Borrowers in Africa and other developing regions are expected to repay $35 billion of Chinese loans this year, with two-thirds of the amount coming from the world's poorest countries. Many of these debts were taken out in the mid-2010s and are now exiting their grace periods, putting enormous pressure on government budgets that were already under strain. But this isn't a problem just for borrowing countries; Chinese creditors are also finding themselves in a difficult bind. If they push too hard to collect on these debts, it could force the most vulnerable countries into default. At the same time, though, they have an obligation to their stakeholders, including Chinese taxpayers, to ensure these obligations are fulfilled. Riley Duke, a research fellow at the Lowy Institute, highlighted the difficult dilemma for both creditor and borrower in a new report on Chinese debt collection. Riley joins Eric & Cobus from Sydney to discuss how both sides of the transaction are responding to this growing challenge.

Shelby Reed with Minnow Loan in Missouri - #281 In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, Jason sits down with Shelby Reed, co-founder of Minnow Loan, a fast-growing private lending company based in Missouri. Shelby shares her journey from real estate investor to full-time private lender, and how she and her partner built Minnow Loan from the ground up in just two years—focusing exclusively on Missouri markets like St. Louis, Kansas City, and Columbia.

Shelby breaks down how she competes with institutional lenders, her commitment to relationship-driven lending, and why she believes staying local has been a strategic advantage.

What You'll Learn: Shelby's path from investor to lender and how Minnow Loan got started Strategies for scaling smart while maintaining control and quality The day-to-day realities of running a small lending business How to prioritize tasks that move loans from “committed” to “funded” Why hand-holding borrowers can be a differentiator in a competitive market Shelby's 5-year vision for growth, sustainability, and consistency Tips on hiring for backend support and improving efficiency Whether you're new to private lending or looking to grow your operation, this conversation is a real-world look at what it takes to build a profitable, purpose-driven lending business—without losing sight of relationships, reputation, and long-term goals.

On today's show we are reporting on a change to financing rules in the US that stand to improve the numbers for multi family apartment projects. We are talking about the HUD financing. This is more difficult financing to get than agency debt like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. But it is superior financing. There are several different loan types. I'm going to focus on the HUD 223F loan, but everything I'm about to say also applies to the HUD 221D4 which is a construction loan combined with a permanent loan. The reason we are talking about it now is the result of a new policy change is part of a new announcement .Under the existing rules you can save up to 0.35% on your annual MIP with the Green MIP Reduction program for HUD 223(f) loans. This also applies to new construction loans like the 221d4.  The policy change eliminates the distinction for Green loans and normalizes the mortgage insurance premium at 0.25% for all multi-family loans. This reduction in rate means that all other things being equal, you could borrow 4% more in loan principal for the same monthly loan payment. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

China has never condemned the invasion, and its government and media have carefully avoided using term “Ukraine War,” opting instead to refer to the war as the “Ukraine crisis,” the “Russia-Ukraine conflict,” or the “special military operation,” a term that echoes Moscow's language. Beijing's approach to the Ukraine War has included support for Russia, a commitment China's own principles, including respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a professed desire for peace.This episode's discussion will focus on China's evolving posture toward the war and China's relationship with Ukraine.

The long awaited pull back in pricing for apartments is here. These properties don't need to necessarily be poorly performing. It's the properties that were financed with bank debt from small local and regional banks. These smaller banks typically offered loans with a 20 year amortization period and if the loan was written five years ago, the 10 year Treasury yields were pretty low at 0.7%. The loan written five years ago would have been priced in the mid 4's. Oh, and here's the important part. It would have been written with a five year term. That means the loan would need to be renewed at current rates in five years and that five year period is up now. The borrower has the option to renew with the lender at the current rate with a new loan. But at today's higher rates, even if the property is performing well, the borrower is likely to be forced to bring additional cash to the table. The situation can be improved by moving out of the local bank financing into agency debt with a longer amortization period. Instead of a 20 year loan, maybe a 25 or 30 year loan will reduce the loan payment enough to make the numbers a little more palatable. --------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)
