Lending Money In The Real Estate Game Is 🔑

It's just so fun to be the bank. I still love selling real estate. I love the art of the deal and negotiating and going through the process and, you know, the hunt of finding the deal and working with the client and meeting those people and being really intricately involved in it. Whereas the lending, it is transactional, like you said, so it doesn't give that same full fulfillment. But it's awesome because it provides the type of lifestyle that I want to live. You could be anywhere in the world, no matter what market. People need money all the time. Because I'm an investor, I'm a real estate investor, and I analyze the deal that the borrower brings to me and would like to make sure they're going to be successful and almost consult on the deal, like, hey, you shouldn't do this deal. There's probably not enough skin in the game to do this deal, or you're under budget on your numbers or whatever. And so I still get to feel like I'm doing the deal a little bit because I flipped houses, I've done renovations, and I know how difficult it is. Yeah, but the lender gets paid no matter what.
