I did pledge assets to cross collateralize.

Over the years, Marvel started creating spin-off stories and ridiculous cross-overs and alternate universes.

Regardless the odds of redemption are so low that it is worth taking the shot, just dot your I's and cross your T's and document everything well with before, during and after pics.Good luck.

@Michael MattinglyRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

The only way I thought I could protect myself better in this situation if I were to decide to move forward would be to cross collateralize by taking a first lien on a separate property of the borrower.

I personally am more restrained in calling someone sensitive, thin skinned, etc than Jonathan but you have crossed the line to were I share his belief.

For me I use; 2nd lien on target property or cross collateral property deed of trustJV agreementPromissory NotePersonal GuaranteeMay be over kill, but I am fine with it.Also if you ever foreclose on a property that has enough equity to cover your loan I assume the 1st lien gets paid and then the rest would go to the 2nd position or is that not correct?
