I moved to Florida in 2017 and have been involved in 45+ flips and currently manage over 36 units throughout Tampa Bay.

Its certainly not "guaranteed return" - thats a word to always stay away from in real estate (in finance or even investing in general)high level - its because HMLs are going to be secured by the real estate, meaning in event of default, the lender can get the property to be made whole - somewhat trust is involved, but thats the main mechanism behind it
