I know what it feels like to need money right now.
I started as a first-time real estate investor: three rentals my first year, then flips. In 2024 the market shifted. Three flips sat on the market, the rehabs ran over budget, rates went up, and Houston became a buyer's market overnight. With six mortgages, holding costs and a child to take care of, I filed bankruptcy to try to save my properties.
"I've been the investor who needs the money."
After a year of struggling, I remembered business-purpose lending from my years in commercial loan operations. No license, no money needed to start. In my first six months, I made $50K.
This year Low Barrier Lending has funded nearly $10 million in loans. It takes work, but you don't need money to start, and one closed deal can change everything. This guide is where it begins.
