On this episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews George Otel, a commercial real estate finance expert and founder of US Business Funding. George shares his journey from the transportation industry into real estate, detailing his pivot into multifamily and ultimately commercial lending. He explains how his team works with over 1,000 lending sources, including private lenders, family offices, and funds, to help investors navigate complex financing scenarios—especially when traditional banks fall short. They discuss the importance of structuring deals creatively, moving fast on off-market opportunities, and the emerging landscape of business acquisitions as a wealth transfer looms.
