Would you rather be a private lender or own rentals/rehab?
I had an interesting conversation with a private lender the other day. She informed me that she hates owning property. She claims a file cabinet full of notes brings her more joy than a portfolio of investment properties. For many of us we are trying to figure out how to get as many doors as possible. Have any of you made a transition from owning a ton of properties, to private lending and wish you made it happen sooner in retrospect? Has being a lender proven scalable, more profitable, or given you a better quality of life over rehabbing or owning rental property? Do any of you really enjoy a hybrid of lending your own capital, while actively investing?

Awesome post! Another option is investing in a private lending fund. the investment is diversified over all of the loans in the portfolio without the headaches of ownership, maintenance, tenants, etc. It's a great way to be in real estate and "be the bank" instead of the owner with an attractive return.
