We borrow private money over a 60 month term to purchase very low loan-to-value properties. We then sell houses, as-is, to lease option buyers who are interested in our owner-financing program. This provides instant profitability, and equity cushion in the case of further market downturn, and automatic wealth building.
Our company offers homeownership programs to credit challenged buyers who cannot qualify for a bank loan on their own. This service allows families to become homeowners today when they could not have otherwise.
How do you benefit from private money lending?
We pay you 12% interest on your investment. Often, we borrow small chunks of cash to buy investment properties so there is less risk involved.
We'll give you an interest schedule showing exactly how much you've earned at any given time during the investment term. Even if the market fluctuates, your rate of return does not change.
Can I use my IRA or 401K to lend from?
Absolutely. In fact that is what some of my investors do. You must be in control over where your investments go from your IRA or 401k, and you can take any IRA or 401k that you own and roll it over into a self-directed IRA. There is no penalty for doing this because you are not taking a distribution, you are simply changing the Administrator to one that allows you to self-direct where the funds go. Doing it this way, you can make all of your gains tax deferred without counting on someone else to get you 8%-12% fixed returns day in and day out. Seek a custodial company that allows you to be in control of your investments.
Is Private Lending really a safe investment?
In my opinion it is much safer than the stock market because you have no ups and downs to worry about. You might make money in the stock market one month or one year, and then get wiped out the next. When it's all said and done, most people get returns that barely keep up with inflation. By investing in real estate, you won't be gambling on companies that you have no control over or know little about who is running them. Your investment loans are safely secured by real estate. You will get fixed returns that never change, there are no fees or commissions, no early withdrawal penalties, and there will be large spreads or hedge factors of equity versus your investment. You'll just need to use common sense and take a look at what the property is worth, what's owned and what you're lending. Remember, you do not have to put all of your investment funds into real estate; but it's a great place to get consistent, predictable and reliable returns.

A Solution to the Housing Crisis
I first became involved in real estate as an agent in 2018. Since then, I focus more on building my own real estate investing portfolio. Through the Slow Flip method, I am able to provide a solution to the housing affordability crisis one home at a time.
