My cousin is about to get her undergrad. And after taking 1 semester off she's going to get her masters. She has 9000.00+ in debt at 15% interest. I'm thinking about offering to buy up her debt at 7% interest. She nevers misses a payment. I looked at the proposal as a win win for both of us. But am I being greedy by requesting any interest? She would make monthly payments to me at a fixed rate. What says the OT.

Not greedy.....in all fairness you're doing her a favor and making a few bucks along the way.

risky. Could ruin relationship. If she decides not to pay what are you going to do?

If it works out, then it is not greedy.

If you do this, you are an idiot. NEVER enter into a loan/business type arrangement with a family member and not expect to get screwed and/or cause family turmoil. There will be people along shortly to say it is OK but that is the exception.

People pay consistently on loans to outside sources because of the potential for negative outcomes (i.e. bad credit report). Remove that motivation and they will skip payments.

I'd gladly switch to someone I know especially if I knew I could make the payments. That 15% interest rate sounds fishy, you'd be doing her a huge favor so requesting interest seems ok to me.

what do you intend to do if she doesn't/can't pay off the loan anymore?

I have loaned people, relatives and friends, large sums at various rates. My guideline is how much I am able to save them without costing myself anything I would have made on the money through my investments.

I also have a promissory note drawn up and filed to cover any problems.

refer to the 7th crack commandment, it is very underrated

Keep your family and business completely separated
Money and blood don't mix like 2 dicks and no bitch
Find yourself in serious shite
