I started attending the California Mortgage Association when I transitioned from commercial real estate into the private lending world. And I think it’s one of the best things I ever did. The wealth of knowledge and the experience that people have here, it’s just incredible. You have people that have been in the business for 50 years. I mean, where else do you find that?”
