I have heard that it is common practice that private money lenders collect a monthly fee thru various methods, I'm trying to determine what those methods are.   

I tried several, but it didn't seem to work or click for me.

I have plenty of capital to go any route, just trying to figure out the best path.

I'm on standby to assist with Property Management, no risk to give us a try!

You have to be ready to make 3-6 months of payments on the mortgage yourself after they stop while you try to foreclose/evict them.
