In this episode, Ian talks about how hard money lenders work and what type of investors they are for.

Key Takeaways:

– Private lending is very much deal driven.
– An all in exposure loan can be 65% of the after repair market value.
– Most people think they have a deal that is not a deal… Know your market.
– Private lenders can tell a ton by the numbers that the investor puts out.
– The deal lives or dies by the numbers, but there is more to consider.
– It’s hard to impossible to close in a week with a bank.
– Build the cost of borrowing into your bottom line.
– The speed that the borrower moves at has a ton to do with how cheap the capital is.
– True lenders do not want to foreclose.
– If you want to be a lending, learn your market.
– If you really know your market, you don’t need to use your own money.
– The 50 house rule to get the experience you need.
