Private Lending

I have a passion for real estate. I’ve owned rental properties and have successfully flipped houses for a significant profit. However, currently, I don’t have rental properties and am not flipping houses. The local real estate market is too competitive, and I avoid getting into bidding wars. I’ve recently discovered another way to invest in real estate through private lending.

I lend money to investors looking to purchase properties. I’ve made a total of 255,000𝑖𝑛𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠.𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟2,000 a month in interest income alone. My experience with private lending has been very positive, and I’m looking to invest in more transactions.

Private lending allows me to diversify my portfolio into real estate without the hassle of managing properties. I earn a substantial interest rate while helping investors meet their short-term capital needs.

One of my initial questions about private lending was:

Why would someone with good credit borrow from me at rates as high as 10% or more? Why don’t they just go to a bank?

There are good reasons why investors turn to private lending:

Key Considerations:

Tax Advantages: Self-directed 401(k)s allow you to make private loans from a tax-sheltered account. If you have self-employment income, consider this option seriously.

Evaluating Deals:

Finding Opportunities:

Private loans are typically made between parties with existing relationships. The borrower might be a friend, family member, or someone with whom you have a business relationship.

I also encourage you to make connections outside of your normal network. A great way to do this is by being active in forums like BiggerPockets. While you must sign up for an account, membership is free.
