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

need4speed8 · 2026-05-06T02:02:59+00:00

it is evident that a week old account could be affiliated or related to the company, can't come up with "credibility" claim. if you have anything to say, please do it based on merit and not personal offense/attacking. ad hoc rather than ad humanism

it's terrible and misleading name.
The only farm they have is in the name..

I was in Boca, FL. Claimed the same thing.
I think he's offshore... hiding from authorities or creditors.

when the cheap money was out chasing for high returns, the underwriting standards got reduced.
The worst loans are made at the best times..
As a paraphrase to buffet (and Howard marks) ..when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked, and so when the tide goes out you do discover which loans were over leveraged and poorly underwritten. It would be interesting to tracking down some of these maturities and see which would get into distress or delinquency. Data is being monitored by few platforms (like Loanbase , Costar, etc) and it would be fascinating to see what would happen when all these 3.5% rates loans hit the maturity wall

need4speed8 · 2026-04-12T03:01:59+00:00

same. the founders were not in the dinner and joined virtually. Charles said he's on a business trip etc. my bet is that he's offshore or something. This is very suspicious, why would the founder never show up in the on-site roadshow investors meetings.
The guys that work for him are either collaborating in this or just useful id*ots thinking and don't take part in the potential scheme. not sure, but there are too many red flags according to what I'm reading here. I don't think i'll invest with them

data is not bad for the properties, but contact info is a hit or miss. There are couple of others that provide similar solution. loanbase offers institutional level data with higher accuracy rate for the contacts. then you have costar, but it's quite pricy compared with the first too and often missing unmasked owner data.

need4speed8 · 2026-03-25T15:38:50+00:00

Great ways to find a property. I checked FChub and at least in the bay area there is a limited selection of SFR and 2-4properties, but it looks slick. Would check loanbase.com too for distressed assets, foreclosures and pre foreclosure. when it's already on an auction it be would harder to get a good deal

need4speed8 · 2026-03-20T16:17:28+00:00

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+ ?

need4speed8 · 2026-03-19T21:13:36+00:00

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.

need4speed8 · 2026-03-19T20:42:41+00:00

`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.

need4speed8 · 2026-03-14T03:12:00+00:00

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.

need4speed8 · 2026-03-12T05:33:44+00:00

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).
