Now, we're seeking private investors interested in earning impressive returns of 8% to 10% on their capital.

From my perspective I find the best deals by my personal interaction with others.

I haven’t come across that before personally so I was wondering if that’s a good thing or a red flag he’d be offering that?

The more established borrowers with a track record likely have their banking relationships in place so how to you earn their business?

I have a real estate portfolio with good amount of equity (most of the portfolio is free and clear), however my personal DTI ratio is too high and that's stopping me from tapping into it to settle some debts and buy more properties.

Does the Trustee if done in Texas needs to be a person or can it be a Wyoming LLC which as anonymity?

The more desperate a person is, the more likely they are to pay this fee.

If they have kids now you really don’t want to be the person that said no and then one gets hurt.

However, we don't know the names of any of these firms or companies, and before we delve into this we would like to gain some feedback or personal recommendations from those who have.  

Personally I would not put all my eggs in one basket, especially if I "fell into this position"
