It’s been a while, but here’s an important (and a bit longer!) episode about the legalities and illegalities of hard money financing in Tennessee.

Today you're going to learn about the lender-borrower relationship, the hierarchy of the real estate business, but also about how you can check for the regulations about hard money financing in your own state.

You’ll hear the details of my litigation against two lenders for the breach of contract and R.I.C.O. violations, and I’m also going to introduce you to my all-star legal team that is helping me fight this fight.

And I hope that the results of this legal endeavor will have long-term effects and benefits for all of you investors creators out there.
