The Strength
The collateral is real. The balance sheet is real. The contractor is verified.
Eleven-property portfolio — roughly $86M in value against $36M of debt across the sponsor's holdings.
Bothof Brothers — 30+ years, sixteen comparable Rancho Santa Fe and coastal estate projects on record.
Sponsor capital already deployed into the renovation against ~$13.7M invoiced. Real skin in the game.
The One Crack
A matured note and a $2.7M spread.
The Platinum note at 16% matured five weeks ago. The request contemplates $1.5M to finish — the ledger shows $4.2M in open trade balances. That spread is the item a family office prices first. Presented by us, it is leverage. Discovered by them, it is a decline. Disclosure closes deals.

- Current as-is appraisal
- Construction invoice ledger
