Protect your stake—or risk collateral damage.

In this episode of Grow With Leila, I dive into one of the most critical topics for private money lenders: ensuring your investments are properly secured. Mistakes in collateral evaluation and documentation can cost you time, money, and peace of mind. I’ll share my personal insights, actionable steps, and the golden rule I follow to ensure every deal I lend on is rock-solid.

Today, I talk about:

>> How to properly evaluate collateral for your loans—the right way and why “future value” doesn’t cut it.

>> The legal and documentation essentials every lender needs to know to protect their investments.

>> The true cost of insufficient security—from financial loss to missed opportunities.

Listen in because protecting your hard-earned money is non-negotiable, and I’m giving you the tools to do it confidently. Whether you’re a new lender or a seasoned pro, this episode will sharpen your skills and help you avoid costly mistakes.
