How Hard Money Lenders SHOULD Finance New Construction Deals - #295 Ground-up construction loans can be some of the riskiest—and most misunderstood—deals in private lending. In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, Jason and Chris break down exactly how experienced hard money lenders approach financing new construction projects the right way. After nearly 18 years, thousands of loans, and managing hundreds of defaults, they've learned that the key to success is structuring deals conservatively to minimize risk while still giving borrowers the capital they need to get the job done. You'll learn: ✅ The four biggest risks of new construction lending (day-one exposure, execution, type of lot, and land pricing) ✅ How to structure deals to protect your capital while keeping borrowers vested ✅ Why ground-up deals can actually resemble heavy rehab loans when done right ✅ Real-world examples of loan structures that work (and ones to avoid) ✅ Why experience and borrower “skin in the game” are non-negotiables If you've been hesitant to dive into new construction lending—or want to expand your portfolio safely—this episode will give you a proven framework to get started responsibly. ✅ Please like, subscribe, and share! ✅ Are you a new or experienced private lender or hard money lender?
