RE investors might go for it, but other common people would think it was some sort of scam and would say no.2) If they do go for it, what kind of terms should I offer that would allow me a monthly profit?

Perhaps too many have been taken in by the mortgage scams.

If you pull enough suckers into your scam you will eventually have a few that actually have some success.

I have excellent customer service, but sometimes, there are guests looking to scam...although very rare.  

It’s estimated that the American investing public lost in excess of $600 Billion investing in Initial Coin Offerings, of which it was found that 84% were outright scams, and 92% were structured so that it was impossible for the purchasers of these “coins” to make any money.

He did his due diligence on the property; drafted loan docs (which were fully executed) and  he charged a fee for 3rd party reports.My client spent significant time and money working with this so-called private lender and then the week before closing (which is supposed to be tomorrow) his wires never came through to escrow and he disappeared.Anybody looking for a loan ought to avoid this scam artist.  

Scam alert! 

So I got sold a MLM scam and dropped out.
