That’s just one of the big questions Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Mom’s neighbor Doug tackle in this packed episode (number 1700!) of Stacking Benjamins.

Bob Elliott joins Cem Karsan and Niels Kaastrup-Larsen for a conversation about what happens when strong economic data masks a deeper structural shift. The income engine still runs, but tariffs, labor scarcity, and immigration limits are quietly rewiring the system. Inflation may not fall the way people expect. Profit margins may not hold. And capital may start flowing away from the US for the first time in a generation. This isn’t a cycle call. It’s a question of what kind of economy we are becoming—and whether portfolios built for the past can survive what’s coming.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT’s TRUE ? – most CIO’s read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Cem on Twitter.Follow Bob on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 02:58 - Revisiting the Income Driven Expansion12:30 - Inflation Dynamics and Economic Policy15:31 - The Dynamics of Labor and Immigration27:58 - Strategic Decoupling and Its Implications32:04 - The Economic Implications of Manufacturing in China42:13 - Economic Growth and Market Dynamics48:28 - The Evolving Landscape of Investment Strategies53:25 - Understanding Alpha Strategies and Portfolio Diversification01:01:10 - The Dynamics of Hedge Fund Strategies and Correlation01:09:34 - Global Macro Trends and Financial DecouplingCopyright © 2024 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help

If you want to level up your real estate business and build lasting wealth, then learning how to creatively leverage private money is a game-changer. In a recent episode of “Raising Private Money,” Jay Conner sat down with Derek Dombeck, an expert with decades of experience in private lending, creative deal structuring, and wealth-building through real estate. Together, they unpacked practical strategies and mindset shifts that have helped Derek successfully structure thousands of deals while helping investors and sellers alike.Below, we’ll break down the top insights and actionable lessons from their conversation.Creative Deal Structuring: More Than Just FinancingDerek emphasizes that creative deal structuring isn’t just about finding different ways to fund a property; it's about using every tool at your disposal to solve people’s problems.For instance, many think that approaches like “subject to” (taking over a property’s existing financing) or seller financing are inherently creative. For Derek, those are just the basics. True creativity comes from recognizing the unique needs of the seller, the condition of the property, or the investor's goals, and then combining multiple strategies for a win-win outcome.Real-World ExampleDerek shares a deal where he purchased a property with existing bank debt (“subject to”), arranged for the seller to carry a second mortgage (sometimes at 0% interest), and leveraged private money in a third mortgage position to fund renovations. Each participant was protected and incentivized: the seller got steady principal paydowns, the private lender earned double-digit returns (including a share of profits through a “participating note”), and Derek maximized his leverage without overexposing anyone.The Power of Participating NotesA major gem from Derek’s toolbox is the “participating note.” Unlike traditional notes that just collect interest, participating notes allow private lenders to receive a share of the profits when a flip is complete or the property sells.This approach has several benefits:Aligns interests. Lenders are invested in the success of the project.Boosts returns. Lenders can potentially earn more than a flat interest rate.Eases cash flow. With interest accruing and some payments deferred until exit, it helps investors better manage project costs during rehab.The paperwork is straightforward: terms detailing profit splits and payout triggers are included in the promissory note—not buried in side agreements—ensuring transparency for all parties.Multiple Offers: Meeting Sellers Where They’re AtDerek’s approach to negotiations is all about options. Rather than pushing a single offer, he sits with sellers and outlines a menu:All-cash, quick-close offers.Seller finance with interest at a higher purchase price.Full-price (or higher) offers with 0% interest, paid out over time.Lease options or creative “installment” arrangements.This empowers sellers to choose what best meets their specific needs. In practice, many sellers are drawn to the financial advantages of terms deals—often netting more money over time, especially if they can take 0% interest and avoid a big tax hit.Equity Cushion and Risk ManagementNo matter how creative the structure, Derek never skips prudent risk analysis. He focuses on maintaining a healthy equity cushion—typically borrowing no more than 65% of after-repair value for flips, and up to 80% for longer-term rentals. This ensures there’s enough margin for error, market shifts, or unexpected expenses, keeping both lenders and the project secure.Building Relationships & Educating Private LendersAt the core of Derek’s strategy is education and open communication with private lenders.
