Private money Loan scam

Himanish Gupta

Posted

I recently got an email from a private money lender saying he can give me a loan for rental at 3% fixed with 0.8% fees. It looks too good to be true and I smell a scam. How do I know if it legit or not?

I'd be suspicious, too. HMLs are currently in the 10-12% interest range, plus fees. Why don't you post the name of the lender on this forum to see if anyone has used him/her and had good results? That's usually the quickest way to qualify or disqualify someone.
