About Ray

Real estate investing can be rewarding, and financing should not be the thing standing between an investor and the next deal. Raymond has been helping borrowers through the mortgage process since 2012, and his specialty is investors, both first-time and experienced, buying properties they intend to renovate and hold as rentals.

Investment properties do not always fit neatly inside conventional guidelines. That is why Raymond works heavily in alternative financing, including hard money and Debt Service Coverage Ratio loans, which give investors flexibility on properties that need work or that a traditional program will not touch.

Whether it is a first investment property, funding for the next renovation, or expanding a portfolio that already exists, he takes a strategy-first approach. He wants to understand the property, the investment plan and the objective before talking about structure, because the financing should be built around the deal rather than the other way around.

If you have a property in mind, he is the person to talk to about how to finance it.

No rates, payments or quotes appear on this page, and that is deliberate. Anything you are told about a rate or a payment should come to you in writing on a Loan Estimate after you apply — not from a marketing page. If you want real numbers for your situation, that is exactly the conversation to have with the officer above.
