Why Speed Matters: The Role of Hard Money and Bridge Loans | Michael Iuculano

On this episode of The Science of Flipping, I sit dow with Michael Iuculano, a seasoned hard money lender with over two decades of experience, shares his expert insights on the evolving lending landscape, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. He explains how the lending environment has tightened, with stricter underwriting standards and increased scrutiny on borrowers’ ability to pay and the quality of their investments. Michael highlights the importance of speed in real estate deals, especially when utilizing hard money and bridge loans, and offers advice on how investors can best position themselves to secure financing in a more cautious market.

Beyond lending, the conversation delves into Michael's personal transformation from a hands-on hustler to a CEO mindset, focusing on empowering his team and building systems that allow for scalability and time freedom. Michael's overarching message is that regardless of market conditions, those who are adaptable, focus on quality deals, and build strong networks will always find opportunities to thrive.
