One option is investing in real estate as a private money lender.

Your best bet is to consult with a good broker that has experience with business insurance and RE.

Use private money lenders and choose a conservative market.

@Bijan SabbaghiYou don’t that’s the challenge - we pull data from several places as a note holder and for example and currently we see less than 20% actually going to foreclosure as most are ending in bankruptcy right now due to borrowers equityThe ones that are under water are typically going back to the bank.Best bet is to find properties where deceased or maybe divorced to get higher chance of actually going to foreclosure

Would you be better putting the $100k in the stock market, or in a treasury bill at 4% or do private lending at 10-12%?

Go ahead and state who you're working with, this sounds eerily similar to something we've heard on this forums over & over.Josh Janus, since you asked.Yesterday I sent Josh the link to Lolo Druff's post and my reply so the two of them can connect privately. 

That said, $8k is a big nut so I'm really not quite sure if I will go with a private consultant on an hourly basis or go with them or some other form of coaching.
