How to Truly Control Your Capital - #292

In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, hosts Jason Balin and Chris Haddon from Hard Money Bankers break down one of the most common challenges private lenders face — keeping control over their capital investors.

Whether you’re lending through a fund or direct placement notes, having clear, consistent systems for rates of return, documentation, underwriting, and investor communications is essential. Jason and Chris share real-world examples of what happens when lenders give too much control to their capital base, and the simple steps you can take to avoid investor-driven chaos.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

How to set a standard rate of return (and stick to it)
Why consistency in documentation and underwriting protects your business
How to renegotiate with early investors giving them too-good terms
The dangers of custom one-off deals and why they don’t scale
How to build long-term, win-win relationships with capital investors

Whether you’re new to private lending or running an established hard money business, this episode will help you treat your lending like a real business — protecting your time, your returns, and your investor relationships.
