Another Deal Closed

Segway Funding came through for yet another borrower. This was a one year loan, interest only loan. This will enable the borrower to work on his other projects and finalize them. I love helping my clients, both borrowers and lenders, find mutually beneficial bridge loans. For more details see http://www.segwayfunding.com/recent_deals.php

This has been a busy time for me personally as well as professionally. Segway Funding has received a lot of loan opportunities lately and the due diligence has been great. Unlike most of my competitors, Segway Funding prides itself on doing a great deal of due diligence BEFORE sending out loan summaries to our pool of lenders to make sure that they are solid hard money loan opportunities. Most simply gather the bare minimum to put together a bridge loan summary and then let the hard money lenders decide if they are good or not. This does a great disservice to the lenders in that they then have to spend their valuable time doing their due diligence on potentially crappy deals. Conversely, a loan opportunity from Segway Funding has already been through a rigorous screening to make sure that the opportunity really is what the summary claims. Sure it takes Segway Funding a lot more time to wade though deals to find the fundable one's but that is simply how we choose to run our business. The extra mile is what sets us apart.

I was upset yesterday when a hard money broker from another firm in town told me that they withhold information, especially bad information, from lenders claiming that if they don't find it on their own that's their own fault. It down right put me in a bad mood. Oh well, that just means that if we ever end up sharing a lending client, I will have more credibility and respect and will my loans will fund. Lenders appreciate the quality of Segway Funding's loans. http://www.segwayfunding.com/

That's all for now.
