A recent client came to me after purchasing a fire-damaged property in Pasadena. The home had suffered an electrical fire in the kitchen, resulting in over $100,000 in damage. Due to the extent of the damage, traditional lenders weren’t willing to finance the purchase.

With my help, we secured a private money loan that covered both the acquisition cost and the construction funds needed to rehab the property. The client’s prior renovation experience played a key role in obtaining financing, as this type of loan typically requires a strong background in property improvements.

By leveraging a non-traditional lending route, we turned what seemed like a risky investment into a promising opportunity. If you’re exploring value-add real estate deals that conventional lenders won’t touch, I can help you find the right financing strategy.
