It really doesn't take that much at all. In terms of this site, most deals are relatively small, under or araound $100K. I'm sure if you posted in the "Lender" section of this site, you'd get some deals.

Every state has there own rules as to who they regulate. Most states do not regulate commercial lenders the same as residnetal lenders.
That is why most HML do allow you to live in the property. If they let you live in the property then it would be a residental loan and that would be regulated.
You gathered K-REKT regarding becoming a PRIVATE PERSON Loaning Ca$h to the Needy homeowner or upstart REIer!!!
I've had much success both as a regulated Mtg. Broker and MUCH MORE PROFIT with a LOT LEES HEADACHE (read: regulations, Licensing, etc.) in the Private loan arena.
I usually do this using land trusts. Keeping the Title un clouded and Obtaining an ABI(Assignment of Beneficial Interest) from the TRUSTEE in case the homeowner or REIer defaults on our arrangment!
PM me for more information on becoming either a Regulated or Private Lender---I'll be glad to share the Good, the Bad and the Ugly with both!
Something you may want to consider if you have only 20-100k is being an investor. As an investor, you can let people know you would be willing to be a 50% equity partner in preforclosure/short sale deals. If you make a 20k investment and double your money in 6 months, your doing pretty good. Furthermore, if you get your name out and be selective, you can have some degree of certainty. There are lots of smart people with solid deals, that lack cash.

Since your in GA this is the agency that may or may not regulate you. http://www.ganet.org/dbf/mortgage_forms.html
From searching the site it looks like I'm more interested in being a private money investor.....
thanks for replying.

I would have interest investing in the private money sector myself
