This loan isn’t reported to the credit bureau so it doesn’t affect your DTI and you will have to pay YOURSELF interest on the funds borrowed in repayment.

Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Your mortgage can't even report to the bureau until it is at least 30 days late, so there is always a grace period where you could make a payment if he doesn't and then pursue legal paths to either get your money back from him, or foreclose on him. 

- no I'm not talking about the watered down version you get from cozy or transunion for free - a true up to date credit report... unless you have a secure facility with different levels of security and have passed the bureau's vendor's onsite inspection...

Per this NY Times article, the average American knows around 600 people.https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/19/science/the-average-american-knows-how-many-people.html#:~:text=The%20average%20American%20knows%20about,do%20you%20know%20named%20Kevin%3FPer the US Census Bureau, the average American moves 11.7 time in their life, which based upon an approximate lifespan of 84 years, works out to be about every 7 years.https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/calculating-migration-expectancy.html#:~:text=Using%202007%20ACS%20data%2C%20it,one%20move%20per%20single%20yearSo, if the average American knows 600 people and they each move about every 7 years, that means that the average American knows around 85 people that move in any given year.How many of those moves do you want to be involved in?

Maybe an enterprising GC could make their whole career out of giving out bids for money.

I will assume that because this gives them a good return ( The market growth is well documented (in dutch) on the CBS website : Central Bureau of statistics Curacao.)
