Raymond Braun: Truly Passive Investing

Truly Passive Investing

R. E. Capital, LLC was founded by Mitch Stephen and partner Raymond Braun. Collectively they have purchased and sold over 1,500 houses in the San Antonio, TX area since 1996. They have purchased a very large portion of these properties with private funds loaned to them by private individuals just like YOU. The premise is very simple: You loan them money for a fair interest rate and you get 1st Lien Rights on a property valued at least 35% more than you loaned; you either get paid that interest rate or you get the collateral (the property) that you loaned against. That being said, R. E. Capital, Mitch Stephen and Raymond Braun have never given a property back in instead of making payments. It is a very unique and favorable situation for both parties.

What makes our proposition work for them, and for YOU, is that the collateral property is worth at least $35% more than what YOU loan to them at the time of the loan. In most cases, the property is worth MORE than 35% of what they loan. This is NOT new to them. They know what to do if they have to take properties back…YOU just receive payments.
