My Story

I started a hard money side hustle 3 years ago when I was working until 2 am every night as an investment banker.

I closed 40 loans in my first 12 months.

So how did I keep up and grow so fast?

I built this Airtable base to automate and cut down on 90% of the data entry and back office tasks.

I am now a full-time private lender and owner of Longleaf Lending. I've closed over 300+ loans and over $75 million in deal value.

This Airtable base STILL runs my business.

Private lending software is expensive, inflexible, and cumbersome (believe me - I've demo'd most of them). You'll pay $1,000+/month plus $5,000 in onboarding and set up costs.

And then, it takes over a month just to get up and running!

Most lenders don't need this.

If you want to start lending or are still using an excel spreadsheet to manage your business, it's time for an upgrade.
