What is a real-estate-backed private lending note?
It's a fixed-rate loan you fund that is secured by a specific Central Ohio property. A developer uses the capital to renovate or develop that property and repays your principal plus interest when the project sells or refinances. Your note is backed by a first-position mortgage on the real estate.
