Vision is common. The discipline to execute is rare. Do you have it? In today's Episode, hosts Clark Lunt and David Shaw sit down with Shaye Wali, a former tennis champion turned entrepreneur. Shaye details his extraordinary transition from the world of professional sports to the fast-paced sectors of private lending and software development. As the founder and CEO of Baseline, a revolutionary software platform, he shares the pivotal moments and challenges that shaped his career, offering valuable insights for aspiring entrepreneurs. Shaye's story is one of focus and resilience. He recounts the immense dedication required to rebuild the tennis program at Tulane University, a testament to his early leadership and determination and desire to travel the road less paved. This experience, he explains, laid the groundwork for his future endeavors. Following his passion for finance, he began his career at Morgan Stanley, where he gained a deep understanding of capital markets and real estate investments. However, the entrepreneurial spirit beckoned. Shaye identified a significant gap in the private lending market, an industry often bogged down by inefficiencies and outdated processes. This realization was the catalyst for his move into entrepreneurship. He emphasizes that the ability to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of real estate and private lending was crucial to his success. This journey culminated in the creation of Baseline, a cutting-edge software designed to streamline the entire private lending process. "We built Baseline to empower lenders," Wali states. "Our goal is to provide a seamless, efficient platform that allows them to manage their operations, from loan origination to servicing, with greater ease and accuracy." The software aims to enhance efficiency, improve data management, and ultimately help private lenders scale their businesses. Shaye's narrative serves as a powerful example of how skills honed in one discipline can be successfully transferred to another. His journey from the tennis court to the boardroom highlights the universal importance of focus, the courage to pivot, and the drive to innovate. For those in the real estate and private lending industries, Shaye Wali's story is not just inspiring; it's a roadmap for navigating the complexities of the modern financial world.Connect with Shaye Wali: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shayewali/ or https://www.baselinesoftware.com/TakeawaysShaye's journey from tennis to tech showcases resilience.Corporate experience at Morgan Stanley shaped the entrepreneurial mindset.The importance of focus in achieving success.Transitioning from employee to entrepreneur requires courage.Private lending offers scalability and flexibility.The evolution of private lending is driven by technology.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Shaye Wali and His Journey03:27 From Pakistan to Florida: The Early Years05:28 Tennis and the Path to College06:58 Building a Tennis Program at Tulane09:46 Transitioning to Morgan Stanley12:00 The Realization of Entrepreneurial Spirit14:38 The Shift to Real Estate17:20 Navigating the Real Estate Market19:48 The Move to Private Lending22:19 Burning the Boats: Taking the Leap24:36 The Evolution into Private Lending30:11 The Journey into Private Lending35:19 Scaling the Private Lending Business40:10 Transitioning to Software Solutions46:11 The Future of Private Lending and Software49:56 Rapid Fire Insights and Final Thoughts58:30 Introduction and Call to Action59:01 Introduction to Burn Your Boats Wealth Podcast59:30 Engagement and Community Building Hosted on Acast.

Mortgage Company VS Investment Vehicle - #275

How to Survive the Coming Real Estate Storm – What Sean Kelly-Rand Learned at Lehman   For the experienced real estate investor or sponsor, this is a masterclass in what really matters.   When Lehman Brothers unraveled in 2008, it exposed a truth that many in the real estate world still prefer to ignore: even the most sophisticated capital structures can implode when the cost of capital and access to liquidity are misunderstood – or worse, taken for granted. My podcast/YouTube show guest today, Sean Kelly-Rand, didn't just watch that collapse unfold; he lived through it from inside and the playbook he uses today as the managing partner of RD Advisors is shaped, in part, by that early, formative experience.   His approach offers a deeply pragmatic framework for anyone navigating real estate in today's uncertain climate. In an era of overpromised alpha and fragile capital stacks, Kelly-Rand's doctrine is a study in restraint, structure, and staying power.   From the Heart of Lehman to the Edges of Risk   Kelly-Rand joined Lehman Brothers in 2006, just before the implosion, drawn by its dominance in the bond markets which he saw, even then, as the true engine behind real estate. While most looked to equity investment banks for leadership, he understood that the debt markets were where real decisions were made. His work centered on real estate financing and syndication, with a front-row view of a business model that was, in hindsight, structurally doomed.   Lehman's capital stack had been stretched too far – built on short-term funding to support long-term positions. As the firm accumulated assets, expanding its real estate exposure from $5 billion to over $36 billion, it did so with virtually no cushion. Liquidity was cheap and ubiquitous, but inherently unstable. When securitization markets seized up, those long-term assets could not be offloaded without catastrophic discounts to book value. And because any sale would have forced a full repricing of the entire book, no sale could be tolerated. Lehman was stuck – and the system broke.   That lesson remains central to Kelly-Rand's thinking today. The real issue wasn't the quality of the assets; it was the fragility of the structure behind them. Risk wasn't in the deal. It was in the funding.   