In other words does issuing the investor a mortgage position on the property bypass these security registration requirements or at least make it more palatable?

For confidentiality, I will not post details on BP.Alternatively, although I have connections with many hard money companies nationally, I'd like recommendations from anyone with a positive experience with one of the national companies, so that I can find new sources.

I can evaluate whether I'm getting a good deal based on cash on cash returns, but I'd also like to at least have the pulse of what the equity position could look like.

Remember as an investor it is not the VOLUME and size of the deals you put together because many can be crap it is the QUALITY of the deals you do.I would rather spend a few months doing an awesome acquisition than buying up marginal to okay deals left and right.I have seen this happen on flips and long term holds.In both cases the investor did real well on one property and then started getting carried away.Pretty soon a couple of marginal deals starting to tank their long term portfolio into a neutral or negative position.Even on flips they made good on a few and then the next few went real bad and they were almost at square one again.You have to treat this business like a pawn shop.You will come across many sellers but few will accept your price and terms.So you have to keep going or come back to the seller until they get desperate enough to meet your terms.A classic tactic with a seller is when they will not accept your price and terms.Then a few months pass and they come back to you.Then if you have a couple deals on your plate you come from a position of power.You let them know you are involved with other projects now and to take this property on now you couldn't pay what you offered before and can now only do XX.There will always be another quality deal to be had but millions of marginal to okay deals to get stuck in for years and paralyze the growth and success of your real estate investment portfolio.

I turned “Find My iPhone” on so I know it knows where I’m at all times.Ideally, the app would automatically record my position and let me download and annotate periodically.
