Small time Private Lending in CA

[Christina Fleet]

As far as companies go, I don't have a lot of capital.  But as a single person starting out, I have a sizable amount of cash and I would like to get started with lending. I could only fund rehabs or very inexpensive foreclosures as of now. I will be seeking legal counsel to find out how to establish my business structure and to create the appropriate documents.  And I have a couple of books to buy - Making the Yield and Invest in Debt.  For anyone else who has done this, do you have any tips on getting started and minimizing risk? Thank you!
