We bring back Fund That Flip's CEO and Founder Matt Rodak to give us some branding updates! He talks about the history of the brand, why the Fund That Flip name doesn't really fit anymore, and Matt reveals the new name!Brought to you by: fundthatflip.comProduction team: connversa.comMusic by: Jeremy Blake 

Matt Rodak is the CEO and founder of Fund That Flip, an end-to-end residential real estate lender, SaaS solution, and investment platform that empowers real estate entrepreneurs to create wealth and more value in their communities. After years in commercial property risk management, Matt decided to actualize his passion: real estate. However, he quickly became frustrated with the challenges of getting access to fast, reliable, and sustainable capital to finance his deals. And in 2014, Fund That Flip launched. Fund That Flip's award-winning platform and simple process allow borrowers to get loan commitments within 24 hours and the fastest closing of any hard money lender. Investors can then purchase fractional shares of those loans, historically earning more than 10.8% returns. The Platform and team provide first-class support and industry-leading transparency into every deal, while also offering unprecedented access to an asset class previously dependent on “who you know.” Fund That Flip has grown nearly 300% in the past three years, and to date has originated more than $2.2 billion in loans, with 99.7% of principal returned, and more than 93% repeat borrowers.

And we're back! After a short hiatus we are getting the show going once again and a LOT has happened since we recorded our last episode: two years of some of the most robust real estate markets in recent history, significant world events, supply chain challenges, record demand fueled by government policy, and more. In this episode Matt Rodak brings on Real Estate Investing: Unscripted's new co-hosts Brendan Bennett and David Duggan to share their insights on the current market and discuss predictions of the near future.Brought to you by: fundthatflip.comProduction team: connversa.comMusic by: Jeremy Blake

Most people think investing in real estate sounds appealing, but coming up with a large chunk of cash can be scary. If you don't have that kind of money lying around, it's easy to write off real estate investment altogether. But what if there was a way to invest in real estate with little or no money? In this episode of the Passive Investing Show, J and Ashley are joined by Matt Rodak. They talk about crowdfunding, how it works, and how you can use it to finance your next investment. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Choose the right capital. Build and diversify your portfolio. Manage risks. Structure your pricing carefully. Be open to learning. Episode Highlights: [08:45] Criteria for the Loan They are focused on the single-family asset class and investors who are experienced in scale-up. Usually, they will finance about 85% of the project's total cost to leave the customer some skin in the game. When structuring the loan, manage risk by considering: What is the person paying for the house? Are you buying it right? What's their scope of work? Are they renovating it? What will the ARV be? What will it sell for once it's finished? [12:44] Timeframe of an Investment They try to match the term of the loan and investment to a reasonable amount of time to complete the project. An extension period can be built in. [19:46] Investment Returns Duration and rate may correlate. Because they use general solicitation, they can only take on accredited investors. While there is a loss of principal risk, there is a high probability that they will get most of your money back, but it may take longer than intended. [27:33] Distributions and Taxes Distributions are made monthly. Principal gets returned at the end of the project or maturity date. At the end of the year, their clients will get a 1099-INT from them. [34:20] Matt's Predictions and Advice There's a good legislative framework around crowdfunding. But inflation could affect the strength of the consumers and businesses. Never try to be the smartest person in the room. Always surround yourself with people with different knowledge and perspectives so you can keep learning. Notable Quotes from the Episode: [09:29] “It's like small business lending. And we just happen to have collateral on the back end.” [20:28] “That pricing is going to flow through to our passive investor base based on a number of different criteria that we're looking at, ultimately price for the risk.” [35:40] “Try to never be the smartest guy or gal in the room.” Resources Mentioned: Fund That Flip matt@fundthatflip.com The Passive Investing Show

Matt Rodak is the Founder of Fund That Flip, which provides short term loans for people flipping houses or doing new construction projects. They partner with experienced borrowers who are looking for capital providers to help them scale up their businesses. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: How they run their business in two channels COVID’s impact on the business Controlling what you can control The airplane analogy The crazy trip Matt took with his wife Episode Highlights: About Fund That Flip Fund That Flip finances loans through two channels: a crowdfunding platform where accredited investors can invest as little as $5,000 per deal in our projects, and institutional whole loan buyers, like hedge funds and credit funds as well as insurance companies that also participate and purchase loans they've originated. COVID’s Impact on the Business and The Airplane Analogy During the COVID season in March, the industry got jammed up across the board. They went from originating tens of millions of dollars to ZERO. And there wasn't any light at the end of the tunnel, particularly in April and May. So they just had to control what they can control. They have grown quickly over the past three or four years by 5,000% to 6,000%. They've been on the Inc 500 list for last two years. And it's messy when you're growing that fast. It's like you're building an airplane mid-flight. They've got two options. They either land the airplane and fix everything but risk never getting the airplane off the ground again. Or they can keep flying the plane, piecing different parts on and duct-taping things where things break. One of the fortunate things about COVID is it forced them to land their plane that caused them to stop. And this gave them the opportunity to really look at what parts of their process they could re-engineer, where are their bottlenecks, where are the inefficiencies, and where they're not communicating well as a team. Control What You Can Control They doubled down on their retail side and they found that the retail investors were continuing to look for alternatives to the stock market in real estate. So they almost doubled their retail investor base in three months. They improved their investor experience and their marketing activities.

Matt talks about the power of purpose in your business.

Matt Rodak started his real estate career as a vendor to flippers and rental home buyers. Identifying the need that many of his clients were unable to find a reliable lender for their projects, he conceptualized a tech-focused platform that would originate short-term real estate loans for flippers to buy, rehab and sell residential properties. In 2016, he documented the plan and raised $2MM in venture capital to kick off the business. Since then, Matt and his team have scaled Fund That Flip from just a concept to a 25 person company with offices in Cleveland and New York City, closing millions of dollars in loans and on course to originate over $1B of loans within next 3 years.   In this episode, Matt shares how he came up with the business model that serves both flippers and investors alike. Additionally, he shares his approach to raising capital, serving flippers and driving passive-income creation for his investors.

While luck may play a part, the most successful people are constantly looking for opportunities and paying attention to when opportunities present themselves.

Matt Rodak recently launched a crowdfunding real estate website called Fund that Flip. He talks to us about crowdfunding rules and why it’s beginning to take off in a big way.

Any amount of research into the seemingly eternal-growing market of real estate investment will almost surely make one familiar with Matt Rodak. The 2007 John Carroll grad is the founder and CEO of Fund That Flip, a company which allows anyone to apply for fast and affordable funding in the rehabilitative real estate investment business. The New York based startup had already raised $2 million by April 2016, shortly after graduating from Manhattan's Entrepreneur Roundtable Accelerator in the summer of 2015 and Founder Institute New York prior to that. Fund That Flip finds its niche by bridging the gap between accredited investors and vetted real estate rehab projects in the U.S. On this episode of Ambition Today, Matt Rodak discusses his seemingly inevitable entrepreneurial roots (despite his "best efforts") as the son of a business owner. He explains how his relationship with his father, and him owning his own company before and during college, led to Matt's on-again, off-again kinship with business ownership. Today, Matt capitalizes on the experiences of his youth by taking action to solve the problems he notices in his industry, such as streamlining the loan application process for prospective "flippers".
