Risk Disclosure Statement

For Accredited Investors – SimpleNotes.net

Investing in real estate notes involves risk. By reviewing or participating in any investment opportunities offered through SimpleNotes.net, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these risks. The information presented on this website is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security. Investments are available only to accredited investors who are financially sophisticated and capable of evaluating and bearing the economic risks of such investments.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice. All investors should conduct their own independent analysis and consult with their professional advisors before making any investment decision.

Key Risk Factors

Below are the primary risks associated with purchasing or investing in real estate-secured notes, including performing notes, non-performing notes, and seller-financed notes. These risks are not exhaustive. Additional risks may apply based on property type, borrower profile, local market conditions, or transaction structure.

1. Real Estate Market Risk

The value of the underlying property securing a note may fluctuate due to changing market conditions, economic cycles, local demand, supply shifts, interest rate changes, or neighborhood-level events. Declines in property value may reduce the equity protecting the note, increase borrower default risk, or negatively impact recovery in the event of foreclosure.

2. Borrower Default Risk

Borrowers may fail to make payments on time or may stop paying altogether. Default can result in missed income, legal proceedings, foreclosure costs, property deterioration, or extended timelines for recovery. Even well-qualified borrowers may experience job loss, health issues, financial hardship, or other unexpected events.

3. Property Condition Risk

The physical condition of the property affects both the borrower's willingness to pay and the note's collateral value. Deferred maintenance, hidden damage, major system failures, or environmental hazards may reduce recovery value if foreclosure becomes necessary. An investor may receive the property back in poor or deteriorated condition.

4. Liquidity Risk

Notes are generally considered illiquid investments. There is no guarantee that a note can be sold quickly or at a desired price. A discount may be required to sell a note on the secondary market, or it may remain unsold for an extended period. Investors should expect to hold notes for their full duration.

5. Foreclosure Delay Risk

If a borrower defaults, the foreclosure process may be lengthy, costly, and unpredictable. Court schedules, legal extensions, bankruptcy filings, borrower disputes, or state-specific timelines may significantly delay resolution. During this period, investors may receive no payments.

6. Bankruptcy Risk

Borrower bankruptcy can significantly delay or reduce investor recovery. Bankruptcy courts may impose automatic stays, repayment plans, reduced terms, or revised payment schedules. Recovery may take months or years, and investors may receive less than the full amount owed.

7. Loan Servicing Risk

Professional loan servicers play a key role in processing payments, maintaining records, handling escrow, communicating with borrowers, and managing defaults. Servicer errors, delays, misapplied payments, regulatory non-compliance, or operational failures can negatively impact investment performance.

8. Title & Lien Priority Risk

Defects in title, unreleased liens, recording errors, judgments, or other clouds on title can impair an investor's security interest. If issues are not properly addressed, an investor may lose priority position or face legal challenges. Title insurance may not cover all defects, and remediation may be costly or time-consuming.

9. Regulatory & Compliance Risk

Federal and state laws governing real estate lending, consumer protection, foreclosure, and investor advertising can change. Changes in regulations may alter timelines, costs, or procedures and may increase compliance responsibilities.

10. No Guarantee of Returns

All financial projections, yields, examples, and future performance statements are illustrative only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. No yield, income stream, payment schedule, or outcome is guaranteed.
