“Authors Alex and Beth approach this nuanced vocation with practical, clear, and complete guidance that seeks neither to overcomplicate nor oversimplify the variables involved.”
—The American Association of Private Lenders
Actively investing in real estate can sometimes seem impossible. Not everyone can spend all hours of the day dashing off to talk to motivated sellers, managing fix-and-flips, or screening tenants for rental properties. Instead, you can choose a different path by “being the bank” for other active real estate investors—a strategy that works with any lifestyle, builds toward financial goals, and gives you time back in your day.
What used to be a trade secret for corporate lenders is now available to the average person, and Lend to Live makes the private lending path actionable and accessible for everyone. With more than two decades of experience in the mortgage lending space and real estate investing, Alex Breshears and Beth Johnson show you how to invest in real estate from anywhere in the world—all you need is an internet connection and a cell phone.
- Why private money lending has become a popular alternative investment strategy to create passive income
- How to establish baseline lending criteria to match your investment goals and risk tolerance
