Need help! I have a borrower who is ready to move forward with my lender and I for a DSCR loan in Beverly Hills CA, but at this time I'm NOT licensed in CA. I know we can "co-broker" the deal with another broker who holds a license there, but that can take 20-30% of the deal. Is that the only option? Or are there other alternatives? If the only option is to co-broker, are there any licensed broker recommendations we can do this with? Thanks in advance! 😁 @Malcolm Turner @Shonika Proctor @Mitch Messer @Greg Loudon @Eri Cronkhite

Hey, all! So excited to be here! My day job is accounting but I’ve been a real estate investor since the late 1990’s. I’m rebuilding my portfolio after a nasty divorce and find myself organically creating a network of commercial and residential real estate resources. In 2026, I’d like to buy 2-3 more properties. My biggest challenge is capital. My credit was hit hard after the fallout of a crypto scam I got caught up in. I joined MBM to help other investors find lending for their projects while building up my capital nest egg. Thanks for having me!

I'm working on implementing Claude more into my brokerage and have a couple of questions. How is everyone doing it? I see YouTube videos about how "Claude Code Runs My Social Media" and does content creation, etc. Then the videos end up getting a bit too technical for me. My social media is abysmal right now...engagement with my posts is low and I'm trying to figure out a way to grow that presence...while having it not take over my whole day. I'm not a creative guy when it comes to content creation, visuals, etc. That's why I'm a finance guy. I'm looking for a "for Dummies" solution that can help me out. Anyone have any direction for me? Or is this a topic that has been covered in prior calls and if so, can someone please give me the dates, and I'll go listen to those. Or am I jumping the gun, and is this something that will be coming out with the new product we discussed on Monday??

The GOOD News: Over the past 4 weeks, we've had a bunch of private loans pay off, returning funds back to our capital partners. The BAD News (for me!): Idle funds earn ZERO returns. Time to get to WORK! So... I need help finding experienced operators in OK, MI, GA, TX, FL who need buy-and-hold or fix-and-flip funding on single-family homes (no condos or mobile homes), or small multifamily units. Ideal deal size is under $150K. We lend at 12% with monthly interest-only payments, at terms from 6-9 months. LTV should be below 80%. For the first deal with a new-to-us operator, we'll lend 100% of purchase price but only 50% of rehab budget. We can close in 5 business days, but prefer 10. Our broker partnering plan is SUPER-simple: - For a simple referral, we'll pay you $1,000 at closing. - As a co-brokering arrangement, in exchange for handling all of the borrower-side interaction, we'll pay you 1 origination point on the loan at closing. If you're a broker with clients in need of private funding, let's talk TODAY!! You can DM me here in Skool or email me at [email protected]. (And, unlike SOME "private lenders" on Skool, I'm real and legit, with a 5-year string of closed deals and delighted borrowers that I'm HAPPY to have you talk to directly!)

Hi everyone! I’m so glad to have found this community. After 12+ years in Commercial Banking across several traditional banks, I reached a crossroads last year and decided to start something of my own. I earned my mortgage agent license here in Canada, but quickly noticed there are only a handful of institutions focused on the non-traditional commercial lending space. That’s why I was so excited to find this group. My first call with Malcolm went really well — I truly appreciate the wealth of knowledge being shared here. My goal for 2026 is to build the right systems, generate consistent lead flow, and close a couple of deals. My biggest challenge right now is staying focused (it’s easy to get sidetracked scrolling through social media for leads!) and building the emotional resilience needed to thrive in this industry. Looking forward to learning and contributing alongside you all.
