  • PLP-108: Passive Investing: Private Lending Through Brokers And Hard Money Lenders With Jason DeBono
    Perhaps nothing could be as passive as letting others do the work for you. When it comes to passive investing, the easiest way to get into private lending is to loan your money to a hard money lender and allow them to do their magic. Guest, Jason DeBono from NuView Trust Company, is someone who uses this as his own personal strategy, and he sits down with host, Keith Baker, to share his whys and hows with us. He explains his process from having the money in a self-directed IRA to making contact with the hard money lender or brokers, as well as some of his investment strategies in terms of self-directed IRA and cryptocurrencies. Plus, Jason then provides a couple of great wisdom and advice on working with lenders and borrowers and how to have more skin in the game.

  • PLP-106: What You Don’t Know About Subordinate Lien Investing With Jim Maffuccio
    The number one rule in real estate investing is return of investment. That is, for every dollar that goes out, you want to get it back, if not, more. That is why people just starting with real estate investing stay away from subordinate liens. But what really are subordinate liens? On today’s show, Keith Baker talks to Jim Maffuccio about subordinate liens and how he got started in this world of distressed second liens. The Founder and Principal of Aspen Funds, Jim’s role includes identifying and developing key investment opportunities currently focused on distressed residential real estate debt, as well as leading efforts in business development, building and maintaining key relationships with hedge funds, note buyers, and sellers, and key service providers in the mortgage note industry. If you want to know if investing in subordinate liens is the right path for you, you wouldn’t want to miss this episode.

  • PLP-105: Humility. Honesty. Vulnerability

    What is up Lender Nation?

    Greetings and welcome to the Private Lender Podcast, I’m your host Keith Baker and you are listening to episode 105.

    This podcast is the only one of its kind dedicated to teaching everyday people (just like you and me) how to prosper with the most passive form of real estate investing known to humankind, while giving tips and ideas that can help keep your money safe – with Private Lending.

    Look, it’s just this simple: If you’re looking for practical tips and advice on being a successful Private Lender, on how to create wealth without banks or wall street, then you are in the right place. But if want to learn from my mistakes so you can avoid them and prosper much quicker - well then pull up a chair and pour yourself a drink and get ready to take notes my friend, because the Private Lender Podcast is made just for you!

    Let just start by saying I’m not sure where today’s episode will end up, but I need to produce an episode – I’ve been stuck in the creation process recently and I think I know why:

    I don’t want to talk about private lending – with all the shit going on in the world, I’m not really in the mood. I’d honestly rather talk about current events other things that don’t fit the scope of this podcast – but these topics are not my expertise, so I prefer to look to others for inspiration.

     

    Last episode I played John Coltrane’s Alabama on the podcast and Youtube + Facebook flagged it for having a copyright. So this time I’ll just put the links up on the show notes page so I don’t get censored.

    So let me run down my recent list of people I have relied upon for perspective:

    [caption id="attachment_2917" align="aligncenter" width="300"] John Coltrane[/caption]

    1 – John Coltrane – even if you don’t know what the song Alabama is about, it is extremely haunting.

    Alabama

     

    [caption id="attachment_2926" align="aligncenter" width="201"] Billie Holiday[/caption]

    2 – Just like Lady Day (Billie Holiday) and her song Strange Fruit. Listen to it and tell me it doesn’t screw with your head: Strange Fruit

    These two musicians wrote and performed the truth with humility, honesty and vulnerability.

    The remaining two individuals are still alive and working in America. I follow both of these men because they are outspoken, and I don’t always like or agree with what they say – but I always respect what they say, and I will make the time to listen to them. Through their content they have insured that I respect them as people – people who work hard, who have opinions and emotions. No different than me and you.

     

    The first person whose content I would like to share with you is from the great Dave Chapelle and his Youtube recording entitled “8:46”. I don’t recommend this to you for the laughter, because there are only a couple of belly-jiggling funny parts. This is real. Watch it.

    Today will be a very short episode as I do not have much to say.  But I've decided to let the music of John Coltrane speak for me, but really for so many others. . .

  • Checking In on ya'all!

    Hey Lender Nation!

    I just wanted to pop in your ears and say that I hope you and yours are well, safe and keeping sane!

    I don't have a full episode ready for this week, but I hope you enjoyed last week's Episode 100 with Dr. Steven Kaufman.

    When I started out, I had only sketched out enough topic material for roughly 45 episodes, and now I have released 100. Not every episode has been a classic but that is my goal with each future episode. I have made it this far and I want to go a lot further. Because you listen and connect with me I want to thank you for letting me achieve 100+ episodes - I greatly appreciate it!

    I'll see you on the other side of this pandemic!

    -Keith
