Each person has their own risk tolerance, however what I will say is most people don't have straight cash to buy a couple hundred thousand dollar property hence are forced into utilizing hard money. 

I feel like there is a learning curve but so far I really like it.

But feel free to use these points as a benchmark.

- At what point for return on equity, do you feel like you are not leveraging the equity well enough?

Only after they have been screened and seen the property in person can they apply.

Personally for me this always gave me piece of mind that IF I ever wanted to sell one of my properties that has appreciated a lot, I could move back into one for a while if I plan strategically in advance

I'm not familiar with how European real estate transactions work but personally know I would feel a lot better if there was a third party involved holding the money

Personally I’d Just let the seller keep it.

Many of you may relate to this feeling even when we think we can do everything and discover that is not the case.What I have learned is this:1.

Hard money and private money loans can ultimately feel like high-stakes games, but if you have the appropriate plan in place and add a little comedy to the mix, you'll discover that the trip was well worth it in the end.
