I’ve spent more than 25 years in sales, finance, and mortgage lending, and over the years I’ve worked with investors, brokers, and lending platforms structuring deals across a wide range of scenarios.Most of my work today revolves around business-purpose lending for real estate investors, including DSCR loans, cash-out refinances, and financing for investors buying properties through LLCs.A lot of the investors I work with are using strategies like:• BRRRR• Long-term rental portfolio building• DSCR loans for scaling rental portfolios• Short-term rental acquisitions• Cash-out refinances to redeploy equity into the next dealWhat I enjoy about the real estate space is that every deal has its own puzzle to solve.

Sounds complicated but it freed up something like 40-50k in revolving capital because I wasn't holding money waiting for deal to transition between phases.The bigger play was deal velocity.
