What if the biggest problem in real estate is not money but finding the deal?

Scott Meyers sits down with Josh Stech to unpack his journey from flipping homes to building one of the largest private lending platforms in the country and now disrupting off market real estate through his company, Sundae.

Josh shares how the industry shifted from a lack of capital to a lack of inventory and how Sundae is solving that problem by creating a transparent, competitive marketplace for sellers and investors alike.

From scaling a billion-dollar lending business to raising over $100 million for a new venture, he reveals the importance of staying mission driven, building trust with sellers, and resisting shortcuts for quick profit.

The conversation also dives into the future of real estate, industry consolidation, and how entrepreneurs can partner with Sundae to scale faster.
