Welcome to the third episode of EZ Deals, the podcast dedicated to thriving in the world of real estate brokerage and investment through our craziest anecdotes and real-life experiences. Get ready to learn all the strategies that have helped us succeed in this fascinating industry!

Welcome back to the EZ Deals Podcast! Today, I am very fortunate and excited to have an incredibly talented guest, Dillion Freeman. Dillion is a senior loan officer at Fidelity Bank, funding a nationwide commercial mortgage company. With an extensive background in financing and underwriting, he spends his days seeking commercial real estate loans and speaking to brokers and asset owners looking to buy or refinance properties.

From Junior Credit Analyst to Seasoned Mortgage Broker

In our conversation, we delve into Dillion’s background and how he accidentally got into commercial real estate. He shares the story of landing his first job as a junior credit analyst and how witnessing the various ways things can go wrong has influenced his decision-making process, making him a more realistic and conservative mortgage broker.

We also dug into the experience of building a career in an industry where commission-only jobs are the norm, unlike the safety net of a corporate job. Dillion discusses what keeps him motivated to build his business without the security provided by a salary-based job.

Switching gears, we dive into Dillion’s new LinkedIn posts, which I consider to be some of the most interesting content on LinkedIn right now. These posts, focusing on potentially troubled assets and illustrating financing problems in San Diego, have received incredible feedback. If you’re in the real estate community, make sure to check out these posts on Dillion’s LinkedIn profile – I’m sure you’ll find them as insightful as I do.

Join us as we explore the current state of the commercial real estate financing market. Dillion shares his insights on securing commercial loans, underwriting investment properties, and offers invaluable tips for achieving success in the real estate business. Whether you’re an aspiring investor or a seasoned professional, this episode is packed with practical advice and expert perspectives that you won’t want to miss.
