Hard Money Lending Explained: How Investors Fund Deals
Note sull'episodio
David Little left a 15-year engineering career to grow a $25 million private lending fund—but the real goal was never just money. It was ownership of his time.
🎙️ INSIDE THIS EPISODE
In Episode 2 of Real Estate Rock Stars, host Justin Nimergood sits down with David Little, Principal and Co-Founder of Crown Capital Resources, to discuss private lending, hard money loans, entrepreneurship, and building a business that creates greater freedom.
With a four-person team managing approximately $25 million—and systems designed to support growth toward $40 million—David explains how a nights-and-weekends side business eventually became impossible to ignore.
💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How David transformed a side hustle into a full-time business
- Why autonomy mattered more than climbing the corporate ladder
- How systems, automation, and EOS can support efficient growth
- How higher interest rates affect real estate investors and private lenders
- Why residential and commercial lending involve different risks
- How private capital helped bring a meaningful community project to life
- Why true wealth is about freedom, family, and control over your time
If you are building a business and wondering when to take the leap, this conversation will help you think more intentionally about growth, delegation, and the kind of freedom you ultimately want to create.
