One of the largest hard money lenders in Boston has a secret. He doesn't borrow a dollar himself.

Boston's largest hard money lender has fifteen years of underwriting behind him — and a counterintuitive rule: "Where do I get the money?" is the wrong first question. Capital is everywhere. Great deals are rare. In this debut episode, Hussein breaks down what he actually looks for before wiring capital, why most passive investors ask the wrong questions, and how hard money lending works from the lender's side of the table. Whether you're a physician, engineer, or professional exploring your first passive real estate position, this conversation gives you the operator's lens before you ever sign a PPM.
