What happens when your lending partner takes everything and leaves you with nothing? In this episode, Rich Lennon breaks down a real deal gone wrong involving a private lender who brought in a partner for a $20,000 second-position loan and ultimately wiped them out during foreclosure. The borrower never worked on the property, and the first-position lender foreclosed, recouping their full amount while leaving their partner with nothing.
Rich emphasizes the moral responsibility of those who structure deals, especially when using other people's money (OPM), and highlights how mistakes in loan structure, foreclosure sequence, and partner communication can permanently damage reputations and tax-advantaged accounts, such as self-directed IRAs.
