In this episode, I sat down with Sharon to talk private lending, real estate investing, Self-Directed IRAs, whole life policy loans, turnkey rentals, and how to think about capital structure with more intention.

We covered how private lending can allow investors to participate in real estate without owning the property directly, why structure matters, what backs a note, how first lien position works, and why the right operator, paperwork, and collateral are critical.

We also talked about using different vehicles for different jobs: Self-Directed IRAs, whole life insurance, turnkey real estate, and private lending all solve different problems.

Capital has to live somewhere.

The question is whether your strategy matches your goal.
