Treasury bond money market funds pay over 5% now, tax-free from state taxes.

We've got a unique bond and combined experience that can make some serious waves in the market.

The idea is to form lifelong bonds and watch our for each others kids as we grow old. 

The government recently issued $1B in bonds which were oversubscribed by 5x, with the demand coming very much from the U.S. 

Just like Carlos said it "feels" alot like the dot bomb here.I moved everything to bonds n cd's spread out.still doesn't make it easier laying off my guys tho.  

Mortgage bonds have multiple alternatives they weigh against.

They will significantly boost labor productivity; - Inflation is trending down;- the Fed is itching to lower interest rates and bond markets are starting to sniff out a shift in the winds;- there is a ~$70 trillion wealth transfer from the Baby Boomers to their kidsbeginning (including their homes and real estate assets);- home prices are increasing steadily, not chaotically;- overall rents are up, but steading thanks to apartment rents / supply;- wage growth, for more than a year, is back to above inflation levels;- and the bottom 50% have more $ in their checking accounts than ever before as a % of wealth.

This is not investing in stocks and bonds and speculative moves.

Booked 4/15/19 Charge: Writ of Attachment Released on $10k bond 4/16/19I had to look up what a writ of attachment was.

In my opinion, I would not take the advice you received regarding using OPM is you have no experience in investing in real estate.I would also not look to be a private lender for several reasons1) You are better off putting your money with a corporate bond / CD and get 5-6% with little risk compared to 10% to 12% with much more risk given today's market conditions2) You won't be able to retire getting interest income, which you said is your goal.
