The Team You Need at $5M, $15M, and $25M+ (Most Get This Wrong) - #320

What does the right team actually look like as your private lending business grows? 🤔
In this episode of the Private Lenders Podcast, Chris and Jason break down the exact team structure private and hard money lenders need at key portfolio milestones — $5M, $15M, and $25M+ outstanding — and why so many lenders get this wrong.

If you've ever asked:

• Who should my first hire be?

• When do I need loan servicing software?

• What roles should owners vs. employees handle?

• How do I scale without bloating overhead?

…this episode is a must-listen.

What You'll Learn:

• How to structure your team at $0–$5M, $6M–$15M, and $25M+ portfolios

• The difference between front-end vs. back-end roles (and why clarity matters)

• When to hire a loan processor, controller, or portfolio manager

• Why owners should not be doing loan servicing keystrokes

• When to implement loan servicing software (hint: sooner than you think)

• How a lean team can scale from $25M to $50M+ without major overhead increases

• Additional roles to consider at scale: inspectors, business development, and marketing

Chris and Jason also share real-world lessons from growing a portfolio from the ground up — including mistakes, efficiencies gained over time, and how the right systems make growth easier, not harder.
