Once you're actually looking to buy, aim to get a property with only cosmetic issues, in a decent area that doesn't have bad tenants.

Based upon the dates in the pattern, this “lien” probably fell in the “gap” between commitment date and closing date. 

one BIG problem that we've seen from one HML to another HML is that during bankruptcy proceeding , some of the HML guy can perform the job by chasing all entity involved, while some other fund just give up and write-off the loan, so it's more complicated.For each fund, best thing is to consult previous LP investor that has already invested in the fund, and they expert enough to understand the situation and the actual capability of the HML guy.lot of HML aso these days , got trouble due to mass redemption from investor.

Just make sure it's actually not what you want....if you put another $10k into it would it then be perfect?

There was no actual permit pulled, I think he was trying to get out of pulling anything till I asked.

Provide them with a list of properties that you have flipped in the past including dates, addresses, amounts, outcomes, etc.

If you aren't at least getting interest that matches inflation, you're not actually getting 100k, but rather slightly less. 

You can also expect that you will have a handful of paperwork to complete and receiving your 1st payment could take a month, as they have to enter you into the system and likely have set pay out dates.

Quote from @Alex Clark: Saw someone saying they invest in Bali, Indonesia and made me wonder where people buy out of the country and how the process is like.I actually have a friend did that just that.

@Chad Price, I actually use Farm Bureau.
