Private Money Lending
I had lent out some money to a developer at 24% [2% per month] over the year and a half. Every month around the 7th I’d get my 2% like clockwork. Easiest money I never had to work for! The money was secured by a trust deed on the property.
Sadly those days are coming to an end. I was notified that he was either going to refi and pay us off or put us on some other scheme where we get 12% plus 20% when the project is completed.
Since I’m sending my mom some money to buy an apartment, I opted to get my money back. But it was good while it lasted. But in a few months I’ll be selling one of my houses and freeing up some capital and will have to look for more ways to get a good return.
I’ve also given some money to a developer in Arizona. He doesn’t pay any interest but after 18 months starts paying us off at the rate of 80% total ROI. Its been a year already. Hope he doesn’t go BK on me!!!!
Anyone else doing private money lending?

Just remember, the return you get on an investment varies with the risk. More return equals more risk, no exceptions. Good luck

If you count the private lending through Prosper.com then yes. I’m not really lending any real money through it yet, but thus far I’ve gotten a very good return. As the previous commenter mentioned, there’s always a risk.
