Steven shares his transition from commercial mortgage training to private lending. He explains how Canadian mortgage markets differ from those in the U.S., including their stronger presence of residential private lending and unique foreclosure structures. The conversation breaks down how private mortgage investing works, what makes a deal attractive, and why capital preservation, security, and exit strategy matter more than chasing yield. They also discuss second-position lending, bridge financing, and how disciplined underwriting can create consistent returns while avoiding common investor mistakes.
