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.

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.
Private Lending Risks in 2026: Loan Defaults and Debt Fund Failures
Q: What best practices should fund managers adopt to prevent crises?
Managers should implement audited financials, third-party fund administration, quarterly reporting, investor hotlines, and regular educational webinars; they should also ensure full disclosure of related-party transactions and have a clear allocation policy to avoid fiduciary breaches.
Inside i Fund Cities: Private Lending Growth, Construction Loans & Market Trends
Q: Give us a summary of how 2025 has been for you so far, and maybe compare to the previous years.
2025 has been strong and in line with the higher end of growth expectations, with activity expanding particularly in the Carolinas, Florida, Texas, and Tennessee, while maintaining steady growth across the portfolio versus a peak in 2022-2023.
Inside Coastal Equity Group: Residential Construction Lending in the Southeast
Q: What are the minimum and maximum loan amounts and the key leverage parameters for rehab and ground-up projects?
Minimums start at $250,000 and maximums at $5 million; leverage varies by tier but up to 95% LTV for certain light renovations in the top tier and 90% LTV for others; for ground-up, typical terms range 12-18 months with extensions available.
