Will Harvey joins Jen and James Kolde on the Home Guys USA podcast for an in-depth conversation about his unconventional path from college dropout to managing multiple real estate investment funds. Will traces his journey from early days as a loan officer through house flipping, syndication investing, and ultimately founding Harvey Capital — a firm that manages hard money lending, owner-financed note, and public equity strategies.
The episode covers practical lessons from Will's flipping experience, including why buying at the right price matters more than any renovation plan and how over-improving a property relative to the neighborhood is one of the most common mistakes investors make. Will explains how his experience on the operations side of real estate sharpened his underwriting as a lender and fund manager.
Will also opens up about how his Christian faith shapes every aspect of his business — from how he communicates with investors to how he makes decisions about capital deployment. The conversation wraps with actionable market insights on what actually matters in today's environment: local inventory trends, interest rate dynamics, and understanding the behavior of lenders and buyers in your specific market.
