The Lending Industry's #1 Problem -

The Lending Industry's #1 Problem - #307

Warren Buffett once said there are three things that can take someone down in business: ladies, liquor, and leverage—but really, just leverage. In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, Chris and Jason dive deep into what they call the #1 issue in private lending and real estate finance: over-leverage.

From 100% financing and high LTVs to institutional capital flooding the market, this episode breaks down how risky lending practices are hurting both lenders and investors—and what smart operators are doing instead.

💡 You’ll Learn:
Why over-leverage leads to losses for lenders and borrowers alike
How to compete with 100% financing “jokers” while protecting your capital
Real-world examples of when leverage destroys deals
Smart underwriting practices for private lenders
What seasoned investors know about balancing growth and risk

Whether you’re a private lender, hard money lender, or real estate investor, this conversation will give you practical insights into safer, more sustainable lending.
