposit in the transaction tab. 

As noted, if your options are Reg D, private offering vs fully registered public offering, even if you are talking Pink Sheet (OTC) stocks, you have public filing costs, annual audit requirements, and likely more on-going expenses that have to be covered by the property(s) owned by the offering.  

., you will come out on top just take a bit longer so you need to underwrite that in mind.If the former, I would do a combination of fixed income, private lending, and note buying and trade the arb.

I'm presently a facilities engineer by trade, who does some construction and maintenance for landlords on the side, hoping to get back into the private real estate game.

I would have a house already but that is used as rental and I bought it using private lenders.

having been around this bizz for decades now on the private lending side I will tell you many to most private lenders started in the mom and pop rental bizz tire of it and switch to be the bank.. and right now wih rates up there return would be quite handsome .. but you do need to use caution..

with private and HML  the deal is done all at once.. 

Shooting you a private message in a few. 

I also invest in other assets such as stocks, and private companies as well.
