All Things Hard Money Lending with My Friend Sean Pan | From Military to Millionaire Podcast

Episode: 148
Sean Pan       
Join your host David Pere with guest Sean Pan as they talk about how Sean created a path before leaving his W-2 job for real estate investing. Before, Sean was an engineer. After his first job, he realized despite the safety full-time careers offer, the growth potential is limited. When he reflected on his father's satisfaction in terms of career, Sean was compelled to make risk-taking more seriously. For him, the younger you are, the more you should be taking risks.
 
Aside from touching on his introduction to investing, Sean also shares how he got into doing podcasts. As a real estate investor, he acknowledges the challenges common to real estate and podcasting and briefs about why podcasters shouldn't just stay within the mainstream platforms for podcasting.
 
In this episode, Sean and David tackle limiting beliefs, hard money loans, entry-level investments that gained big, and the indisputable relevance of networking to every beginner in investing. They also discuss deep what seems to be the answer to every investor's problem in general. The two agree that doing your first deal will always be more important than making sure your first deal is perfect.
