Panel: NOT Other People’s Money – A Private Capital Conversation
Jeff Smallowitz can’t believe his luck. He’s been living his childhood dream by working as a spacecraft engineer and pinches himself every day in disbelief that his clients actually allow him in the building! With modest real estate experience ranging from out-of-state house flipping, to a dwindling portfolio of commercial properties, and a growing portfolio of performing loans secured by flips, Jeff and his wife Ellen rave about lending. They’ve been using their after-tax and retirement funds to originate first-position performing trust deeds since 2010, enjoying the safety, time efficiency, and returns, while only regretting not starting earlier.
