Chad, A few paragraphs about how one might go about getting into private lending and the keys to succeeding in it as you have would be greatly appreciated by the BP community.

I actually don't find investors, they find and come to us. We do an EXTREME amount of due diligence, otherwise we wouldn't be in business for very long.
No gloating, I just really love my job and wish everyone in the community knew about how much money can be made from trust deed investing/private lending... WHEN DONE CORRECTLY.

Chad, sounds interesting to say the least and I've always wanted to know how to get into PAPER investing instead of asset investing as the pain in the *** factor on the actual ownership is ok but not optimal, my exit goal has always been paper only work as in basicly lending. As a larger SFR portfolio owner I am getting close to being able to go switch gears and try LENDING only...where to start though? how does one become a "Hard money guy" in reality? (Obviously it takes lots of capital, I guess debt could work along with cash....but I'd deff be interested in hearing the "E book" if you will of the HOW and the STEPS and the PITFALLS. :)

I'd love to share Obin. First and foremost, if there was one book on this planet that I would HIGHLY recommend, it would be The Banker's Code. Start there. Second to that, our website explains it in detail (I can't give that out here without permission though). We have a few people here on our team that started out as flippers and wholesalers. Once they got a taste of being the bank though, they could NEVER go back.

@Chad Brey Do you work with Michael Quarles at all? It seems that you're both in the same area (Bakersfield). I'm also living in California and am looking for wholesalers and virtual wholesalers to work with as boots on the ground here in LA.

@ Seiichi Ishikawa - FYI, I am a notes investor and specialized in 2nd Non-Performing Notes. I also a private money lender in San Diego.
For private lender in San Diego, I typically charge 12% for 2nd trust deed - which is around 20% of LTV. I believed they pay the 1st trust deed around 10% - which is 80% LTV. Which is a bit cheaper than the "hard money lender" whom typically charge 2-2.5 point and 10-12% up to 80% LTV or 60-65% ARV.
@ Toni Staples - let me know if we can help/work each other.

Seiichi: Rates ALL depend on the risk factor of the project. The rates I charge to my borrowers range anywhere from 10-15%. The loan terms are another story. I lend all over the USA though. In California, it depends on the area. LA - sometimes 12%. In Kern County - 9-12%,.

@Colleen F. I started with less than 60k and I own 7. The amount will differ dependent on if you are buying a performing note, non-performing note, a second position note etc.

Obin Olson - would you be more interested in buying paper or active lending? We have done both, I strongly prefer active lending, you get to know your people better.
