Becoming a Hard Money Lender

We have Jen's friend, Abby Robinson on the show today sharing how she created her own HML fund, better known as Coastal Capital Lending. Abby also goes into the importance of coaching and being ready to shift in this ever changing real estate market. She even discusses how she learned to syndicate a deal, practically overnight. There's lots of laughs on this episode, enjoy!

Abby Robinson, co-owner of Robinson Squared LLC, a real estate investment flipping company based in Charleston, SC, holds a master's degree in accounting from Kennesaw State University. Shortly after obtaining her CPA license, Abby, along with her wife Kelly, translated their aspirations of real estate investing into reality in early 2021. Their inaugural venture involved acquiring two single-family homes adjacent to each other in North Charleston.

Over the subsequent 24 months, Abby and Kelly strategically invested in 21 properties, totaling just under $2 million dollars ($1,983,100) in value. Currently, their primary focus is on shaping a lifestyle according to their own terms. Operating in collaboration with Kelly's mother, Lisa, they proudly run a women-owned business. Recently, their investment strategy has shifted from long-term rentals to fix and flips, and they are actively involved in raising capital for their expanding hard money lending enterprise, Coastal Capital Lending.

A Hard Money Lender That Actually Gives a Sh!t

We have one of Jen's all-time favorite lenders on the show, Tim Harvilla from Fund That Flip. This hard money lender is SO different from the others because they form local partnerships with all their clients. Because this company believes in nurturing that local connection, they work tirelessly to find solutions for every lending situation. Tim also dives into how to spot scammers, how LTV works, and using lenders to scale your business. Jen also gets Tim to spill the beans about an innovative app they are working on so investors can keep more money in their pockets!

If you are looking for a new hard money lender, this is the episode for you!

We have REIGN member and fellow HomeSchooled coach, Lisa Romano in the house! As coaches, we instruct real estate investors to do things a certain way. A common phrase we use with students is, "Ask me how I know!" In this episode, Lisa details a past project which is why she uses that phrase repeatedly with her students.

From quitting her high-paying job to ignoring the professional opinion of a hard money lender, Lisa learned several lessons from this project.

Lisa Romano is a real estate investor, realtor, coach and mentor. Lisa is a native of Connecticut and a graduate of University of Connecticut. Prior to starting her real estate career, Lisa has had a very successful career where she developed and marketed financial services software for major international corporations, holding various executive management positions at global companies.

Lisa found her love for real estate when building her own home and further solidified it after buying and renovating a beach home. Shortly after, she put her business skills to use and teamed up with her daughter to create a real estate redevelopment company dedicated to relieving people of their real estate problems while helping the communities they live in. For the past several years, she has worn multiple real estate related hats including Realtor and Investor, focusing on flipping properties and building rental real estate portfolios.

Lisa is part of a large network of brokers, investors and managers. Locally, Lisa holds a leadership position with the CT River Valley Chamber of Commerce and is a member of the Greater Hartford Association of Realtors. Lisa is a beach girl at heart and loves the warm weather for most outdoor activities, boating, beaches, going to concerts and sporting events.
