Real Estate Coaches, Events, and Resources

I bring more than 20 years of experience in commercial real estate finance, with extensive expertise in arranging debt through Life Companies, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, USDA, CMBS lenders, bridge lenders, banks, and credit unions. My background includes structuring a broad range of financing solutions, including construction loans, permanent loans, construction-to-permanent loans, bridge loans, and participating loans—where the lender serves as both capital provider and investment partner. Throughout my career, I have placed billions of dollars in commercial loans across all major property types, including multifamily, industrial, retail, office, self-storage, hospitality, assisted living, and various special-use assets. All transactions have been executed within the United States, covering most major markets. I can assist you in several key areas: Determining the right financing structure for your property and investment goals. Preparing you for the loan process to ensure you qualify and present strongly as a sponsor. Evaluating project feasibility, including identifying red flags and reviewing market data, comparable properties, and economic projections. Guiding you on the qualifications needed to become a real estate developer, and helping you assess potential partners if partnership is appropriate.

Welcome to my profile! I am a J.D. candidate at Columbia Law School, and real estate is one of my largest passions. I got my first real estate license when I was 19, and have since passed the real estate exam in multiple states. Through internship experience, I have been involved with many different parts of the real estate industry. As an aide to the Mayor of a sizable New England city, I became well versed the local regulatory frameworks regarding real estate development, and I also have some experience working with landlords to identify new potential properties or streamline their rental operations with technology. I am also very well versed on real estate economics and recent market news, and it's one of my favorite subjects to talk about. Though I have not been involved with real estate sales directly, I also have significant experience working with startups and developing sales and outreach strategies in that context. Don't hesitate to reach out!
