The Story

Hi, I'm Travis.  Before you think about submitting a loan request, you should know...I got into this world by accident. Maybe a series of accidents.

Before those series of accidents I built, bought, and sold businesses online, offline, and around the world. Some big, some small. Some winners, and some losers.

And before that, I did the rental business (that's a hard one). When it was time to exit those, we did the flips (also hard).

Somewhere along the way I bought a tractor trailer load of fancy pre-lit Christmas trees from China and trucked them across the country to sell. That was a disaster.

Easy money is the hardest money you'll ever make. That, I've learned.

I enjoy real estate very much, but since I'm better with a calculator than I am with a hammer, I was interested when I got a random request to provide a loan to someone buying a fix & flip project back in 2019. I did the loan (clumsily, but it worked out). They told someone, and those people told a couple of people. Before long, I had funded many dozens of deals. It was going well—busy in the best way.

Then, almost overnight, the headaches showed up. All of the problems you'd expect - late payments, lies, partial stories, mechanics liens, etc. That's high-volume hard money lending. I had to build more and more processes and rules to keep the problems in check. I was becoming more and more like a bank. That was not the life I wanted.

The world I enjoy is that of a true Private Lender. The numbers are still key, but the person behind the project and the relationship between me and them also matters very much.

So, I redesigned the framework for this business to fit who I am and who I can serve well.

If you're here looking for easy money, so you can make some easy money doing an "easy flip" - I'm not your guy.

But if you already know this business is hard work—and you love that, because hard work keeps the quitters away—then we should talk. You bring the discipline and the long-term plan. I'll bring the capital to grow with.

I am not the lender for the many. I'm the lender for the few.

For the disciplined operators finding and executing quality deals month in and month out, I am your private capital source.

If that's you, let's talk. Text me now at 502-208-8832 and introduce yourself.  I'll reply.
