Joe Scorese, a local real estate veteran, dives into how he got started in the business and how you can get started with no money. Joe goes over the market, the direction he thinks it’s moving, what deals are getting approved by lenders, and why these deals are attractive to capital partners. He talks about hard and private money lenders, what questions to ask private lenders, and how to make sure they perform at the closing table. He also goes over how much money is on the sideline, how hard and private money lending has changed, and how he’s focusing on different markets and asset classes. Joe discusses what separates him from other lenders, and the various ways he’s able to assist his clients outside of his capacity as a lender. One of the foundations of Joe’s success has been networking – he describes throwing networking events as a “slight addiction.”
