GI366: Private Lending While Traveling the World with Harley Green
How can you run a private lending business while traveling the world full time? In this episode of the Global Investors Podcast, Charles Carillo sits down with Harley Green, founder of InvestAway, to discuss his transition from nearly 20 years as a computer engineer to real estate investor and private lender. Harley explains how InvestAway approaches asset-based private lending without traditional credit checks, how borrowers can potentially receive funding in as little as three business days, and how investors can participate in real estate-secured loans through a direct co-lending model. They also discuss using self-directed IRAs for private lending, underwriting fix-and-flip and BRRRR projects, construction draws, avoiding risky second-position loans, and how Harley uses virtual assistants, technology, and AI to operate his business remotely while traveling internationally with his family. Harley also shares why InvestAway focuses heavily on protecting capital through the underlying real estate and why chasing higher returns through second-position lending can expose investors to substantially more risk.
