In this episode of The Deal Vault, Nate sits down with co-host Sarah for a companion piece to last week’s episode with Greg, this time getting to know the person behind the company’s loan processing and borrower experience. Sarah didn’t come from a mortgage background at all; she was a stay-at-home mom doing part-time CrossFit coaching when she, Greg, and co-founder Damon first sat down in 2018 to build what would become LoanBidz.

 

Sarah walks through learning the loan processing business entirely from scratch, including the imposter syndrome that came with being terrified to answer the phone in the company’s early days, and how that experience shaped her philosophy on borrower communication today. She also shares what it was like using her own company’s loan programs to buy rental properties for herself and, later, helping her own mortgage-industry father purchase his first investment properties using the exact systems she’d built. The conversation closes on how far she’s come, from feeling like an outsider at industry events to helping build educational content for the private lending industry itself.

 

Who This Episode Is For:

• New listeners who want to get to know the team behind The Deal Vault
• Investors curious what actually happens behind the scenes at a lending company
• Anyone starting a business or role with no prior industry experience
• Investors wondering whether to set up their own LLC or lean on lender support
• Listeners who’ve ever felt like an imposter stepping into a new professional space
