Frequently Asked Questions
Explore diverse and rewarding investment opportunities tailored to your goals and risk appetite.
Here are some of the most common questions we receive from prospective investors.
What makes MH Notes investments different from traditional real estate?
Unlike traditional real estate, many of our opportunities are asset-backed and structured to generate income without requiring active management.
This allows investors to participate in real estate-related deals without dealing with tenants, maintenance, or day-to-day operations.
What are the risks?
All investments carry risk, including the potential loss of capital.
Risks vary depending on the type of opportunity, market conditions, and borrower performance.
We focus on structuring deals with strong underlying assets, but no outcome can ever be guaranteed. Of course we try to reduce the risks the more is possible, and that’s why we like to have the investors determine how risky the investment is.
Is my money pooled with other investors?
No.
GION does not pool or manage investor funds.
Each investment is structured individually, and investors participate directly in specific opportunities.
What’s the minimum to invest?
Most investments in MH notes range between $40,000 and $80,000.
However, in certain cases we can structure opportunities starting from as low as $5,000, depending on availability and risk profile.
Can I have more than one investment?
Absolutely, once you have an active membership you can participate in as many deals you want, even none if you’re not ready yet.
I got into a MH note deal, but I changed my mind and I want my money back.
Unfortunately we cannot provide that option. When the deal is funded and you become the Lien Holder, all we can do is try to facilitate the sale of your financial interest. But we can’t guarantee timing, price or even if it will happen.
What other types of investments do you offer?
In addition to manufactured housing notes, GION provides access to a variety of investment opportunities depending on availability.
These may include real estate transactions, business-related ventures, and other asset-backed deals.
Each opportunity is evaluated individually and shared with members based on fit and timing.
How do I receive returns?
Returns depend on the specific investment structure.
In the case of MH Notes, investors receive monthly payments over time, the transfer is typically done via Zelle.
Can I invest through an LLC or entity?
In many cases, yes. Investments can often be structured through an LLC or other entity, depending on the opportunity.
This can provide flexibility for organization, liability, or tax considerations.
We recommend discussing your specific setup so we can align the structure accordingly.
How do I get started?
The first step is a short phone call where we understand your goals, risk tolerance, and timeline.
From there, we can determine if there’s a good fit and walk you through the membership process.
Can I participate in a deal with my spouse?
Short Answer: Yes.
Many investors choose to participate jointly with a spouse or partner.
You might need to form a structure that will have shared ownership, depending on your preference and the specifics of the investment.
We can review the best approach during the on-boarding process.
Do I have to keep a full accounting system for every investment?
No. You are not required to maintain detailed accounting for each individual investment.
However, as with any financial activity, it’s recommended to keep basic records for your own tracking and for tax reporting purposes.
We provide clear documentation for each opportunity to help simplify this process.
Why isn’t everyone doing this?
Opportunities like these are not typically advertised to the general public and often rely on specialized knowledge, relationships, and access to specific markets.
Additionally, many investors are more familiar with traditional options like stocks or real estate and may not explore alternative structures.
Our goal is to make these types of opportunities more accessible while maintaining a disciplined approach to risk.
How do you make money?
We are compensated through structured participation in the opportunities we present, which may include fees or direct involvement in the deal.
Our incentives are aligned with the success of the investment, meaning we benefit when the deal performs as expected.
What happens if something goes wrong?
If a deal does not perform as expected, outcomes will depend on the structure of the specific investment.
In many cases, because investments are asset-backed, there may be options to recover value through the underlying collateral.
However, timelines and results cannot be guaranteed, and investors should always consider the possibility of loss.
How much involvement is required from me?
Most opportunities are structured to require minimal day-to-day involvement from investors.
Once you participate in a deal, the operational aspects are typically handled as part of the investment structure.
Your level of involvement can vary depending on the opportunity and your preferences.
How do I know if this is right for me?
The best way to determine fit is through a simple conversation.
Every investor has different goals, timelines, and risk tolerance, and not every opportunity is suitable for everyone.
We take a straightforward approach to help you decide whether this aligns with what you’re looking for.
Still unsure?
That’s completely normal. The best way to get clarity is to have a quick conversation.
