Funded deals
“I had $3,000 liquid and a 600 score — Jaken Finance Group still closed 100% on a deal that made sense on the numbers.”
“We had done three Gary deals with Jaken Finance Group — this refi pulled equity before the 12-month bank clock without selling.”
“Speed won the estate listing — proof of funds on Day 2 beat two conventional offers still in underwriting.”
“Hard money bought calendar for TOPA and basement CO — without a 14-month bridge the compliance spend would have forced a short sale.”
“Same rent that barely cleared DSCR on a Petworth two-unit cleared 1.16 here — Maryland opex was the whole cross-border thesis.”
“BRRRR beat a thin flip spread — inland insurance and lower basis cleared DSCR where a resale would have netted under $12K.”
