To be honest with you people do not mind lend relatives money for medical tuition bills and will not want to get into lending practice unless there is a profit sharing scheme.

It's a terrible experience.I'm open to grouping together and using a lawyer between us to share the legal costs if we want to set this all right.

I took a look at the post that was removed, and edited it so the advertising language is gone and reposted it.Also, the moderator who removed your post started those other advertising posts before he was a moderator - they're more than a year old and have since been removed from the site.Our rules can be a little tricky, but they boil down to: No advertising of any kind in the forums.

Hi,I was just trying to know what may be risks(hidden) involved with private lending on first lien.I hope there must be many experienced investors and lenders here...if you guys wants to share your experience..Thanks 

alot of this I think would be determined on personal goals of yourself and family followed by goals of your future for example I bought my first house 2 years ago small little 3 bed 1 bath thought great started now i have 1 5 year old terror I already see the drama of a girl in teens sharing a bath room -_- I would give ANYTHING to go back 2 years and buy a duplex "but I cant" sooo I now have great sweat equity built into my home and will be taking a heloc out on it to do my first deal.

I don't really have anything to offer you yet, but I'll remember you when I do have something to share!!

Hi @Liz White - I'm sure you've discovered this information already, but I wanted to share it with you in case you haven't seen it (directly from the NC Real Estate Commission):"...requirements for an applicant who holds a current real estate license in another state (or U.S. territory or Canadian jurisdiction) that has been on active status within the previous three (3) years and that is equivalent to NC's provisional or "full" broker license." --- view the requirements here.

I'm starting in REI and looking to connect, and share stories.

I live in Bayonne and have seen progress towards positive change since moving here (luxury apartment complexes, ferry, Costco, Military Ocean Terminal redevelopment, bike share, park improvements).

Yes, quite a bit, and happy to share.
