I am Arvind Raghunathan. I, along with Max and Eric, founded this company back in 2013 in New York City.
We originally started in the bridge lending business and then migrated into the rental business around 2016, 2017.
We merged with Rock 360 in 2019 and since then have become one of the largest private lenders in the United States.
In 2021 and 2022, we had to navigate through a very difficult market environment.
Rates were rising very quickly, and liquidity was tightening.
Fortunately, we had a great team and great partners who helped us manage through all the market volatility.
Since then, we’ve streamlined our business, focused on operational excellence, and continued to support real estate investors across the country.
We take pride in having an institutional-grade lending platform that still has a very entrepreneurial culture.
It has been a great journey, and it’s amazing to see how the company has grown over the years.
I’m extremely grateful to our team and our partners for helping us get to where we are today.
Everybody working here is an award in itself.
It’s truly amazing.
