Most people who lose everything in a real estate crash never come back. Chris Prefontaine did. And the way he did it will completely change how you think about building wealth through property.In this episode of The Proven Entrepreneur Show, host Don Williams sits down with Chris Prefontaine, founder of Smart Real Estate Coach and one of the most respected names in creative real estate investing across the United States. Chris has spent over 34 years in the real estate business. He built homes, ran a Realty Executives franchise, sold his brokerage to Coldwell Banker in 2000, and was riding high until 2008 hit him like a freight train.The crash wiped him out completely. We are talking about going from a waterfront home overlooking the harbor in Newport, Rhode Island to a 976 square foot apartment. No money. Destroyed credit. Starting over at zero. Most people would have walked away from real estate forever. Chris did not. He rebuilt using a completely different set of rules: no bank loans, no personal guarantees, and no more getting paid once on a deal like he was running on a treadmill.That thinking became the Three Payday System, a federally trademarked model that structures every deal to generate three separate income events: money at the transaction, monthly income like a rental property, and a final cash-out payday when the deal closes. One deal. Three paydays. No bank required.Chris also shares the story of a condominium conversion project in Providence, Rhode Island that nearly finished him for good. Units selling at 170,000 dollars became impossible to move at 52,000 dollars overnight. He carried that weight for a decade and came out of it with one rule he teaches before anything else: never sign a personal guarantee on a deal. Not ever.He also gives three concrete steps for anyone starting in real estate today: pick one niche you can stand behind completely, find a mentor who has survived real market cycles, and commit to that path for three to seven years without chasing the next shiny opportunity. Straightforward advice that applies to any industry, not just real estate.This is not a motivational episode built on vague inspiration. It is an honest conversation between two experienced entrepreneurs about what actually works when the market turns against you.Ready to explore creative real estate investing?

Owner Financing & Note Investing Podcast with Dawn Rickabaugh
In this episode, Dawn shares her passion for owner financing and note investing as a way to create financial freedom outside traditional banks and Wall Street. She emphasizes that a private secondary market for mortgage notes allows sellers to offer financing and still access liquidity, creating a parallel real estate system that keeps more money within communities. One of the case discussions highlights how investors can structure deals without banks, benefiting buyers, sellers, and investors through flexible, win-win arrangements. One investor (Ken) shares his strategy of selling properties via owner financing to reduce management responsibilities while generating steady income, even offering favorable terms to help buyers succeed. The conversation reinforces that many real estate deals can be done creatively without traditional lending, and that fairness, flexibility, and real-life circumstances often drive why people choose owner financing.Listen to the rest of the episode over at CitizensOfTheRealm.com
Send us Fan MailThe hardest part of running a community association right now is that the bills are getting bigger while the margin for error is getting smaller. Insurance costs keep climbing, buildings are aging, milestone inspections and reserve funding expectations persist, and boards are being asked to approve projects that can cost millions of dollars. So how do you fund critical repairs without triggering financial chaos for owners or inviting fraud and mismanagement? In this week's episode of Take It To The Board, host Donna DiMaggio Berger sits down with Meghan Hallinan, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of National HOA and Property Management Banking at BankUnited, to get a lender's view of community association financing. Donna and Meghan walk through how community association loans really work when there is no physical collateral, why incoming assessments and the community's financial track record matter so much, and what red flags can stop a deal in its tracks. They also explain why banks look beyond a single project and want to understand your reserve study, your upcoming capital plan, and whether your owners can absorb the budgetary increase. They also dig into the operational side: draw schedules on construction-style funding, the role of project managers and inspections, and how boards can avoid common breakdowns when leadership changes mid-project. Then Donna and Meghan shift to risk and controls, including the difference between a term loan and a line of credit for HOAs on balanced budgets, how litigation can affect lending decisions, what to know about the Fannie Mae's “blacklist,” and the fraud prevention