High Yield Debt Strategies...

I'm in the process of interviewing around various debt shops and they all seem to have a high yield bucket that tries to get double digit returns. 

How are folks getting to a double digit return in today's extremely low yield environment? It's hard to charge a borrower a 10% interest rate when the properties are only spitting off a 3-5% return when stabilized. 

Are people just throwing money at extremely risky deals like developments and super value add renovation deals? Perhaps funneling into a retail strategy? 

How are people doing it?
