This is part 5 of a 5 part articles series:
Part 1 - What is hard money loan investing?
Part 2 - How to protect from loss
Part 3 - The Due Diligence Check List
Part 4 - Top 19 hard money loan funds
Part 5 - Postmortem: Money flushed down the drain (a loan that took years to resolve and lost 60%)
In this article, we'll do a post-mortem of a problematic hard money loan that concluded on one of the platforms. After taking years longer than projected to conclude, it lost a stomach churning 60%+ of investor money. And this was during an economic boom. So we'll dissect what went wrong, and hopefully learn some lessons on how to avoid similar experiences in the future.
