Get it in writing.
But yeah, it's sketchy as fuck. If he could guarantee that ROI he could just go to a bank.
If you can afford to lose the money and maybe tolerate a lengthy trial go for it. Personally I couldn't.
The reason he can't go to the bank because he have take enough loan and can't take anymore. He said I can make money by apply for loan against property, and loan to him and pocket the different.
It seem that he want to take more loan than the bank want to give him.
Yeah it seem risky as fuck. So i am asking.
That sounds sketchy af. I would run, FAR ...
So he wants you to take a loan out using your property as collateral to invest in his business? And if he doesn't get you the promised return, what do you think happens to your collateral when you can't pay back your loan?
If his business would be viable, banks would give him loans up to a reasonable amount.
If he can't pay back the bank loans, how will he be able to pay back yours?
That’s not how that works. For a business, if he can show the bank his business plan, they’ll loan him whatever they think he can afford to pay, and at a lot better rate than 15%. The fact that the bank isn’t suggests they think he’s full of shit.
Absolutely do not take a loan out to loan to him
You never give loans to someone that you're not completely prepared to write off. You absolutely don't give loans with loans (unless you're a bank and getting those loans from a central bank, which I doubt you are).
Anyone who would suggest this does not have your best interests at heart