Rebuilding from the Ground Up   In the years that followed, Kelly-Rand transitioned from the institutional capital markets to operating in the private lending space. He co-founded RD Advisors not just to chase yield, but also to build a firm capable of weathering downside scenarios – starting with a clean-sheet design of its capital strategy.   The fund today focuses exclusively on senior secured debt, kept short in duration and conservatively underwritten. The business avoids the artificial stability of interest reserves or payment-in-kind structures that mask actual performance. Instead, it emphasizes cash-paying borrowers and short-term duration to preserve optionality and liquidity. Leverage is kept modest by design, with loan-to-value ratios structured around exit values that tolerate declining markets. Crucially, every deal is evaluated with a focus on capital preservation. Underwriting is done not with optimism, but with contingency: would the fund be comfortable owning the asset if they had to should a borrower walk? If the answer is anything but a clear yes, the deal doesn't proceed.   This mentality isn't just prudent, it's essential. The goal is to never rely on someone else's execution for one's own capital security. And that institutional memory from the GFC sits the core of the process.   Avoiding the Illusion of Alpha   Much of what passes for outperformance in today's real estate environment is simply leverage in disguise. Sponsors show high IRRs, but beneath them is a capital structure dependent on favorable refis or asset appreciation that may no longer be achievable. That's not skill, it's exposure.   Kelly-Rand's fund's returns, by contrast, are deliberately boring. They are stable, predictable, and quarterly. It's a feature, not a bug. In fact, Kelly-Rand views volatility as a symptom of poor underwriting or misaligned structure, not a badge of aggressive performance.   He's wary, too, of the growing interest in ‘loan-to-own' strategies, particularly among opportunistic capital looking to buy defaulted notes in the hopes of acquiring assets at a discount. While technically accurate – private credit can convert into equity when things go wrong – he emphasizes that building a business around that premise introduces operational complexity, execution risk, and volatility that neither he nor his investors are seeking.   Today's Market Echoes the Last Crisis   What concerns Kelly-Rand most now is how little has changed in institutional behavior since the last crisis – and how closely today's market echoes that of 2007.   There is the same creeping complacency in the banking system. Institutions are holding loans at par that would clear far below face value if sold today. Marking one loan down would trigger writedowns across the portfolio, and many banks simply can't handle that. Instead, they hold and wait, even as rates rise and deposits become more expensive than the loans on their books. This, too, is unsustainable and, like last time, it's a question not of credit risk, but of duration mismatch and funding fragility. Depositors have not yet realized en masse that their money could be earning 4.5% elsewhere. But when they do, the cost of capital for banks could spike rapidly and the system isn't ready.   Worse still, foreign capital, the marginal buyer that has helped sustain U.S. real estate valuations for decades, may be losing interest. If geopolitical or currency instability weakens demand for U.S. treasuries or assets, long-term rates could drift higher, even if the Fed cuts short-term rates. That shift would have a profound impact on real estate pricing, permanently resetting cap-rate expectations – and values.   A Framework for the Informed Investor   The takeaway for sponsors and investors is stark but empowering: you don't need to predict the next crash, but you must be structurally prepared for it.   Kelly-Rand's fund is an expression of that principle. It's structured to be resilient, not just profitable. Its margins are modest but consistent. Its leverage is low by design. And its underwriting focuses on the downside – not because of fear, but because of discipline. His experience at Lehman Brothers gave him a visceral understanding of how quickly capital evaporates when confidence is lost. What makes his insights so valuable today is not just that he's survived a cycle but that he's operationalized that survival into a repeatable, durable framework.   In a world where risk is increasingly hidden behind optimism and spreadsheets, Sean Kelly-Rand offers a different kind of edge: memory.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@mymenrichard "Private Money Lending with Jay Conner"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTl7M1X3qb4 When it comes to scaling a real estate investing business, one of the biggest challenges investors face is sourcing reliable funding. Traditional routes—think bank loans and institutional finance—often come with red tape, long waits, and restrictive requirements. In a recent Raising Private Money podcast with Richard Lesperance and  Jay Conner, they cracked open the secrets of raising private money—a game-changing alternative for investors looking to close more deals, faster and with greater flexibility.What is Private Money?Put simply, private money refers to funding provided by individual investors rather than banks or hard money lenders. Jay highlights a key distinction: while hard money lenders act as intermediaries between investors and funds, private lenders are direct, one-on-one relationships. These individuals use their liquid capital or retirement accounts (often through self-directed IRAs) to passively invest in real estate, earning a healthy return while the borrower benefits from quick, customizable funding.Jay's Journey from Banks to Private MoneyJay shares his own story: after years of relying on banks, his line of credit was suddenly cut off during the 