@Jack TuckerSince I have/had less than no idea on this question, I just Googled real estate private money lenders and at privatemoneygoldmine.com it seems the lenders are at 6% to 10%, but I have no ideas on specifics as to length of term and initial down required.I know all the deals I have seen in the Portland, OR area with Owner financing have been 20% down and 6% for 5 years, with a balloon.Also aren't the terms are what you are comfortable with and how you structure the deal?

This latter concern is likely overblown, but I disagree about the civil liability being unlikely absent some sort of insurance, bonding, and/or solid contractual indemnification on Accredify's part.I'll check out the article you mentioned this morning.

I'm hoping to get at lease 1% of the purchase price as monthly income.I have never been to Indianpolis, but I'm planning to take a week trip to Indianpolis, any area I should check out for investment purpose?

I have made an account here but never took the time to actually check out the forum.

I did a google search and found answers from both sides so I'm looking for a little more clarification.
