Hi,

I'm starting out and trying to diversify.  I have some good funds saved up and looking into private lending.  I appreciate any thoughts on how to get it going?

Thanks,

Stan

go to local REIA type meetups talk to flippers and let them know your interested in lending.. pretty simple.

use a lot of caution though as you start out.

 Thanks!  What kind of contract, risk assessment that I should do, mostly to protect myself from losing the funds?  I'm being curious as well on the typical rate you would get being a private lender?

@Chris Seveney   Chris is someone  U may want to talk with I believe he will let you invest along side him and that is a great way to get some experience without taking on untold risk.. 

@Bob Malecki   has a fund ( not sure if its accredited or not) but they are in the business of managing debt instruments.

So maybe you check into these two as some sort of alternativeto get some experience.

the BP is full of threads of beginner lenders asking for help after the fact.. 

its not super complicated but experience matters when it comes to lending.. its not like buying a rental home and sticking a tenant in it.. anyone can grasp those concepts.
