Passive Real Estate Investing Through Private Lending
A hands-off way for investors to earn returns backed by real estate,
without owning properties or managing tenants.
This is for investors who want passive income without the work
InvestAway is designed for individuals who want exposure to real estate returns without taking on the responsibilities of being an active investor. If you have capital and are looking for a more hands-off way to grow wealth, private lending may be a fit.
What is Private Lending?
Private lending is a form of real estate investing where you earn returns by lending capital to real estate projects, secured by the underlying property. Instead of owning or operating real estate, you participate as a lender and receive returns based on agreed-upon terms.
This is ideal if you:
- Want passive income backed by real estate
- Prefer predictable terms over active management
- Don’t want tenants, toilets, or renovations
- Are looking to diversify outside traditional investments
Why InvestAway
Aligned interests
Every deal is structured so everyone wins the same way: a successful project means the investor earns returns, the borrower completes the project profitably, and the relationship continues.
Decades of experience
InvestAway is informed by decades of real-world experience from me and my husband, Harley. Together, we’ve actively invested in and operated real estate across multiple strategies, including flips, BRRRR projects, short-term rentals, and long-term rentals. I’ve also worked as a real estate agent on hundreds of investor transactions, giving us deep, practical insight into how deals are structured, where risk actually shows up, and what it takes for projects to succeed in the real world, not just on paper.
Transparency first
Investors deserve to understand where their money is going and why. Each opportunity is presented with clear terms, straightforward explanations, and open communication. The goal is not to oversell deals, but to provide enough clarity so investors can make informed decisions with confidence.
Designed for Passive Investors
InvestAway is designed specifically for investors who want exposure to real estate without being operators. You are not managing properties, handling tenants, or overseeing renovations. Your role is limited to providing capital under defined terms, while the real estate work happens on the borrower side.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes InvestAway different from a traditional lender?
InvestAway sits between traditional lending and active real estate investing. Instead of rigid bank processes or transactional hard money models, deals are structured with real operators in mind and clear terms for investors. Because we’ve been on both sides of the table as investors and operators, the focus is on creating deals that are realistic, well-structured, and designed to succeed for everyone involved.
What kinds of projects do you fund?
Projects typically include residential real estate investments such as flips, BRRRR strategies, and rental properties. Each opportunity is reviewed based on the asset, the structure of the deal, and the operator’s plan. The goal is not to fund every deal, but to participate in projects where the underlying real estate and execution plan make sense.
How secure are the investments?
Private lending always involves risk, and it’s important to be clear about that. One way risk is managed is through conservative deal structure. We typically do not lend more than 75% of the after-repair value (ARV) of a property across the total loan amount. That means there is built-in equity in the deal, which helps provide a buffer if a project takes longer than expected or market conditions change.
Each opportunity is reviewed individually, and investors are provided with clear terms and documentation so they understand how their capital is being used before moving forward.
Important note: Private lending involves risk, including the potential loss of capital. Returns are not guaranteed and depend on borrower performance and project execution. InvestAway structures loans with real estate collateral and clear documentation, but all investments should be evaluated based on your personal financial situation.
