Dissecting the world of private debt, particularly in the context of property development. For this interesting topic, I had the honour of sharing the room with Matt Crowe, CFO of Bowery Capital. A powerhouse himself he explained the nuances of private debt, its advantages over traditional bank lending, and the evolving landscape of non-bank lenders in great detail. 


 Our conversation highlighted the importance of speed and expertise in financing property developments, the security offered to investors, and the growing interest in private debt as an investment option. 


Together, we also addressed common misconceptions about private lenders and the risks associated with different types of debt financing. I shared the intricacies of land subdivision, construction loans, and the various models of mortgage funds while, Matt emphasized on the importance of trust in the financing industry and the challenges faced in the development market, particularly during times of economic strain.