2008 financial crisis, leaving him scrambling. This “problem” forced him to look for solutions outside the conventional system. A friend introduced him to the concept of private money, and within 90 days, Jay raised over $2 million in new funding—without ever asking for money directly.The secret? Jay adopted the role of a teacher. Instead of pitching or selling, he educated potential lenders about how private money works and the advantages it offered. This educational approach attracted 47 private lenders (and counting), many of whom had never heard of private lending or realized their retirement accounts could be used in this way. Where to Find Private LendersJay breaks it down into three main categories:Your Warm Market: Friends, family, colleagues, and contacts in your phone and social networks.Expanded Network: Connections made through networking, real estate events, and referrals.Existing Private Lenders: Individuals already lending to other investors, often found at self-directed IRA company networking events.According to Jay, over 70% of self-directed IRA holders are interested in loaning money to real estate investors, making these events rich ground for connection.Advantages of Using Private MoneyThe benefits, as Jay enthusiastically outlines, are many:Control: The borrower sets the terms—interest rate, payment frequency, and loan-to-value ratio.Speed: With no bank bureaucracy, deals can close in as little as seven days—a major advantage in a competitive market.No Application Hassles: No credit score checks or drawn-out approval processes.Unlimited Potential: Unlike banks, there's no cap on how much private money you can access or how many deals you fund.Attractive Returns for Lenders: Lenders earn solid, secured returns (often much better than a local bank), creating a true win-win.Is it Safe?Investor and lender protection is paramount. Jay describes several safeguards:Funds are wired directly to the attorney or title company's escrow account, never to the investor personally.Each loan is secured by a mortgage or deed of trust, never unsecured.A conservative loan-to-value (typically 75% of after-repair value) ensures a cushion for market fluctuations.Lenders are listed on insu

***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@BlueCollarWealthClub  "Becoming a Private Lender with Jay Connerl"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-k2ACFciBk  In the world of real estate investing, securing funds efficiently and reliably can be the linchpin to scaling your business. Jay Conner, a seasoned real estate investor and the so-called "Private Money Authority," recently shared his invaluable insights on the Blue Collar Wealth Club podcast with host Jerry Garcia. His journey from banker-dependent investor to private money mogul presents a fascinating story of innovation, resilience, and education.The Turning Point: A Crisis into OpportunityJay's foray into private money was not born out of curiosity but necessity. After six years of relying on traditional bank loans, he faced an unexpected closure of his line of credit in 2009, despite a strong credit history. This abrupt financial crisis pushed him to seek alternative funding methods, leading him to discover private money.In a conversation with a fellow investor, Jay learned about the world of private lending and self-directed IRAs, where individuals can use their retirement funds to invest in real estate for higher returns. This discovery was pivotal. He realized that the key to raising private money lay in educating potential lenders rather than asking for loans.Educate First: The Private Money ProgramJay emphasizes the importance of separating the conversation about potential investments from actual funding requests. His approach is based on teaching individuals about the opportunity to become private lenders. He crafted a comprehensive program that includes competitive interest rates, attractive terms, and robust security measures.By conveying this knowledge through private lender luncheons and one-on-one meetings, Jay effectively secures significant funds without making direct asks. He underscores that desperation has a smell, and by providing information upfront, potential lenders are drawn in by curiosity and interest rather than pressure. This strategy has allowed him to cultivate a network of 47 private lenders, amassing $8.5 million in funds.Building Trust and Offering SecurityFor Jay and his private lenders, trust is paramount. He demonstrates his commitment by securing all loans with real estate, providing a 25% equity cushion to safeguard against market fluctuations. Additionally, lenders are named as mortgagees on insurance policies, ensuring their interests are protected.By acting as the underwriter, Jay guarantees that his deals align with the pre-established terms, eliminating any surprises for lenders. His success in consistently securing private money is rooted in transparency, reliability, and the proactive teaching of financial opportunities.Empowering Business Owners with Private LendingJay extends his insights beyond real estate, suggesting how business owners can leverage private lending. For those seeking to become lenders, he advises knowing the borrower's experience and securing loans wherever possible. For business owners in need of funds, Jay suggests having a well-planned program to present to potential lenders.He highlights the advantage of having funds lined up before they are needed, preventing the desperation-driven pitfalls seen in alternative financing options like merchant cash advances. This approach offers business owners a flexible, lower-cost borrowing option, helping them manage cash flow and growth seamlessly.Beyond Real Estate: A Broader VisionJay's teachings on private money are not confined to real estate. They offer a blueprint for financial empowerment, allow

***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@jerryscarlato "Becoming