The real estate investing landscape is a mess right now. Real estate investors who were going heavy during the Covid era, enjoying low interest rates, are struggling to keep their doors open and wondering what’s next.
But not everyone. Some investors are looking at this market as a buying opportunity. In this episode, you’ll meet Chris Lopez, co-founder of Property Llama.
He spotted an opportunity most investors miss: to switch to the credit side for the best risk-adjusted returns. You’ll get the story behind the switch, what he’s seeing in the real estate market, and how they run their private lending fund for consistent returns to real estate investors.
