Episode 79 - Shaun Magner

Join me as I sit down with Shaun Magner, a seasoned real estate investor, private lender, and the principal of Monument City Capital, a collective of real estate investment companies based in Baltimore, MD. Shaun’s journey began in 2013 when he became an accidental landlord—and quickly discovered a passion for the industry. Over the years, he’s built multiple systems-dependent businesses and mastered every phase of the residential real estate process, from acquisitions and redevelopment to property management and finance. In this conversation, Shaun breaks down how he transitioned from active investing to private money lending, creating a boutique hard money lending operation that prioritizes conservative underwriting, investor protection, and speed. 

Shaun and I discuss:

• How a mentor introduced him to the BRRRR strategy and changed his career path
• Why private lending became the perfect fit for his experience and strengths
• The structure of his boutique hard money lending model
• How he ensures his investors earn a consistent 10% return
• The role of speed and simplicity in getting deals done
• How he evaluates risk using conservative loan-to-value ratios
• Why he’s open to "upside down" loans and what that really means
• Leveraging real estate for wealth while keeping investor capital in play
• How he helps borrowers succeed by sharing his real-world knowledge
• Building long-term relationships and trust in a capital-driven business