Resilient, Private Lending, and Your Money Mindset with Jay Conner"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w-a6JPweUk&t=96sReal estate investing often requires substantial capital, and navigating the funding landscape can be daunting for both seasoned and new investors. In the recent episode of the Raising Private Money podcast, Jay Conner joins Jerry Scarlato in the Good Wolf Project podcast where they delve into the nuances of raising private money—a strategy that can redefine your approach to real estate investments. Understanding the Difference: Hard Money vs. Private MoneyIn the world of real estate, financing options are plentiful but can often be confusing. Jay Conner explains a common misunderstanding between hard money and private money. Hard money typically comes from brokers who pool and lend funds from individual investors, charging high interest rates and fees. This traditional route involves jumping through numerous hoops, including credit checks and financial disclosures, which can be time-consuming.Conversely, private money is a more direct transaction, where a real estate investor borrows money from an individual, cutting out the middleman. Here, the investor sets the terms, interest rates, and payment schedules, providing a more flexible and tailored financing option. This approach eliminates the need for borrowing from traditional banks or hard money lenders, offering more autonomy and speed in closing deals.Navigating the Challenges with a Resilient MindsetReal estate investing is not without its hurdles. During the conversation, Jerry and Jay highlight the importance of resilience when facing financial setbacks. Jay shares his experience during the 2008 financial crisis when he unexpectedly lost his line of credit with a local bank. This pivotal moment pushed him towards private lending, leading to a successful reevaluation and expansion of his business model.The key to overcoming challenges is adopting a proactive mindset. Rather than seeing obstacles as insurmountable problems, Jay emphasizes responding constructively and connecting with the right people who can facilitate solutions. This mindset shift from "victim" to "victor" is essential for navigating the volatile waters of real estate investing.The Power of Community and MentorshipAnother critical element of success in real estate investing is surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals and mentors. Jerry and Jay underscore the transformative impact of joining mastermind groups and engaging in communities that foster collaboration and learning. Jay recounts how mastermind groups have expedited his success by providing access to a wealth of experience and insights from industry peers.Learning from seasoned investors and sharing experiences can significantly decrease the learning curve, preventing costly mistakes and leading to more informed decision-making. As Jay aptly puts it, "What got you here today will not get you there tomorrow."Building a Sustainable Strategy for Raising Private MoneyTo successfully raise private money, Jay advises a strategic approach focused on education and relationship-building. By teaching potential lenders about the benefits of private lending and offering them a secure and appealing investment opportunity, investors can attract capital without resorting to high-pressure sales tactics. He demonstrates the power of seamless communication and structured programs in cultivating a network of private lenders eager to invest.Prospective investors can start small by hosting informational luncheons or one-on-one meetings to share insights about private lending programs. By

Welcome back to the Super Entrepreneurs Podcast! Today, we're diving into private lending and how it's changing the game in real estate. My guest is Ruben Izgelov—an industry expert who's flipped, developed, and financed over $500 million in deals. He's also the co-founder of States Capital and We Lend, helping investors earn solid returns without the headaches of owning property. We're talking about why more investors are ditching traditional banks, how private lending gives you flexibility and speed, and the mindset shifts that fuel massive success. If you've ever wondered how smart investors make money without dealing with tenants or renovations, this episode is for you. Let's get into it!   Chapter Stamps: 01:33 The Rise of Private Lending 02:34 Ruben's First Successful Deal 07:47 Challenges and Lessons Learned 08:56 Support System and Recovery 09:59 Confidence and Motivation 10:49 Expanding Horizons 13:22 The Role of Positive Energy 17:13 Capital Stack Explained 21:38 Investor Security in Volatile Times 23:08 Returns and Fees 24:19 Foreign Nationals and Lending 26:16 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Pullout Quotes: "The biggest reason investors come to us? Speed, flexibility, and the ability to close deals that banks won't touch." “I lost about $400,000. I had $6,000 in my bank and was six months behind on rent. That deal in Brooklyn changed my life." “As a private lender, we have the capacity to move very fast. I've had calls on a Sunday saying, ‘I need to close by Tuesday.' And we make it happen." “Being a lender instead of a landlord means you're the last one in, but the first one paid. That's how you protect your money." “If you think good, you will do good. Your energy and mindset create your success." “I don't know how, but I just knew—I'm going to get this deal done. Two weeks later, we made it happen exactly as I envisioned."   Social: Website: https://www.welendllc.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rubenizgelov/     Disclaimer: Please be aware that the opinions and perspectives conveyed in this podcast are solely those of our guests and do not necessarily represent the views, ideologies, or principles of Super Entrepreneurs Podcast, its associated entities, or any organizations they represent or are affiliated with.
