#113: You can be a lender instead of a borrower with Mortgage Note Investing. Real estate is your collateral, securing your loan.

Why would you want to give a loan to someone that can't qualify for a bank loan? David Campbell from Hassle-Free Cash Flow Investing tells us why and how.

9-10% cash-flowing rates of return are common. Compared to buy-and-hold RE investing, this is more liquid, less risky, and incurs lower transaction costs.
