Giving 3 stars because we did close after all, but this lender required me to go back and change the name of “landlord” on my leases before they would close. It was ridiculous. Had to meet up with every tenant over the weekend to get them all to initial the changes, which had no impact whatsoever on them. Closing was delayed by about 10 days from the original date given. I would not recommend this lender to anyone who is trying to meet a deadline. They gave me no updates unless I emailed and asked them where we were in the process.

Working with Mike Barnabei at Housemax Funding was an outstanding experience! My new construction investment loan was approved quickly and smoothly, and Mike guided me through every step of the process with clarity and responsiveness. He was always available to answer questions, and the first draw was funded promptly—all within about four weeks. I truly appreciate his professionalism and efficiency. Highly recommend Mike for any real estate financing needs!

Working with the team at Housemax Funding was a great experience. With the support of Kaleb Provence, we were able to fund and close on my flip property purchase quickly and efficiently. I’ve been hoping to work with Kaleb since 2021, and I’m glad we were finally able to collaborate this year. I look forward to continued communication as we complete this deal and am excited about the opportunity to do several more with the team. I highly recommend Housemax Funding for anyone seeking reliable and professional real estate funding solutions.

I had the pleasure of working with HouseMax Funding, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of service I received. From the very beginning, Landon Ashby and Erik Ibarra went above and beyond to make the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Their professionalism, transparency, and deep knowledge of the mortgage process made me feel confident at every stage. They took the time to explain every step in detail, answered all my questions promptly, and ensured I was always informed. Communication was seamless, and deadlines were met without any issues. They worked hard to secure the best possible rate for my situation and even helped me navigate some challenging moments with ease. What stood out most was their commitment to personalized service—they genuinely cared about making the experience a positive one. Thanks to Landon and Erik’s expertise and support, everything moved forward without any surprises. I highly recommend HouseMax Funding, Landon Ashby, and Erik Ibarra to anyone looking for a mortgage lender who combines industry expertise with exceptional customer care.

One of the most flexible and responsive lending organizations we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. And highly competent account executives like Grant Bair, along with the entire processing and closing team, made the process painless. Congratulations to Housemax for doing it right!

I’ve worked with HouseMax multiple times on different real estate projects, and they’re hands down one of the best hard money lenders out there. Meredith is my go-to, and she’s amazing—super responsive, knowledgeable, and always on top of things to ensure a smooth and stress-free funding process. She truly makes everything easy. The entire team is fantastic, and it’s clear that Kaitlin has built an outstanding company that truly understands the needs of real estate investors. While I don’t work directly with Kyle, I know he plays a key role in keeping everything running efficiently on the accounting side. If you need a hard money lender who’s fast, reliable, and easy to work with, HouseMax is the way to go. Highly recommend!