tools every association should treat as non-negotiable, including positive pay and ACH controls. If you serve on a board, manage communities, or advise associations, this conversation will help you build a realistic financing plan and protect your funds at the same time. Conversation Highlights:How banks' views of community associations have shifted—and what's driving the changeWhat lenders evaluate first—before the numbers even come into playThe biggest misconceptions boards have about borrowing—and why they matterCommon deal breakers: delinquencies, underfunded reserves, governance issues, and deferred maintenanceThe Fannie Mae Blacklist explained—and what it really means for your communityLoan vs. line of credit: how to choose the right financing toolWhy reserve funding is under increased scrutiny—and how it impacts borrowingWhat a “financially responsible” board looks like from a lender's perspectiveThe most common fraud red flags banks are seeing in community associationsInternal controls every association should have—and where boards often fall shortHow banks can partner with associations to help prevent fraudNon-negotiable best practices to safeguard association fundsWhat boards should be doing now to become more attractive borrowersThe mindset shift every board needs when it comes to financial decision-makingRelated Links:Podcast: Show Me the Money: Investment Strategies with Michael Coady and Kenny Polcari of Slatestone WealthOnline Class: Budgeting & ReservesResource: 5 Ways HOAs Can Prevent Financial Fraud
“Technicals for high yield post-Covid have been very strong, with pretty limited net new supply, minimal downgrades, strong demand given elevated base rates and pretty reasonable credit spread,” says John McClain, Goldman Sachs Asset Management's global co-head of High Yield and Bank Loans. “We're seeing some net new supply from areas like data-center debt,” and “large LBO bonds that are coming over the next couple of weeks, in conjunction with a couple of decent sized cap stacks migrating to high yield will probably lead to some indigestion in the marketplace.” McClain joins Bloomberg Intelligence's Noel Hebert on the latest Credit Crunch podcast to discuss data-center vs. software issuance, private credit knock-on effects and where to find value in the current market. The Credit Crunch podcast is part of BI's FICC Focus series.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news of plenty of gritty data, but none of it really amounting to anything significant.Actual US initial jobless claims rose +32,000 last week to 331,000. But that was a lesser rise than seasonal factors would suggest so they are taking that as a 'win'. There are now 2.31 mln people on these benefits, up from 2.27 mln this time last year and that is a post-pandemic high. (Financial markets prefer the seasonally-adjusted data, even if that doesn't actually reflect the impact on real people.)The New York Fed's Empire State factory survey rose in January on a modest rise in new orders, putting behind it the November dip. It was a very similar story for the Philly Fed factory survey which rose in January for the first time in four months.The January update to the Fed Beige Book saw overall economic activity increasing at a slight to modest pace in eight of the twelve Federal Reserve Districts, with three Districts reporting no change and one reporting a modest decline. This marks an improvement over the last three report cycles where a majority of Districts reported little change. Employment was little-changed. But cost pressures due to tariffs were a consistent theme almost everywhere.In the US rural economy, the rejection of US farm goods internationally is causing exceptionally tough times. Banks are refusing to lend because borrower prospects are so poor. It's an existential crisis for many. Far from the 'great again' promise, it is shaping up to be a rural disaster.Indian exports rose in December, but the gain was marginal. But trade with the US is little affected with exports to the US down just -1% since Trump's swingeing tariffs on India. For the full year, India had a trade deficit of -US$305 bln, a notable rise from 2024. India is no China trade behemoth - yet.Chinese banks extended ¥910 bln in new loans in December, sharply higher than the unusually low ¥390 bln in November. A year ago, the December level was ¥990 bln but at least this year it was above market expectations of ¥800 bln. New bank lending in China has been at unusually low levels for more than six months now. To encourage more, the central bank has lowered interest rates on targeted rural and SME lending. It also unveiled a ¥1 tln (NZ$250 bln) relending facility for private enterprises.The inability of some Australian state governments to repair their balance sheets after the pandemic free-spending is worrying at least one credit rating agency. S&P is warning NSW and Queensland in particular that they are now at greater risk of a downgrade from their AA+ rating. Heavy infrastructure spending and rising entitlement claims are hurting, as well as the