Hi @Julian BuickThe kI would study self-directed IRAs and look into using some cash for private lending over going out and buying propertiesMaking 12% as a private lender on a Roth IRA is a pretty good idea

You may want to do a search on Linkedin for "private equity fund tax liens"

It will also keep your Social Security number private.

I will be talking with a potential investor about a private money loan and wondered what I should ask for in regard to the terms.

I want to provide her with these items im just not sure how to proceed on doing so ; Please adviseThanks :)I suggest you not write anything except the purchase contract, in that state you are  receiving a loan from private sources.
