Welcome to The Lenders Playbook. Your resource for all things private lending, real estate, and entrepreneurship.  In today’s episode, I sit down with Greg Herlean, Founder of Horizon Trust, to talk about how investors can take control of their financial future using Self-Directed IRAs. And how Greg at a very young age was able to raise a significant amount of capital for his real estate projects. Greg breaks down what a Self-Directed IRA is, how it’s different from traditional retirement accounts, and why it’s such a powerful tool for real estate investors and private lenders.  e dive into the benefits, the risks, and even real-life examples of people who’ve used this strategy to grow their wealth.  Whether you’re raising capital, lending, or just getting started in real estate investing, this conversation will give you practical steps and inspiration to put your money to work in more innovative ways.
