$10 Million of Crypto Mortgages with Josip Rupena, CEO of Milo

$10 Million of Crypto Mortgages with Josip Rupena, CEO of Milo

Author: Choice September 16, 2022 Duration: 30:50

Ever since episode 1 of Bitcoin is Hard with my friend George Mekhail we have exploring the idea of Bitcoin and crypto mortgages. Our real estate playlist of episodes is among the most watched and engaged with. What is interesting about Milo is they weren’t founded as a crypto company, they are and always have been a mortgage lender to borrowers who don’t fit into the “prime box”.

That’s immediately what made Milo stick out to me is that they have a history of making mortgage loans work in the absence of regular W2 income, citizenship and FICO scores. What’s cool about this is they are bringing Bitcoin and crypto to their industry and using it to evolve on products they have already found huge success with.

Hope you enjoy this conversation with Milo CEO Josip Rupena!
