A podcast about private mortgage lending for residential and commercial real estate investors. It's also known as "hard money lending" or "bridge lending." Most of it is short-term financing with terms less than 2 years, but we also cover long-term loans. We focus on loan origination but also share insights about the capital side of the business.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The State of Private Lending in mid-2026 with Nema Daghbandan
Q: What does the Kiavi-Figure acquisition mean for the industry?
The deal is seen as a strategic alignment of two tech-driven players: Kiavi brings advanced origination tech for RTL, while Figure focuses on a modern secondary market system for loan paper. Together, they potentially accelerate modernization in both origination and capital markets, including exploring blockchain as a method to transfer paper more efficiently.
The State of Private Lending in mid-2026 with Nema Daghbandan
Q: What are you hearing from lenders at this time?
Lenders are experiencing a mixed environment: growth is not as strong as 2025, competition is intensifying, and the key battlefront has shifted from rate competition to factors like LTC/LTV, execution reliability, and the ability to scale across multiple states. There is also a notable divergence between RTL and DSCR dynamics, with RTL volumes softer and DSCR volumes growing but still lagging 2025 levels.
Inside RCN Capital: 2026 Private Lending Trends
Q: Why has Ohio become a top state for lending activity?
Ohio benefits from business-friendly legislation, job growth, and a large pool of legacy housing inventory ripe for rehab and fix-and-flip opportunities, which drives loan volume.
California Bridge Lending with Rubicon Mortgage Fund
Q: With First Republic notes being taken over and JP Morgan stepping in, how has that affected the loans you can take on and the landscape for private lenders?
Many First Republic loans cannot be easily transitioned to new lenders, leaving a niche for private lenders like Rubicon that can price and structure around the new realities; this has increased opportunities for certain loan types, particularly smaller, non-depository and asset-focused financings, while requiring tighter underwriting and faster decision-making.
California Bridge Lending with Rubicon Mortgage Fund
Q: Tell us about the trends you're seeing in the market in Northern California or Southern California as of the last six months.
The market has been moving in a similar rhythm to the last few years with a high volume of transactions but a smaller share meeting traditional debt criteria; refinances are tougher, and cash-in refinances are common, while extensions and longer payoff horizons are now more typical. Competition remains strong, but lenders are adjusting to higher cap rates and a slower pace of new deals.
