Investment Risks
LENDING THROUGH CREATIVEFINANCE.APP INVOLVES RISK OF LOSS. YOU SHOULD ONLY LEND MONEY YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE.
Principal Risk
There is no guarantee that borrowers will repay their loans. If a borrower defaults, you may lose some or all of the principal amount you lent. Recovery of funds from defaulted loans may be limited, time-consuming, or impossible.
Interest/Return Risk
The returns displayed on borrower listings represent the borrower's proposed repayment terms, not guaranteed returns. Actual returns depend entirely on whether the borrower repays as agreed. We make no representations about expected returns or yields.
Illiquidity Risk
Once you commit funds to a loan, those funds are locked until the loan matures or is repaid. There is no secondary market for loans made through our platform. You cannot sell or transfer your loan position before maturity.
Borrower Default Risk
Borrowers may default on their obligations for various reasons, including:
- Failure of the underlying real estate transaction
- Economic hardship or business failure
- Fraud or misrepresentation
- Inability to refinance or sell the property
- Market conditions affecting property values
Real Estate Market Risk
Loans on our platform are typically secured by or related to real estate transactions. Real estate markets can decline in value, properties may not sell as expected, and economic conditions can affect borrowers' ability to complete their deals.
Platform Risk
While we implement security measures and work with banking partners, there are risks including:
- Technical failures or service interruptions
- Cybersecurity incidents
- Changes to our business operations
- Regulatory changes affecting our ability to operate
No Guarantees or Warranties
CreativeFinance.app makes no guarantees regarding:
- The accuracy of information provided by borrowers
- The likelihood of loan repayment
- The value or validity of any collateral
- The success of any real estate transaction
- Any particular rate of return on loans
- The creditworthiness of any borrower
- The enforceability of loan documents in any jurisdiction
While we provide AI-powered deal analysis and risk assessments, these tools are for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for lending decisions. You must conduct your own due diligence.
Regulatory Information
State Licensing
Peer-to-peer lending may be subject to state-specific regulations. Users are responsible for understanding and complying with the laws of their jurisdiction. Some states may restrict or prohibit certain lending activities.
Tax Implications
Interest income from loans may be taxable. Losses from defaulted loans may or may not be deductible depending on your circumstances. We provide transaction records, but we do not provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional for guidance specific to your situation.
Not Investment Advice
Nothing on this platform constitutes investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of advice. You should not treat any of the platform's content as such.
