Private Lending Investing – Less Risk and Steady Returns – Tom Berry
Let’s go down the rabbit hole of private credit lending with my friend Tom Berry. This is something we’ve been doing in Freedom Founders since the beginning. In this episode, you will hear how to be successful and profitable in any stage of the market. If you want to know how private lending might fit into your asset allocations, this episode is for you!
Buying properties and private lending are the two pieces of the capital stack that give us a mix of ownership and credit. As an established and seasoned real estate investor and teacher, Tom brings important insight into the private equity and lending arenas. He also gives us a glimpse at what’s going on in the current economy and shares his take on when to get involved in private lending.

P.S. Whenever you’re ready, here are some other ways I can help fast track you to your Freedom goal (you’re closer than you think) :
In this episode, we finish up the second part of my interview with Rob Swanson and his eight rules of investing. (If you haven’t listened to part 1, be sure to go back and give that a listen before jumping into this one.) Today, we pick up where we left off, covering rules four through eight and talking about everything from decision-making to cash flow and risk reduction.
Listen in as Rob shares his incredible insight and experience in real estate and investing to give us a few rules that help make our decisions and investments more solid. You will hear about the importance of looking at margins before buying and what boxes need to be checked when it comes to predicting a solid income stream. Rob also discusses how to define and mitigate the different risks involved so that you can come out on top.
Alastair MacDonald is a private advisor to established entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners, as well as a TEDx speaker who lectures on economic, social, and financial forecasts. Join me today to hear part two of our conversation at the Freedom Founders Mastermind, where we dive into the concept of certainty, how to hedge against a volatile economy, and why the abdication model is no longer one that works.
Listen in to learn the reasons why Alastair is not worried about consumer price inflation (and what he’s really worried about instead) and why the 401(k) is not always the investment that it is made out to be. You’ll learn why he is most concerned about the issue of division and polarity in the Western world, why your business is your best asset in a volatile economy, and how you can maintain its viability to weather the most intense economic storm.
