Kevin Green is a true private lender without Wall Street overlays. Online lenders run programmatic credit-box underwriting and route deals through analysts and committees, which works well for clean, conforming fix-and-flip and rental loans but slows down or declines anything unusual — distressed properties, complex entity structures, foreign-national borrowers, time-critical closings, or loans over $5M. Kevin reviews your deal directly, gives you a same-day answer, and closes the loans that don't fit other lenders' boxes. For straightforward residential fix-and-flip under $1M, online lenders may quote a lower rate; for everything else, Kevin's speed and flexibility are the moat.
