I have 25+ years in the financial industry working in all areas of mortgage lending. My career began with a finance company in the mid 90's with a heavy focus on real estate transactions. After moving to Georgia, I realized mortgage loans was all I wanted to focus on.

Tagpoint LLC, through our Tagpoint Funding brokerage service, matches real estate investors with customized short-term fix and flip and long-term rental property loans through our growing network of private money loans.

1. Fast Funding: Time is money in the real estate business. Unlike traditional loans that can take weeks or even months, private money loans can be processed and funded within a few days or a couple weeks.

2. Bad Credit? No Problem: Private money loans don’t need you to have good credit, the property that is going to be backing the loan is the only thing that will be looked at to make sure it qualifies.

3. Real People Lending Money: People with money sitting in low paying CD’s and other investments are looking for better opportunities for their money which is where you come in with your real estate flip. It’s a win win for both sides.

4. Creative Opportunities: Banks stay away from loaning money for fix and flip projects but private investors love this kind of opportunities. This is why they are able to provide creative funding solutions.

5. Flexible Terms: Traditional loans are bound by strictly-enforced guidelines. Private money lenders understand this business better and are more willing to work with you to create a loan that works for your project.
