@Denise CarringerMy preference is to go local - some community banks offer this type of service or local escrow companies, which is what I found, because they offer a higher level of service than most national.

However, upon closer inspection, several red flags became apparent:Lack of Transparency: Despite claims of being a Georgia corporation, a search in the State of Georgia Secretary of State’s Division of Corporations database revealed no record of the company.

Eric,, I think why people go for the fund model is the idea that they are spreading their money into multiple notes being held by the company.. while in theory this is great but as you noted you don't really have any security compared to being the beneficiary of the debt instrument IE debt is in your name. 

You really need to know what you're doing or have a strong management company in place that does.

U want to google insurance companies who place their clients that have had fires etc.thats what I do for the last 5 years.. top quality tenants no need for PM .. backed by insurance.my unit normal rent about 2k we get double that.. ours is  townhouse Gated prime area of Summerlin.. not all areas are great in Vegas the closer to the strip the grungier it gets.

I’ve been in the real estate game for a while, and as the CFO of [Your Company Name], I usually stick to what we know best: developing and managing Class B multifamily projects—20-50 unit properties in rural southeast US, like Georgia or Alabama.

In fact, you insisted that house was turnkey and that your "preferred" management company was suggesting unnecessary repairs (I did walk the house in person and they were 100% necessary).And yes, you did walk the property on a video chat with me, but what I found working with you is that I have to ask A LOT of questions because you are not forthcoming.

My company scans and analyzes thousands of properties a day and I can say there are definitely better markets than others!

Do you have a preferred type of property and price range you're looking for in general (knowing the costs can be different based on they market)?
