Depending on what part of the country you are lending in you probably have seen a slight up tick in leads or quality clients reaching out to you. Although there are still institutional backed lenders in the game their underwriting criteria's have tightened up and terms have increased. It has reduced the gap so that many active real estate investors are out there looking for other financing options. Remember, most good clients/borrowers/real estate flippers have access to bank money, private capital, lines of credit and their own funds BUT also need hard money at some point.

In this episode of Private Lenders' Podcast we discuss the importance of scripting when working with your clients. Many lenders try to wear the 'I have the money, I make the rules' hat or try to be to much of a 'yes man'. Either extreme will limit your deal flow or make your borrowers try to take advantage of you. Its important to understand that you control capital your borrowers need access to and provide good deal flow that capital investors want to deploy money into.

In this episode Jason & Chris emphasize the importance of raising the 'right' capital for your hard money business. Not all capital is equal and cheaper capital is certainly not better even if its more profitable. Hard money lending companies are typically capitalized through: private lenders, your own funds, bank funds, institutional backed funds, ira funds, leveraged funds, etc.. We go through different capital options with pros and cons of each along with tips to make sure you make the best decisions when raising capital for your business.

Private lenders are continuing to find and fund great deals for strong borrowers and it even seems like some of the strong institutional backed lending funds have re-created new funding programs too. Tune in now to hear our end of May update- Here's what we're seeing in the markets, how does opening up more businesses affect this, what's your plan as a company, etc

In this episode of the Private Lenders' Podcast we focus on understanding the importance of leads and deal flow. If you are raising capital, funding loans, buying houses, selling houses or even choosing tenants to occupy your rental properties or pretty much anything related to business, the more opportunities you have to choose from the stronger they will be. Let us explain... If you get 10 loan leads per week and you typically close about 1 loan per week you will likely choose the best opportunity out of those 10 leads. Now imagine if you have 30 or 40 leads a week to choose from. Chances are your loan quality that week would be even stronger. Now think about that with other things. Ex.. You have 4 capital investors that want to invest with you and you have 1 loan ready to go. Who would you choose to go with 1st? By having lots of deal flow and opportunities you can mitigate risk to make sure you are doing business with the most qualified people Tune in now for a few examples to make sure you are doing the best quality deals you have access to..

On this episode of PLP Jason and Chris passionately discuss playing offense and defense simultaneously in their lending business. Its important to take care of your current loans and managing your portfolio effectively during these times.

The loan quality should be much strong then what you may have seen in your market 30+ days ago. We go through how we are actively playing offense and defense inside our business.