political reluctance to raise taxes.And staying in Australia, their consumer inflation expectations came in at 4.6% in January, little changed from the 4.7% in December. Households still see elevated price pressures and has been at this general level for more than eight months. (Official November CPI was 3.4% and the December update comes on January 28, 2026.)Global container freight rates slipped -4% last week, ending a string of five consecutive rises. Most of that was driven by retreats in the China-US trade. This index is now -39% lower than year-ago levels. The bulk cargo rates fell sharply this week, down -13% to be +44% higher than year ago levels.The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.16%, up +2 bps from this time yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$4603/oz, and down -US$10 from yesterday. Silver is still at US$91.50/oz, up +US$4.50/oz.American oil prices are sharply lower from yesterday at just under US$59/bbl and down -US$2.50, while the international Brent price is now at US$63.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is down a bit less than -10 bps from yesterday, now at just over 57.4 USc. Against the Aussie we are down -40 bps at 85.7 AUc. Against the euro we are up +20 bps at just on 49.5 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today just over 61.5, and down -10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$96,711 and down -0.7% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/- 1.2%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.

They have a massive investment arm managing billions in renewable energy. And they've pulled off what everyone else says is impossible: growing while cutting emissions.Jesper Brodin is an IKEA man through and through.He knows it inside and out, every product line, every market, every challenge.At 26, he was the only person who applied to run IKEA Pakistan.Thirty years later, he's been leading the 40-billion-euro Swedish giant with 170,000 employees for eight years through a pandemic, geopolitical chaos, war, and hyperinflation.In 2020, IKEA wasn't selling online.Six weeks later, all stores had gone digital.A two-year plan compressed into 42 days. 55,000 days of closure worldwide and a turnover that fell by only 4%.The company even made a profit, to the point of repaying all the state aid it received during the crisis.But his biggest achievement might be proving the trade-off is a myth.Under his leadership, IKEA grew by 24% and bet 4.2 billion euros on renewable energy.An attempt to prove that a furniture giant can grow without proportionally increasing its environmental footprint.In this episode, Jesper reveals:How do you grow without ever taking a bank loan?Why designing a €19 chair that requires more excellence than a €300 oneHow to digitize a several billion company in 6 weeks instead of 2 yearsWhy hierarchy is the enemy of speed and what they do about itThe IKEA's "side" businesses that are worth billionsA masterclass in leadership and sustainability with a CEO who spent 30 years proving that business success and planetary responsibility aren't opposites, but fuel for each other.You can contact Jesper on Linkedin.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : First day on the job: a kidnapping00:13:10 : How do you know it's time to quit?00:23:31 : The pandemic that digitized IKEA in six weeks00:35:37 : The CEO who does the dishes / Nothing is slower than hierarchy00:48:12 : Sustainability doesn't have to cost more01:05:24 : The bookshelf that explains how IKEA works01:17:05 : The democratic design formula01:26:30 : The blueprint for opening an IKEA store01:43:34 : The side business worth billions01:52:17 : The car-based model evolves02:02:35 : Regrets of inactionWe referred to previous GDIY episodes : #510 - Carole Benaroya - Kujten - La reine du cachemire#496 - Sébastien Kopp - VEJA - Faire du business autrement#467 - Christel Heydemann - Orange - Garder le cap pour réussir dans un marché en rupture permanente#461 - Sébastien Bazin - PDG du groupe Accor - Diriger un groupe coté en bourse sans ordinateur#234 - Amandine Merle Julia - Plum Living - Pimper IKEA pour proposer un design d'intérieur accessible à tousA few recent episodes in English : #500 - Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn, Paypal - How to master humanity's most powerful invention#487 - VO - Anton Osika - Lovable - Internet, Business, and AI: Nothing Will Ever Be the Same Again#475 - VO - Shane Parrish - Farnam Street - Clear Thinking: The Decision-Making Expert#473 - VO - Brian Chesky - Airbnb - « We're just getting started »#452 - VO - Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn, Paypal - L'humanité 2.0 : Homo technicus plus qu'Homo sapiens#437 - James Dyson - Dyson - “Failure is more exciting than success”#431 - Sean Rad - Tinder - How the swipe fever took over the worldWe spoke about :The Billy bookcase has sold 60 million copiesIKEA Ranks as World's Sixth Largest Food ChainReading Recommendations :Fifi BrindacierInterested in sponsoring Generation Do It Yourself or proposing a partnership ?

