Using Private Money to Fund Deals & Growth

In this finale of our Financing & Funding Series, Suzanne and I tackle one of the most powerful tools in real estate investing – private money loans. If you’ve ever felt like the lender holds all the cards, this episode is for you.
We cover why private money is so attractive, how to find the right lending partners, and most importantly, how to position yourself as a serious borrower so that lenders love working with. You’ll learn how to build real relationships, prepare your paperwork like a pro, avoid red flags, and unlock a repeatable funding process that fuels long-term growth.
Whether you’re closing your first deal or scaling to 100+ units, this episode is loaded with strategy, practical advice, and real talk about how to get better, faster funding with less friction!
