Hi All,
I've been working on building a client base in NY using OPM (other people's money if u don't know the term). Anyway, I am feeling out of my comfort zone because I don't know what the next step will be once I find some people who want to lend $ to make $ (I have a few prospects who are interested but skeptical...so I have to know how to explain this to them).
How does the transaction work? Does the $ go into escrow w/ my attorney? Or a business bank account? What kind of contract do I use with the private lender? A promissory note? Is it legal to borrow $ from someone and pay them interest? I thought that was against Fed regulations... you know the law that says a citizen can't charge or collect interest without a mortgage broker's license?