With one quote, JP Morgan's CEO Jamie Dimon created a mini-firestorm even if in this case, anyway, he was just saying what everyone is thinking.

When a Fortune 100 company needs billions, the choice between issuing corporate bonds and securing a bank loan is a critical strategic dilemma. It's not just about the lowest interest rate; it's about control, public scrutiny, risk, and scale.In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we provide a strategic map for corporate finance professionals, dissecting the trade-offs, mechanics, and real-world scenarios that drive this foundational funding decision.This episode covers:The Three Paths to Debt: We break down the mechanisms of Traditional Bank Loans (speed, flexibility, but strict covenants), Syndicated Loans (group effort for big-ticket financing), and Corporate Bonds (massive scale, public scrutiny, long tenor).The Gatekeepers: The fundamental role of Credit Ratings (Moody's, S&P) in dictating the price of capital, separating safe Investment Grade issuers from riskier High Yield ("junk") bonds.Strategy in Action: Analysis of how Apple used domestic bonds for tax-efficient share buybacks and how Tesla tapped the high-yield market to fuel its massive early-stage growth when conservative banks were cautious.Crisis Response: Why companies like Delta Airlines and Ford rely on fast, flexible bank loans (revolving credit, syndicated facilities) when public bond markets seize up during a crisis (e.g., COVID-19).The Debt Amplifier: We discuss how debt magnifies outcomes—accelerating growth when fundamentals are strong, but accelerating collapse when WCM is weak (e.g., Toys R Us).The Resilience Framework: Five crucial questions to guide your decision-making, ensuring the structure of your financing (term, covenants, access) is robust enough to withst

The Claremont School Board has authorized a bank loan that will cover some daily expenses as the district faces a $1 to $5 million deficit. Meanwhile another New Hampshire town, Pittsfield, is also facing a budget shortfall of over a million dollars And a federal judge temporarily blocked a state law that would cut funding for schools that pursue diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The decision pushes off a deadline the Department of Education set for when schools need to report if they've had any contracts or policies involving DEI. We discuss these stories and more on this week's edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with Concord Monitor reporters Jeremy Margolis and Sruthi Gopalakrishnan.
Kiwis have racked up more than a billion dollars in green loans for energy efficient items like EVs, solar panels, and heat pumps. BNZ, ASB, and ANZ all lend up to $80 thousand on a 1% interest rate over three years. Massey University Banking Expert Claire Matthews says these are small loans, meaning the banks are pumping them out, while not actually lending a huge amount. She told Mike Hosking customers still have to go through the same process as loans with higher interest rates, and go through affordability checks.

