If you have money and lend it, thats pretty passive. If I take a $150k note from a person, and pay them 10% on that over a year, thats $15k they literaly didn't lift a finger for.

The catch 22 is you need money first to lend. But money makes money.
Lets say I do have the money to lend what would be the process I would have to go through too ensure that I get the money back that I lend. Should I just conduct myself as a loan department and write out extensive contracts?
