I will be lending money to a friend for the 3rd time in the last 10 years.
The past 2 times he has paid me back on time or better every month - 6k over 3 years and 9k over 5 years.
The first 2 times we had a notarized loan document and the loan was secured by his vehicle which he doesn't have any more although he is in much better financial shape now(and so am I).
This time he is asking for 5k over 2 years. I am not really worried about him not paying back as this will be an unsecured loan. I know he would do everything possible to repay me - should something happen.
What is the value of getting another notarized loan document. This is awkward to ask, but my only concern would be his death. As a 'lender' I should know the question to this.
Thanks.
