Iām excited to announce Mastering Private Money Lendingāa practical book and companion system for people who want to approach private real-estate lending with greater discipline, structure, and confidence.
Private lending involves much more than writing a check. A lender must evaluate the borrower, property, project, repayment plan, loan structure, closing process, servicing, and changing risks throughout the life of the loan.
The Mastering Private Money Lending system follows that work from the first borrower conversation through final payoff and post-loan review.
Inside the book:
⢠A 12-step First-Loan Roadmap⢠Four disciplined decision gates⢠A six-part professional lending workflow⢠Three worked loan case studies⢠Practical guidance for underwriting, structuring, closing, servicing, monitoring, and resolving loans
Purchasers will also receive access to an educational companion library with practical tools and templates, including a loan calculator, credit memo, rehabilitation budget, draw request form, inspection record, portfolio dashboard, lender decision matrix, and more.
This is not a promise of easy or risk-free returns. Private lending involves real riskāincluding default, fraud, legal expense, illiquidity, foreclosure expense, and possible loss of principal. The purpose of this book is to help lenders slow down, ask better questions, document their reasoning, work with qualified professionals, and recognize when a loan should be declined.
The book is moving toward publication, and the launch list is now open.
