On this episode of Deal Nation we're joined by Zach Richards, co-founder of REI Capital Guys, who reveals how real estate investors can simultaneously build wealth through private lending while accessing capital to scale their fix-and-flip operations.
Zach shares his journey from software engineer to successful private lender, starting with a single $100K loan to now managing a multi-million dollar lending fund. Discover how investors can earn 7-10% returns backed by real estate without dealing with tenants, toilets, or property management headaches.
Key topics include conservative underwriting strategies that protect investor capital, how to leverage cross-collateral for 100% financing deals, building relationships with repeat borrowers for consistent returns, the accredited investor fund structure and monthly distributions, and why experienced flippers pay premium rates for speed and reliability.
Whether you're looking to diversify your portfolio with passive real estate income or need fast capital for your next flip, this episode provides actionable strategies for both sides of the private lending equation.
"These are just experienced real estate investors that do a lot of deals and they are willing to pay more for the speed and for not having to go through all of that process that you do when you get a loan from a bank." - Zach Richards
