We have used them as our back-end reporting layer for 10 years.You would also be wise to confer with a tax attorney.  

Okay, all drama aside I'm a security contractor over in the Middle East providing force protection for an American/Saudi defense cooperation contract...thing.

Now, investors in whole loans will benefit from a number of the restrictions and protections that previously applied only to investors in fractionalized loans, AND the same requirements (1 and 2 above) apply to whole loan investments.I'm attending a conference soon, where extensive coverage of the topic will be provided.I'm working with some attorneys and other trust deed investment providers to come up with procedures to fulfill the requirements, especially the more challenging # 2 above.I think investments in California trust deeds will now be somewhat safer as a result of this.
