As we continue to face economic uncertainty, many investors find themselves keeping their money on the sidelines.
Low returns on investments, risk and instability in the stock market, and new bank failures on a weekly basis keep investors running scared. Many ask themselves, "How do you find a safe reliable way to invest your savings or your retirement, IRA and or 401(k) money?" Many find themselves suddenly downsized out of a job, being laid off, or being forced into a premature "retirement" only to find their retirement money has been almost exclusively invested in the very company that has failed to provide them the financial security once promised to them.
The good news for some is that as a result of their hard work and discipline over the years, they have amassed significant amounts of money that, if properly invested can help ease the pain or in some cases be enough of a nest-egg to create permanent financial stability.
How do you invest this money safely, wisely and yet at a high enough rate of return? Who do you trust to manage this money for you in such turbulent financial times?
The best answer is simple: Trust Yourself! One of the oldest forms of investing is direct investment in the way of private lending to to worthy commercial borrowers who know how to get a good return on your money but as a result of the banking turmoil in recent years have limited access to working capital.
Learning to make wise investments and to loan to worthy borrowers who will pay you back and give you a decent rate of return is not easy, but it is a fairly simple process that you can learn. The process is a recipe of thorough due diligence, building relationships with individual borrowers and having the courage to trust your gut instincts.
