  • Networking break in expo hall
  • A deep dive into non-traditional and specialized lending

    Tighter qualification criteria have led many borrowers away from conventional options to more niche lenders. Private lending comes with its own set of challenges, including managing private investor expectations, knowing your client, and underwriting and presenting private loans to both lenders and consumers, all while watching out for hidden fees, unethical practices on renewals, and early payouts. This session will look at best practices for private lending to ensure agents and brokers can deliver a win-win for both lenders and clients.
