ABOUT THE EPISODE

Ron McMahan, Founder & CEO of Foundation Specialty Finance, as well as experienced principal investor, fund manager and loan originator, is sharing lessons learned on ethical challenges and innovative solutions from over two decades in the industry.

This episode is for the investor aligned with avoiding predatory practices and making ethical and smart investment decisions in any market.

From manufactured housing finance to creating a mortgage brokerage specializing in hard money second loans, Ron’s career is marked by strategic foresight and collaboration with giants like Goldman Sachs and Fortress Investments.

His commitment to helping families remain in their homes shines through, with a success rate twice the industry average, and his role in reshaping the landscape of distressed real estate investments is nothing short of legendary.

In this thought-provoking episode, we tackle the ethical challenges within the mortgage lending arena, especially in the wake of the global financial crisis. Ron brings to light the importance of empathy and innovation in restructuring loans, highlighting strategies such as loan modifications and cash-for-keys that offer relief and dignity to struggling homeowners.

Through Ron’s transformative approach, there’s a powerful message about the essential shift toward sustainable and compassionate practices in managing distressed loans. The very principle that First Lien Capital operates from – which you can read about in Win-Win Revolution: An Insider’s Guide to Investing in the Secondary Mortgage Market.
