Keeping it REal

On this episode of Keeping it REal with Kelly and Amanda, we sit down with George Shumate from Lend Mortgage to break down the world of investment loans — from fix-and-flip projects to turning dreams of a wine bar, wedding venue, or vacation rental into a real estate reality. George walks us through how to secure properties and build an investment portfolio without needing a pile of cash, all while avoiding the common pitfalls that leave many investors stuck or overwhelmed. If you’ve ever wondered how to get started, where to turn, or how to spot a solid deal versus a buyer-beware trap, this conversation is for you. George shares expert guidance, insider tips, and the lending options that can take your vision from idea to keys-in-hand — with confidence.
