How to become a Hard Money Lender

[Sam Stout]

Hey there,

     I am interested in becoming a Hard Money Lender because I just don't have time to manage rentals and all that.  Does anyone on here know of some reputable contacts which could get me good rates on my money if I put it up for hard money loans?  How does this process work?  I have roughly 300-500k to lend, I'd prefer 10 years notes, with monthly payments.  

Thanks!
