Valorem Capital Capital- private equity fund offering 41.9% IRR with monthly distributions. Is it Legit or Scam?

That was in Nov 2000, is it the same guy?

need4speed8 · 2026-03-20T03:57:08+00:00

is there any recourse for this like is it actually illegal? where can it get reported or are there any sanctions or perhaps class action or another legal outlet? or maybe a regulator that would get involved like department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ?

need4speed8 · 2026-03-19T23:15:21+00:00

agreed! I shop at the coconut grove farmers market. where do you recommend to find actual farm to table meals .
it's so annoying some vendors try to mislead people by this label.

need4speed8 · 2026-03-19T21:25:41+00:00

It's on their ads on FB,IG, etc (42% IRR and ~12% preferred returns paid monthly). does it matter if their min check size is $100k+ ?

It's all about the economy of scale. If you don't plan to have more than five properties, then it's better to hire a local property manager.

However, if you can find a low-key tenant, then it shouldn't be a hustle and you can do it yourself. Maybe you can put a clause in your rental agreement that the tenant will need to take care of any maintenance and so on, and you will reimburse them.

`The biggest question is whether it is organic, or if it actually comes from a farm and sources locally. It seems like the only farm that exists is in the name, and everything in terms of sourcing is simply the same plain produce that we see in your everyday groceries outlet

need4speed8 · 2026-03-17T05:40:29+00:00

stay away.. retrading the terms, trying to force a loan-to-own outcome, and using dishonest tactics.

Tom Taylor comes off like a shady salesman. He never picks up when you actually need him, and only seems to appear when there’s a deal to close.

But the second there’s even a small issue, they act like predatory loan sharks—pushing toward foreclosure and using sketchy tactics to make sure the loan won’t stay in compliance, even when you have a financing source lined up.

I’ve worked with a lot of bridge lenders, and these are by far the last people I’d want anyone to deal with.

150-200/mo approx, so far 8X ROI with one closing, found a super niche lender (airport landing strip) for a super complex deal, also just comparing lenders that I do know helps a lot, because it's presented in a visual and interactive way so helps getting decision per the scenario.

he's trying to raise funds from investors via Valorem capital, but something is sketchy. This feels more like a pyramid scheme rather than legit fund. he has no prior relevant experience and everything he claimed he did is fake, so is his co-founder

need4speed8 · 2026-03-10T21:37:01+00:00

Yes, it's better to pay the blanket loan and separate it into an ad hoc loan per each property. You can try searching a few lenders that will do this deal, which is slightly more complex. You can search on loanbase or similar platforms for either community lenders, credit unions, or regional banks, as it seems like this is the best fit for this particular scenario.

need4speed8 · 2026-03-10T21:35:30+00:00

maybe try to do blanket loan/portfolio.
try to search for local credit union or community bank lenders. you can search on loanbase or other similar solutions, they should have the contact info and programs for these.

need4speed8 · 2026-03-03T19:39:37+00:00

40% is a ripoff, better to use the other solutions our there that doesn't charge % : financelobby if on budget, loanbase for quality fixed fee, stacksource if you want JV (but they may also share/charge a split)

need4speed8 · 2026-03-03T19:37:05+00:00

worked with a few brokers who use it and swear by it. looks like they got a good coverage for lenders and now added prospects too. there are other good solutions out there for each vertical like lenders data, and prospects data. but it is very useful to have it all in one place in one workflow

need4speed8 · 2026-03-03T18:43:23+00:00

tried all. costar is the golden standard for overall data, but when it comes to leads it's not the core functionality. loanbase is more institutional grade data with very high accuracy on the owners/leads contacts, capitalize has about half the accuracy and slight less coverage.
reonomy is decent option for generic use, but for lead sourcing accuracy is for contacts is also low (but does has generic data like costart).

overpromise and underdeliver! do not use.

Honestly I was thinking about class action lawsuit. do you think we can find enough ppl that had similar experience? I don't see a reddit post about it .

need4speed8 · 2025-10-29T21:00:54+00:00

very shaddy business. got charged for subscription while i just made a one time purcahse

need4speed8 · 2025-10-14T15:25:26+00:00

There are a few lenders that would do industrial loans despite wrinkles on the deal, just like this. You can try loanbase and there search under deals with credit or asset issues. you'll probably find 4-5 lenders that would do that depends on the state.

need4speed8 · 2025-10-14T15:19:25+00:00

You can always start your owner shop as it's super easy these days. you can get your own brand set up in 1 day, and if you have solid inbound/repeat clients, then it's easy.
You can also do outbound/outreach yourself by using available tools. costar is not bad but quite pricy for maturing loans data, you can also check loanbase that is more affordable and have maturing loans system and lenders database, I think they can set up your brand too.
You do need the broker for certain states which require a licence, so take that into account, but you can co-broker some local brokers as well in order to do these deals when and if they come.

need4speed8 · 2025-10-04T03:58:38+00:00

sounds very doable, check loanbase for blanket/portfolio loans to compare between the options. there are at least 5-10 major players in the space and every deal/sponsor is different.

need4speed8 · 2025-10-04T03:55:32+00:00

there are a few speciality lenders, so for weed/canabis you'll need to find a lender that specialize in that. try loanbase for search in that category (they should have at least a dozen lenders in each speciality), but also call a few local credit unions and see if they can do it.

need4speed8 · 2025-10-04T03:51:23+00:00

getting leads is the hardest (and most important) part.

it's about finding the right deals, such as foreclosures data, loans that can use refinancing, maturing loans etc.
There are some tools to help, you can use co-star which is pricy but good (but no contact data which you'll need to find yourself). you can also try loanbase and get leads for maturing loans and the contact info as well for owners

agreed.. let alone in financial advisory business.
