Looking to Invest in the form of hard money lending

[Dhruva Patel]

Hi,

I was trying to get a better understanding and maybe get some recommendations on how to get into hard money lending. I have some cash that I would like to put to work. However, I am not looking to become a hard money lender myself as I do not have the time or knowledge for it. I am looking for recommendations on companies that accept small investors to fund the hard money loans. Any recommendations and advice is appreciated!

Thanks

I'm lending and partnering with locals. Mostly RE related, but some are just regular businesses.  A couple long-time towing co owners are retiring. That's like 40% of our little market. Poof! A flipper/handyman buddy is starting one to replace them so we'll see how it goes.  My own Shark Tank!
