PRIVATE MONEY:  BOTH SIDES OF THE DEAL

How to Find a Private Money Lender—and How to Become One

Jason Elkins of FreedomTrust Homes will cover:

• Where investors can meet potential private lenders
• How to approach lenders and build credibility
• What lenders should evaluate before funding a deal
• The loan documents, repayment plans, and risks both sides need to understand

A practical loan example will bring both perspectives together—with actionable next steps for borrowers and prospective lenders.

Whether you’re seeking funding, considering lending, or simply exploring your options, this session is for you.

Educational only. No specific investment is being offered. Private lending involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
