The interest that it does accrue is money you don't lose, but rather it does go back into your investments. 

@Melissa StanleyYour scenario is fairly common — "I've got the funds, you've got the experience, let's make lots of money."

Invest in funds that lend hard money. 

Let’s cut through the noise, and get to the core of the situation—the money.

Don't scrutinize the money that you are paying these people - they will be worth every dollar if they know what they are doing.

I know a lot of people who have made a lot of money in real estate here in Colorado.

I want to use my IRA and do a 60 day rollover and put the money back in the IRA before 60 days to avoid early IRA withdrawal penalties. .

I Enjoyed the extra viewpoint.

The way to make money is by buying things like this that landlords don't want to deal with. 

I told them that I work with real estate investors that would be able to help them and put some money in their pocket to help them with their crushing debt and bills so they wont go into foreclosure on both houses How did you finance this deal?
