Peter Mingils has the opportunity to interview Paula Suhan on this special episode of Building Fortunes Radio. The story behind Paula Suhan and how she got started as a Real Estate Investor is sincerely so fascinating you will enjoy every minute of this episode.
Here is some information about Paula Suhan:
Paula Suhan serves as a Biblical Business & Financial Stewardship Educator and Private Lender (Asset-Based). I am the founder of Paulas365, a faith-driven platform built on the belief that stewardship, integrity, and obedience to God's principles should guide business and financial decisions every day—not just occasionally.
Paula's role is educational and discipleship-focused. I provide biblical principles, preparation, and guidance to help individuals gain clarity and steward their responsibilities with integrity, wisdom, and prayerful discernment. I do not offer legal, tax, or investment advisory services, but walk alongside individuals as they seek to make decisions in proper order, trusting the Lord to direct each step.
This same philosophy is the foundation of Paula's writing and teaching, which encourages intentional, faith-led decision-making in business and finance.
The heart behind Paulas365 is rooted in Scripture:
"Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”
Paula's work centers on clarity before capital, wisdom before action, and legacy over liability. Paula's does not promote quick wins or speculative thinking, but rather thoughtful stewardship that honors God and serves others well.
Faith, Finance, and Resilience with Paula Suhan
In this recent episode of Building Fortunes Radio, host Peter Mingles sits down with Paula Suhan, a faith-driven investor, private lender, and the founder of Paula's 365 Capital. This deep dive audio interview offers listeners a profound look into Paula's unique journey from a tenacious teenager to a certified private money broker who prioritizes biblical stewardship and long-term client success over quick commissions.
From a 13-Year-Old Debt Collector to Real Estate Mogul Paula's entrepreneurial journey began early, inspired by her mother, who was a soft-spoken private lender and investor. At just 13 years old, Paula took the initiative to track down a borrower who had owed her mother $3,000 for three years. Using a mix of firmness and reasoning, she successfully collected the debt, which her mother allowed her to keep for future investments. By age 18, she purchased her first home with the help of a $30,000 loan from her mother. Over the next decade, her ambitions skyrocketed as she built a portfolio of real estate, retail stores, and joint ventures.
The Fall and The Faith-Driven Rebuild However, her aggressive expansion eventually led to devastating financial losses. Due to overleveraging, untrustworthy partnerships (including business ties with her late husband), and a lack of proper legal structure, Paula lost millions of dollars. The COVID-19 pandemic compounded these hardships, bringing severe business challenges and the tragic loss of her mother, which forced Paula to rebuild her life and career entirely from the ground up.
This humbling experience profoundly shifted her perspective. She realized that her previous ambitions lacked spiritual surrender, so she completely restructured her approach to business. Today, as a certified private money broker, she partners with large investment pools to offer secure, structured lending. Unlike predatory merchant cash advance lenders who trap businesses with unsecured debt, Paula strictly deals in asset-based real estate loans, refusing to represent high-risk, uncollateralized financial products.
More Than a Lender: A Financial Coach and Counselor What truly sets Paula apart is her commitment to coaching and educating her clients. Before approving a loan, she meticulously analyzes the deal to ensure it makes financial sense for the borrower. For example, she advises rental property investors to maintain a 15% to 20% income cushion over their mortgage to safely cover property management and emergency maintenance. If a fix-and-flip project lacks a clear exit strategy, Paula will turn down the deal rather than push a loan just to collect a commission.
The "365” in her company's name, Paula's 365 Capital, reflects her commitment to living out her faith and practicing wise financial stewardship 365 days a year. Beyond her business, Paula is a homeschooling mother who instills these same entrepreneurial values, biblical teachings, and life skills into her children—who have even started helping her with tenant collections.
