Private Lending Basics
How It Works: You lend money to a borrower (usually a real estate operator or small business) who repays you with interest over time
External Companies: Many vetted private lending firms pool investor capital and fund real estate projects like flips or new construction
Typical Terms:
8–12% interest
6–36 month duration
Backed by collateral (recorded liens/mortgages)
Advantages:
Passive: the company vets borrowers and services the loans
Predictable cash flow backed by hard assets
Diversifies you away from Wall Street volatility
Becoming the Private Lender (Infinite Banking Pair)
Build your own system and collect interest directly like a bank
Create a lending LLC to issue loans and protect liability
Draft formal promissory notes + security agreements (attorney-reviewed)
Secure your loan with:
Recorded lien or mortgage
Personal guarantees from the borrower
Insurance naming you as mortgagee/loss payee
Choose structure:
Interest-only (cash flow) or amortized (steady payoff)
Capital sources: personal cash, IBC policy loans, or SDIRA funds
This gives full control and higher yields — but requires due diligence and legal structure
Traps to Avoid
Only fund deals with verified collateral and exit plans
Avoid handshake deals — always use legal docs
Never lend from your personal name — always use an entity
Protect liquidity buffer if using IBC funds
