What are your rates?
The financial crash of 2007 wiped out all subprime and ALT-A lenders. But even the biggest and strongest banks suffered huge losses. Consequently, banks are still shying away from funding mortgages – even today. The disappearance of many lending institutions along with the reluctance by the “surviving” banks to engage has left a huge void in the marketplace. Many strong borrowers and many borrowers with substantial equity in their properties simply cannot obtain financing anymore. Our loan products address that need. Our funding, however, does not come from Wall Street or the Federal Government. Instead, we work with high-networth individuals to lend these funds to our borrowers. For their risk, our investors expect to earn 9% or better.
What is a “business purpose” loan?
We only fund “business purpose” loans. A “business purpose” loan is not regulated by NMLS, TILA or Reg Z. The loan proceeds are not primarily used for personal, family or household purposes. Examples include: buying a rental property, pulling cash out of a residence to invest in a business, etc.

What servicing do you provide?
We provide comprehensive loan servicing including: sending statements to borrowers and investors, collecting payments from borrowers and disbursing earnings to investors, monitoring property taxes and insurance coverage, managing the foreclosure process, completing year-end tax reporting and responding to borrower and investor inquiries. You can access your account online to monitor your portfolio from any browser and now through our iPad app.
How much do you charge for servicing?
We advertise all our investment with the “Investor Yield” which is the net rate you will earn. The note rate on the investment is slightly higher. The difference – or spread – compensates us for our servicing activities. There are no other charges.
