The recent credit crunch has hurt the true producers out there the most. With lending so tight, it’s the movers and shakers—the entrepreneurs, business owners, and real estate investors—-who are now having difficulty funding their projects. It no longer matters if your banker is your friend, in fact, your banker has become nearly obsolete as a crucial member of your team of advisors. You must have someone on your team who understands your financial goals–Period. Who can you trust to assist you to obtain the best funding for your own projects, businesses, and investments?

With 18 years in the lending industry, I have seen many ups and downs in both the economy and the real estate market. Acquiring credit is similar to making a case in a courtroom. How can you expect to win a tough case without the help of an experienced attorney? A qualified broker is really your only advocate in the current credit environment. Find a good broker and put him or her on your own team of advisors if you want to get ahead in an uncertain market.

My team at Northwestern Mortgage isn’t trying to sell you a loan. We want to understand what you seek to accomplish and then creatively structure financing with your success in mind. With access to a large number of both institutional and private money sources, we continue to assist a large number of aspiring high net worth individuals to accomplish their financial goals. Post your comments and questions to our Blog and help us build a fountain of useful information on the largely misunderstood topic of private money. Enjoy!
