Episode 564: Private Money Mistakes to Avoid

Borrowing private money for your next deal? Don’t make these costly mistakes.

In this week’s minisode, Liz and Andresa break down the top three mistakes investors make when using private money—and how to avoid them. Whether you’re funding your first flip or scaling your portfolio, understanding how private lending really works is key to protecting your profit and building long-term credibility with lenders.

Here’s what you’ll learn in Episode 564:

  • The real cost of private money—and the hidden fees most investors overlook.
  • How to choose the right deal structure (debt vs. equity) and avoid legal or partnership headaches.
  • Why your financial projections on paper matter more than what’s in your head—and how to stress test your numbers for best and worst-case scenarios.
  • Bonus: How to build long-term relationships with private lenders who trust you enough to fund deal after deal.
