Listen "From Properties to Paper: Shaun Magner on Pivoting into Private Lending"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 79 - Shaun MagnerJoin me as I sit down with Shaun Magner, a seasoned real estate investor, private lender, and the principal of Monument City Capital, a collective of real estate investment companies based in Baltimore, MD. Shaun’s journey began in 2013 when he became an accidental landlord—and quickly discovered a passion for the industry. Over the years, he’s built multiple systems-dependent businesses and mastered every phase of the residential real estate process, from acquisitions and redevelopment to property management and finance. In this conversation, Shaun breaks down how he transitioned from active investing to private money lending, creating a boutique hard money lending operation that prioritizes conservative underwriting, investor protection, and speed. Shaun and I discuss:How a mentor introduced him to the BRRRR strategy and changed his career pathWhy private lending became the perfect fit for his experience and strengthsThe structure of his boutique hard money lending modelHow he ensures his investors earn a consistent 10% returnThe role of speed and simplicity in getting deals doneHow he evaluates risk using conservative loan-to-value ratiosWhy he’s open to "upside down" loans and what that really meansLeveraging real estate for wealth while keeping investor capital in playHow he helps borrowers succeed by sharing his real-world knowledgeBuilding long-term relationships and trust in a capital-driven businessEpisode Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shaun-magner/https://www.monumentcitycapital.com/https://linktr.ee/shaunmagner------------------------THE MILLIONAIRE JOURNEYGet your free e-book here:Top 10 Reasons Mobile Home Parks Outperform Other Real Estate InvestmentsInvest with Glenn:https://www.verticalequityproperties.com/aboutwww.themillionairejourney.nethttps://www.verticalequityproperties.com/ LinkedIn: @glennyaneyX (formerly Twitter): @glennyaneyPodcast Management by Kelly Carlson Creative Services
