I polled hundreds of hard money lenders earlier this year to try to find out the "market" price of this money.

So, again, the idea that mortgage investing is going away or somehow someone missed the 'boat', seems a bit counterintuitive to the hundreds of years the concept has been around.Having a local niche will be the best thing you can do as a 'street level' investor.
