Making a loan secured by real property without a broker (I have the money to lend)

[Lupe Santiago]

Hello - I was looking through Craigslist and came across a Borrower who needed to borrow about 2/3rd the purchase price for a property, which is in Las Vegas, Nevada. I like the property and the loan to value... the question I have is fairly simple:

Can I fund this loan as a non-licensed, private individual? There's no brokers involved or anything like that. Just two people trying to make a deal work. I've bought a few trust deeds this year in California, but that's it.

Thanks for your responses!
