BiggerPockets: Private Money Lending is a Perfect Alternative to Active Investing. Here’s Why

As the market changes, you as an active investor need to understand what your path forward looks like. Active investors need to consider their capital sources, and adding private lending to that mix can help weather the storm of hard money lenders shuttering, underwriting standards changing mid-deal, and inflation creating greater costs for materials and labor. Having access to capital is the life blood of a real estate business. Private lending isn’t just for full fledged active investors to know about either! Active investors can put their capital to work between projects, out of their retirement accounts, or after a flip sells. Private lending can easily be worked into an active real estate portfolio, allowing for greater cash flow.
