We Had a Default Exit Fall Through - #274

We Had a Default Exit Fall Through - #274 In this episode, we break down a real-time default scenario that’s still unfolding—and getting messier by the day. From missed payments and incomplete renovations to a borrower secretly moving in and filing bankruptcy, this loan has had every complication imaginable. We walk you through how we structured the original deal, what went wrong, and why our exit strategy—selling to an investor buyer—completely fell apart at the 11th hour. If you're a private lender, these situations will happen. Understanding how to manage a default from a business—not just legal—standpoint is critical. We cover: ✔️ Why defaults are inevitable (and how to prepare) ✔️ Lessons learned from a 3-year problem loan in Maryland ✔️ How bankruptcy filings complicate workouts ✔️ Strategies like Deed in Lieu, discounted payoffs, and foreclosure ✔️ Why borrower cooperation is everything Whether you’re new to lending or a seasoned investor, this episode will give you real-world insight into navigating distressed loans and finding profitable exits. 👇 Let us know in the comments: How would YOU handle this situation? ✅ Please like, subscribe, and share! ✅ Are you a new or experienced private lender or hard money lender?

7 Questions To See If You Can Fund Their Deal #272

7 Questions To See If You Can Fund Their Deal #272 In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, Jason breaks down a proven origination scripting process used to evaluate thousands of private lending deals—quickly, efficiently, and conversationally. Whether you're new to private lending or looking to streamline your borrower screening process, this episode gives you the exact framework to determine in minutes whether you can fund a deal or not. Learn the 7 key qualifying questions that every lender should ask—and how to weave them naturally into conversation without sounding like you’re reading from a checklist. 🔑 In this episode, you'll learn: * The 7 essential questions to ask to qualify a borrower quickly * How to build rapport while still taking control of the call * How to identify red flags in construction costs, purchase price, or ARV * What the borrower’s answers reveal about experience, credit, and capital * How to screen for financial readiness (even when they don’t say it outright) * Why taking control early avoids time-wasting storytelling * The importance of focusing on your criteria—not just any borrower who wants a loan 💡 Pro Tip: Stop trying to make every deal work. Just because a borrower accepts your terms doesn’t mean you should fund their project. Learn how to filter fast and move on when it’s not a fit. Whether you’re handling origination yourself or training a team, this episode gives you a repeatable method to qualify deals fast—while staying professional and conversational. ✅ Please like, subscribe, and share! ✅ Are you a new or experienced private lender or hard money lender?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
