PLP-073 Private Lending For Profit: Keith's Interview On The Accelerated Investor Podcast with Josh Cantwell

Published: June 3, 2019, 3 a.m.


In real estate, private lending is a necessary field especially for those who want to invest but are short in cash. However, Keith Baker says the power of private lending isn't the money or the debt that you're getting, but the education and the network. Keith is a real estate investor and the host of Private Lender Podcast. He talks about the circumstances that led him to become focused on passive investing as a self-directed IRA investor and a private lender, as well as how he got started in podcasting and his passion for private money.

Private Lending For Profit: Keith's Interview On The Accelerated Investor Podcast with Josh Cantwell
I'm going to throw up the format. I'm going to change it up a little bit. I'm going to throw something a little new at you and let me explain why. First off, if you're looking to get rich quick, if you want to make $1 million overnight, then stop reading this blog because that's not what this is about. This is here to help people like myself, like you, normal everyday working people trying to live the American nightmare in suburbia. We have a fairly decent job. We also like real estate but we're not going to go quit and become the next Chip and Joanna or Than Merrill. This way we can still participate. We can still be investors. We just do it with our funds, private money, private lending, private mortgages to other real estate investors.

I believe this is going to be episode number 73 and the topic is I ran out of finished episodes. While I'm putting something together and getting interviews recorded, I did an interview with Josh Cantwell who has a very interesting story. I highly recommend you go seek him out and learn. He does coaching and education. He also uses private money. I figured it would be great to do an interview swap with him, which we have done. However, I have miscommunicated with his tech team and I'm still trying to get my side of it. I do have a copy of my interview on Josh's podcast, which is called Accelerated Investor Podcast and you can find it at AcceleratedInvestorPodcast.com. My episode happened to be called Private Lending for Profit: Part 1. I had a good time and enjoyed my time with Josh before, during and after we interviewed swapped.

At some point, I will post the interview that he did for this show but for the time being, I'm trying to get ahead in my scheduling. My time is getting a little more cramped than usual. I figured this is a great way to buy a week. I'm doing some more solocast. I'm going to start drilling down into different aspects and I've got some interesting interviews coming up. The Private Lender Podcast will be sponsoring the Quest Expo. It was Quest IRA, but they changed their name to Quest Trust. This is their second year. It's going to be in Houston this 2019, August 23rd through 25th. I'm proud to be sponsoring that again.

Even though I've canceled sponsors from this show, I will be bringing back Quest Trust as a sponsor. I will have discount codes for tickets and I will have some interviews from some Quest Trust employees. There will be a lot of interesting things about different accounts that you can use for self-direction and for private lending in notes and real estate. That's going to be fun. I'm going to let that cat out of the bag. I want to get to my interview on the Accelerated Investor Podcast with Josh Cantwell.
