If you've been wondering what the best investment is in today’s market especially in a world of uncertainty, market volatility, and failed syndications this episode is for you. I sat down with Heather Dreves, Director at Central Lending, to talk about one of the most underutilized (yet powerful) wealth-building strategies out there: investing in debt.

We’re not talking about going into debt. We’re talking about investing like the bank backed by collateral, with predictable monthly returns, and with far less exposure to the kind of turbulence that equity investors have faced over the last few years.

Heather brings nearly two decades of experience and has helped manage over $300 million in this space. She breaks down the exact mechanics of how debt investments work, why they’re outperforming many traditional vehicles right now, and how investors (including those who aren’t accredited) can get started with either individual notes or a debt fund.

We also go deep into:

- Why debt investors get paid first (and what that means during a downturn) - How private lending differs from banks and why it’s more secure for investors - What “first lien position” really means for your money - What happens when a borrower stops paying (hint: you still win) - Why loan-to-value (LTV) matters more than interest rate - The difference between passive investors in debt funds and hands-on promissory note buyers - How Central Lending is underwriting deals more conservatively than institutional lenders

This episode is perfect for you if:

- You’ve experienced losses in syndications or real estate deals and want a safer alternative - You’re sitting on capital from the sale of a business or practice and want stable cashflow - You’re looking for double-digit returns backed by real assets - You’re just tired of the Wall Street rollercoaster and want predictability

Whether you’re an accredited investor with $100K to place, or you’re just starting with $40–50K and want to learn the ropes of individual notes, Heather breaks it all down with clarity, transparency, and integrity.

This is the kind of conversation that will shift your entire mindset about investing.

🎧 Listen now and learn why debt investing might be the smartest place to put your money right now.
