What Went Down at the June Hard Money Mastermind Event - #278

In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, we’re recapping everything that went down at our very first June Hard Money Mastermind Event—and trust us, it was a big one.

Held right in our home market of Maryland, this intimate, invite-only gathering brought together 20 serious hard money lenders from around the country, many of whom we were meeting in person for the first time. From high-level presentations on raising capital, investor relations, and default management to in-depth discussions on deal flow, lending software, and avoiding overleverage—this was a true working mastermind.

We also welcomed guest speakers: 🔹 Shane Powers, who broke down marketing strategies for private lenders (SEO, paid ads, and more) 🔹 Harris Dainoff, a seasoned loan doc attorney who shared essential insights on legal protections and negotiating title

Inside this episode, you’ll hear: ✅ How first-time lenders evolve from risky 100% financing to safer structures ✅ The real numbers behind profitable lending portfolios ✅ Lessons from the trenches on software, borrower relationships, and lender collaboration ✅ Why small, non-competing groups create the best environment for transparency and growth

This isn’t about flashy presentations or hundreds of attendees—it’s about deep dives, candid conversations, and actionable takeaways for full-time private lenders looking to scale smart and stay profitable.
