Hey everyone, glad to be here ๐ Iโm Tim, based in San Diego. I run a general contracting business and actively invest in real estate, primarily value add multifamily and heavy remodel projects. Over the last few years Iโve lived on the execution side, managing renovations, budgets, timelines, and risk, which naturally pushed me deeper into the capital side of deals. Lately Iโve been preparing to scale into transactional lending as a way to deploy capital efficiently while staying close to real deals and real operators. What Iโm most interested in learning here: โข How experienced lenders structure risk protection โข What separates smooth closings from problem files โข How you vet borrowers beyond just numbers If youโre already lending, Iโd love to hear what surprised you most when you started. If youโre newer like me, what part of the process are you focused on mastering first? Looking forward to connecting, contributing, and most importantly doing some deals together.
