In this episode of Broker Daily Spotlight, host Liam Garman sits down with Mitchell Chadevski, general manager of Renown Lending, to break down how private lenders are filling the widening gap as major banks tighten lending policies. Chadevski explains why non-banks aren't constrained by strict debt-to-income caps or rigid serviceability rules, instead structuring deals around assets, timelines, and purpose. The discussion also digs into what borrowers should look for in a non-bank lender, with Chadevski stressing the importance of transparency, track record, and clear communication to avoid operators who over-promise or charge upfront fees with no intention to fund. For SMEs, developers, and investors, Chadevski highlights why being "finance ready", with clean documentation, proactive planning, and early conversations, is key to unlocking opportunities.
