My challenge is that the equity is siloed in a high number of properties which complicates our ability to draw against it and leverage that for operational and investment purposes.Do you all know of banks willing to work with investors and able to underwrite at the portfolio level, rather than having to apply for and open HELOCs on a per-property basis?

That's one reason I hang out on BP - most people in my life can't appreciate the level of work it took to get to this level.

The property deteriorated so much after 3 years of neglect and vandalism and squatters that Dallas County ordered a “tear down” order and leveled and cleared the property, slapping on a municipal lean.  

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

Regarding property management, utilizing local property managers can save you time, and using PropStream effectively for filtering properties by distress level and location will certainly help with finding stronger deals.

And yes, over leveraging a Subto and using "gator" lenders is not only bad practice, but it's going to lead to law suits.He is wrong on so many levels that I have posted extensively on it and it gets boring.

It's your preference really and usually comes down to your tolerance level for the nuances that accompany each one.   

Many investors choose a profit-sharing model for true equity partners, often splitting profits 50/50 or based on the level of their contribution to the deal, but ensure everything is clearly defined in writing to avoid misunderstanding/miscommunication. 

Crypto is reaching a feverish level and they need new customers to feed the frenzy.

I am really thinking about how I can level up and increase my impact on society and have that translate into active income.cheers yall!
