They are a private company so you will never see the financials and have no idea how strong or weak that actual warranty really is.As to the funds I mention, yes there are a few, some right in your neighborhood that lend to performing borrowers, have also paid consistent monthly returns, all 1st trust deeds, shorter lockup, etc. 

Since September communications have been weak at best though. 

Weak agents are washing out of the industry.

Maybe renovation costs get blundered so the spread is too weak, but the appreciation and refi potential is there.

But appreciation is generally very weak in areas you can get better than the 1% rule.

But I look weak on paper.

Tenants typically stay that long because (a) the rents are way below market and they can't give up a good deal, or (b) they are bad tenants who enjoy the freedom of living under a weak landlord.

Weak brands can just change name and logo and start over, and most people wouldn’t know the difference.

And I thought it was rather weak to begin with. 

My biggest fear or weaknesses will be trusting lenders, trusting Real Estate Agents, and trusting contractors.
