    This company is amazing! I brought them a deal that needed to get approval and closed in 2 days, and they made it happen. They know what they’re doing. Very organized and professional company. I would recommend them to all my friends in the business.

  • Clint Crawford
    Clayton, Charles and all of the crew at First Funding are very pleasant to work with! If I need money for a deal, they’re always there and ready to go for me. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have my house flipping business. They’ve closed numerous deals for me, and some in 2 days or even less. And the best part is, they don’t have all the fees that other hard money lenders have. Their interest rates and points are about as good as you can find in the business. If I need a deal closed, I know I can always rely on First Funding.
