I believe that if it is structured like a typical hard money deal, then yes.Note - often, I believe that the portal will set up an entity for the transaction, of which the participants get an equity cut.

Alb My default is to wholesale SFR properties but I do other types of transactions as well. 

I have done a few transactions like that personally in both the residential space but primarily in the self storage space.

I have been presented with  an off market deal in the Clinton Hill/ Bed Stuy border in Brooklyn

Problem is, my broker (also my best friend), specializes in residential and has simply thrown the suite up on loopnet ONLY fielding phones calls with his fingers crossed.  

I know its best to ask people in my locale, real estate agents, lawyers, or other investors, I just thought I'd throw it in the forums as well and cross check any references I may get.

For deal flow, we operate on both internal deal-flow with support from talented external Transaction Sourcing Specialists. 

I have investments in the Chicago area, Indiana side of the border though.

I would start by calling local realtors and cross referencing on zillow.com and trulia.com. 

If the grantee is to sell later on, the note could be paid off and the proceeds donated.I'm not concerned at all about your "advertising" free, the intent is not to profit from the transaction.
