First time lender - how to prepare?
We have what seems like a very solid opportunity to be the "Other People 's Money" . I've become a fairly proficient beginner at traditional RE investing -analyzing deals and markets and all that. I get the fundamentals of how to make sure a deal is solid and how to think about it. I am new to loaning money to other people, so I need to learn what are the tools and procedures to analyze a deal from that perspective or what are the places something could go wrong and how do you mitigate that risk. Any suggestions for how to begin learning more about this part of investing?
