Ray discusses the opportunities of private credit thru real estate bridge loans. Partnering with lenders throughout the country, AlphaFlow purchases existing real estate bridge loans of 6-12 months in duration, with 80-90 different loans in a pool for investors.  Most of these loans are to "Flippers" who purchase homes, renovate/rehab them, then sell them.  For Accredited Investors only, they raise funds from institutional investors and private, retail investors.   Any investor looking for higher than market yields (who isn't?) will find this to be very interesting.
