Episode 23: Vetting the Seller
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most investors focus on analyzing the asset — but the real leverage is knowing who’s on the other side of the deal and how they operate.
In this episode, we break down how to properly vet note sellers — and why seller quality, transparency, and professionalism matter more than any yield model when you’re getting started (and scaling safely).
🔍 What you’ll learn:
✅ Why “direct to asset” matters — and how daisy chains quietly kill good deals
✅ The red flags sellers reveal when they can’t explain loan source, history, or collateral
✅ How communication quality predicts transaction quality before you ever close
✅ Why references and reputation checks are non-negotiable in a relationship-driven business
✅ How disciplined investors avoid deal hunger and protect capital long-term
