People that have experience with with lending funds.

[Joseph Nelson]

Interested in hearing from the people that have experience with lending funds (their own personal money) to other for real estate investing; whether it's for repairs on a property, initial capital to fund a purchase, etc.

I am not particularly sure that i want to be a landlord and deal with tenants constantly. (Haven't ruled it out).

How do you go about finding people to lend to, make sure that the money is being used for what it is intended, length of time that they have to pay you pay, how much interest to charge, that you don't get ripped off or scammed, etc.
