My first investment was a very bad… My first investment was a very bad experience. The borrower abandoned the project, it took nearly a year for the project to go through the foreclosure process. When it finally sold, there were massive legal and 'financing' charges. It felt like Patchofland still made money through all the fees and left the investor hung out to dry. I lost over 50%.

Communication was great from the start… Communication was great from the start with Mark Himmel and then with Dong the loan processor, they were always available. The only drawbacks was I felt like I was being required to submit too many non required documents to words the end of the process, but part of it has to do with my contractors not able to give me scope of work in a timely manner. However the end result was great and saved more than a $1000 in closing costs by closing with Patch of land. Yes I highly recommend them.

Patch of Land was my worst investment… Patch of Land was my worst investment ever. I invested in a handful of projects starting the end of 2016 through the first half of 2017. I put down 5K per project, finding their 11% return quite attractive. POL had excellent reviews up to 2016. But things went downhill pretty quickly and they never got their act together, even through the hot market when work-from-home became the trend during the pandemic. I am still waiting for the return of my principal (or at least partial return) in at least 2 projects. I hope that the Cloverhill, which acquired the company in July 2021 would do the honorable thing to investors but I have yet to hear from them.

I have been an investor in about 8… I have been an investor in about 8 deals at this point. While the returns have been sufficient, the corporate communication has been abysmal. The last deal I invested in went into default. It seems to have ultimately been resolved, though I am still waiting to get paid, but the process was painful. These guys totally missed the boat on investor communication. Failed email and voice mail responses and completely left me in the dark on a problemed loan. They have lost my confidence and I will invest elsewhere.

Borrowers beware!! Shady operation Joe the loan officer reached out to Me and we discussed my situation. I have 4 properties that I kept informing him were around $50k each for a total value of $200k. All rented and cash flowing 20%+. (Not just on paper like these other “borrowers” Who continue to default on this shady lender, but in reality). I have a 780 credit score and a long track record in the flipping, rental and overall RE business. Joe mentioned that “POL wants my business” and based on my Credit, my track record, and the underlying fact that i own a business which is a property management company with 5+ employees, over $1 AUM, Including our own assets, I could get all the funding I need as long as I’m under 85% LTV. They took $2200 for initial fees and disappeared, only to show up one night in my inbox at 11:30 pm after I bombarded them with emails Trying to get simple answers: “Hi, sorry we tried everything but can’t fund your loan” Almost comical, if it wasn’t for the complete waste of time, credit inquiry and a $2200 loss. Hey Joe, unlike you, I am not desperate to close a deal. I have a 780 credit score. I have about half a million $$ in assets funded outright by my own equity. I have a long track record of successfully entering/exiting real estate over the last 4 years with substantial gains and I have a Business finance degree. They are looking to earn revenue by collecting initial fees and then they disappear. Joke of a company. Joe is a joke of a loan officer and I’m gonna go out on a limb Here and assume He and the CEO are the same exact person. Congrats you played yourselves
