How We Stay Top of Mind With Real Estate Investors (Our Follow-Up Process)- #326

In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, Jason and Chris break down the exact follow-up process they use to stay top of mind with real estate investors—sometimes for years before a deal closes.

They explain why private lending is a long game and how consistent follow-up through email marketing, text messages, calls, and content turns cold leads into funded loans over time. You'll learn how to build and nurture a lender or borrower database, why most deals don't convert immediately, and how staying visible pays off—sometimes even 10 years later.

The episode also walks through the three core email types they use every month:

• Content Share emails

• Deal Spotlights (case studies)

• Call-to-Action emails that drive applications

If you're a private lender or hard money lender looking to improve lead nurturing, borrower follow-up, and long-term deal flow, this episode lays out a simple, repeatable system that works.

How Private Lenders Can Get A+ Opportunities - #325

In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, Jason and Chris break down how private and hard money lenders can consistently create A+ lending opportunities—even when working with borrowers who don't fit the traditional "A borrower" profile.

Rather than chasing high-volume institutional borrowers, this conversation focuses on how private lenders can structure safer, more profitable deals by properly underwriting collateral, character, capacity, and credit. Learn how experienced lenders turn so-called "B borrowers" into strong, low-risk opportunities through smart leverage, cash requirements, and deal structuring.

This episode also dives into why marketing equals portfolio quality, how playing the numbers game leads to better loans, and why private lenders shouldn't try to compete with institutional capital—but instead position themselves as the ideal Plan B lender.

Topics covered include:

• What truly defines an A+ lending opportunity

• A borrowers vs. B borrowers (and why labels can be misleading)

• Structuring low-LTV deals for maximum downside protection

• The 4 C's of underwriting: collateral, character, capacity, and credit

• Why leverage—not borrower quality—is often the biggest risk

• How marketing drives deal flow and portfolio strength

• When and why private lenders should pass on deals

• Real-world examples of turning imperfect borrowers into great loans

If you're a private lender, hard money lender, or real estate investor looking to deploy capital more safely while improving returns, this episode offers practical insights you can apply immediately.