New Zealand banks are being asked to pay up in the next few months. Kiwibank, BNZ, Westpac, ANZ and ASB will need to repay around $9.2 billion in cheap Covid-era loans to the Reserve Bank. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen told Mike Hosking that they have variety of options they can use to repay the money. He says the banks knew when taking out these loans they'd have to pay them back eventually. Olsen told Hosking that if they're not ready to pay them back, they probably don't qualify to be called bankers at this point. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Harnessing Economic Potential Energy (Why we love policy loans for infinite banking) Common financial advice tells us to use cash on hand rather than borrowing, particularly when loan interest exceeds what our money earns. We explore why this thinking falls short and how policy loans through Infinite Banking can build lasting wealth in ways that cash transactions cannot. The discussion reveals how uninterrupted compound growth, combined with maintaining control of your capital, provides superior long-term results compared to traditional cash transactions. We explore why looking beyond short-term interest rate comparisons reveals powerful wealth-building opportunities through policy loans. Through practical examples, including car purchases and real estate investments, we demonstrate why the ability to maintain uninterrupted compound growth while deploying capital creates lasting wealth - an approach that works regardless of short-term interest rate environments. The Compound Growth Advantage: Policy loans allow your money to continue growing uninterrupted in the policy while being deployed elsewhere. This creates multiple streams of returns from the same capital base. Control vs. Banks: Traditional financing puts banks in control of repayment terms, collateral, and consequences of missed payments. Policy loans keep you in control of all aspects of the transaction. Beyond Simple Arbitrage: Short-term interest rate comparisons fail to capture the full value of maintaining control and keeping money working in multiple places simultaneously.

Real Estate Investing With Jay Conner, The Private Money Authority
***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@clarkstcapital/ “Overcoming The 5 Roadblocks Holding You Back With Private Lending”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scBB0I89ons&t=894s In this riveting episode of Raising Private Money podcast, Jay Conner joins Ed Mathews on his Real Estate Underground Podcast where Jay dives deep into overcoming barriers in real estate investing, from sourcing distressed properties to managing investment funds and finding deals in smaller markets!Below, we delve further into the strategies and philosophies Jay Conner has perfected over his long and successful career.Yard Sales: The Secret Source for Hot DealsJay Conner shares a surprisingly effective technique for finding distressed properties before they can be listed by realtors: yard, garage, and moving sales. He advises investors to look in local newspapers or on the Facebook marketplace for yard sale groups. By contacting property owners holding these sales, you could potentially buy distressed properties before they hit the market. These are typically homeowners gearing up for a big move and looking to offload their possessions, translating into motivated sellers eager to make quick deals.The Magic of Human ConnectionEstablishing rapport with potential sellers is crucial. Building trust and discovering their motivations can facilitate better deals. By asking open-ended questions, investors can understand the seller's urgency and needs, allowing for a more tailored negotiation and, ideally, a win-win scenario.Transitioning from Bank Loans to Private MoneyOne of the main hurdles for new real estate investors is funding. Jay Conner's transition from relying on bank loans to harnessing private money is an enlightening story.After losing his lines of credit during the 2009 financial crisis, Jay turned to private money and self-directed IRAs. He successfully raised millions by teaching his local community about the potential of earning high returns safely and securely, without ever directly asking for money.Becoming a Private Money MavenEducating people about interest rates, protection guarantees, and the process of getting their money back is key. This approach not only secures funds but also establishes credibility and trust.Jay highlights the strategy of making "good news calls," where he informs potential lenders about a lucrative investment opportunity without asking for money—just presenting an opportunity they've been waiting for. This proactive and educational approach keeps private lenders engaged and eager to participate.Excelling in Small MarketsJay Conner's success is proof that significant profits are achievable even in small markets. Based in a tiny North Carolina town with a population of just 8,000, Jay averages $82,000 in profit per deal. His strategy revolves around knowing the market well, leveraging both free and paid marketing methods, and networking rigorously.Why Small Markets Can Be GoldminesSmall markets often present less competition, allowing diligent and knowledgeable investors to dominate. Investing in high-demand areas with growing populations albeit smaller populations can offer lucrative opportunities with less stress from cutthroat competitors.Importance of Customer Relationship Management (CRM)Effective lead management is crucial for scaling any real estate business. Jay Conner underscores the importance of using a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to organize and track leads. A CRM helps in maintaining constant communication with potential sellers and private lenders, e
