If you conclude the leverage is so good that everyone comes out ahead that's fine but if you are only able to originate hard money debt that may be viewed as a red flag by investors who will question your experience and borrowing strength.

If the property breaks even, or operates in the red currently, it will only operate deeper in the negative (unless you find a strong ROI like creating more bedrooms, convert a non living space to living space, etc) with another loan. 

Instead it looks like a sales pitch that is targeted to unsophisticated investors who are new to the space.If that's actually the situation here than these deals generally have multiple things I can't stomach and is an immediate red flag for me.2) AAA Storage growth: At one point I was interested in this sponsor because of the claimed full real estate cycle track record with little to no money lost.
