In this episode of The Deal Vault, Greg and the LoanBidz team take the podcast on the road to BiggerPockets Conference 2026 in Orlando, their fourth year attending and sponsoring the event. Instead of a typical sit down, they walk the floor and ask real estate investors, including borrowers they’ve worked with, two simple questions: what got you into real estate investing, and what does it mean to work with people you trust?

 

The answers range from a wife who pushed her husband into his first rental, to couples leaving the W-2 rat race, to a Kansas City investor chasing time freedom and a legacy for his kids. Along the way, investors talk about generational wealth, transparency, and why trust is the first thing they look for in a lending partner, and a LoanBidz account executive who also invests in Baltimore explains why he joined the team and how LoanBidz finds financing that fits each deal.

 

Who This Episode Is For:

• Real estate investors who want to hear why other investors do what they do
• New investors deciding whether to take the first step into rentals or flips
• Couples and families who want to build a real estate business together
• Investors looking for a lender who acts as a trusted partner
• Anyone planning to attend BiggerPockets Conference and wondering what it offers
