Learn how to become a private mortgage investor or a hard money lender.



Investing in mortgages and real estate notes your money is secured by the real estate and you can earn up to 12% on your money. Some investors can make as high as 15% depends on the investment and the risk you take.

As experienced hard money lenders we really don’t want to take too much risk, so we will not eventually get to foreclose the property and money on the deal. Though we will always have enough equity in the property to cover the losses, this is still a huge headache that will last for few months and we rather not take it.



Direct lending in the way hard money lenders do, it’s the most secured way to invest your money. Since we are in business to make money, we also understand that in some cases we also need to take risks.

Hard money have some risk, but much less risk then investing your money in the stock market or a business that is not sure to get somewhere. Hard money is protected by the actual investment “Real Estate”.

hard money lenders want to always make sure that the borrower will have incentive in paying back the loan. This incentive can be the borrower purchasing a property and using almost 50% of his money on the property or if he refinance, then he will have at least 40% equity in the property.

The equity and the down payment provided by the borrower will make sure he is not going anywhere because he have big chunk of his own money in the deal. So if he will default on the payments he will loose it all right away.
