In this episode of Uncontested Investing, Nate Zielinski and Suzanne Andresen sit down with Phil Ganz, founder of Next Wave Mortgage, to discuss the lessons behind his 25-year career and more than a billion dollars in closed loans. Phil explains why patience, discipline, integrity, and attention to detail separate successful investors from those who struggle. He shares his approach to entering new markets, knowing when to walk away from a deal, and building an online presence through domain matching and SEO. The conversation also covers DSCR loans, long-term investment strategies, misconceptions about FHA and conventional financing, and the values Phil brings to Next Wave Mortgage.
