Nice. Some interesting ideas. The cash to invest was a liquidation of some mutual funds and CDs I had with US Bank when they found out I was an evil gun dealer and closed all my accounts on me. I transferred my checking and savings to a new bank, moved the 401k and IRA assets to the place that handles my current job's 401k, and then went downtown and cashed the check for the investment accounts. It's been almost a year and while it's been fun having stacks of green to fondle, I need to figure out something more productive to do with it.

I'm already pretty well equipped with transferrable and pre sample MGs. Got a sweet job setup so I'm not willing to leave it and put in the time starting and running a business full-time, as opposed to the side business I've been running with guns and gunsmithing.

I know nothing about this hard lending stuff or getting into payday loans. I guess I'll start scouring the inter webs for information on that stuff. Thanks!
