Private lenders are facing financial losses from'subject-to' real estate deals, which often leave the buyer and seller responsible for the loss of their investments. The News4JAX I-TEAM is investigating these deals, where individuals provide short-term loans for property deals in exchange for higher returns. Some investors claim they were promised high returns, but their investments suddenly disappeared. Tinku Saha, a private lender who invested in real estate with BG Ventures Investment Real Estate, said she lost nearly $70,000 after working with the company. She initially doubted the business model involved sub-to deals, but decided to participate after seeing other other investors participate. The I-TeAM has previously reported that homeowners who entered into subject-to agreements withBG Ventures have faced missed mortgage payments, foreclosure filings and credit damage.
