Funding investors for flip projects

The past few weeks I’ve been getting asked to fund certain projects for people looking to flip houses. I don’t have the money but I know people who do. So my question is would it be better to connect the two people and gather a referral fee or the middle man, have the money lent to me at a lower interest rate and lend the money out at a higher interest rate? What would be the gain vs drawback of either method? Is there a better way to do it?

Just wanted some feedback to see if it’s worth pursuing.

I would get the referral fee and get out of it. If you are the middle man it gets way more complicated, costly, and time consuming.
