I would like to highly recommend Catalyst Funding for Hard Money Lending and Permanent financing for Single Family Investment Properties. Jonathan has been a great person to work with not only is he very knowledgeable but truly cares about the client experience . We have done 14 deals so far with no problems getting them closed. Also Jeff and Wade the owner has taken the time to help get us the best deal possible. Look forward to many more deals with them.

Jonathan is a wealth of knowledge in the Real Estate funding workspace. In addition, he is very patient and is willing to answer my questions as a beginner in the single family investment arena. He knew it was my first deal and we looked at so many properties before finally getting a deal. Jonathan was always willing to give me the details even after about 10 deals fell through for me.

To those that read this, as an overly cautious investor I compared multiple lenders both locally and nationally before funding my latest deal, and prior to even becoming a client from start to finish, Jessica S. and the entire Catalyst team (shout outs to Trinh D. and Tina F. AKA Tina Fey) showed they not only wanted my business, they wanted to EARN MY CONTINUED BUSINESS!They offered the best terms of any lender that I consulted and their process from funding to draw was easy and straightforward. The service they offered was by far the best I have ever experienced.Ill definitely be doing more deals with Catalyst and highly recommend them to anyone as well!

Wow. Gonna be honest, just getting started in real estate investment loans and trying to figure out all this stuff about hard money loans. Wade went above and beyond in talking me through the process, because I wasn’t sure if I wanted a fix and flip loan, or a buy and hold loan. His knowledge, patience, and expertise were much better than another Houston hard money lender I spoke with. I can’t wait to get started on my first rehab and highly recommend getting the free one-on-one consultation that they offer.

Specifically told an officer not to run my credit because I only needed some basics quotes. After the horrible customer service I received I spoke with the owner and was told Id get a better rate for my issue of my credit being ran after Specifically telling the officer not it was done anyway and the kicker they were referred by a real estate company whom I will let know and anyone I cone in contact with about my horrible experience and still didnt get the loan when I had multiple lenders offering. Its a lot of lending companies out that I would use because Catalyst has awful customer service.

I CANT BELIEVE IM SAYING THIS, BUT... IM A REAL ESTATE INVESTOR!!! Just several months ago, my wife and I had no prior real estate investing knowledge or experience! In fact, we werent even sure how it worked or if we could even be approved, but the folks at Catalyst Funding showed us how! We closed on our first property in early March, and just finished the rehab! From purchase & financing; throughout rehab; and now to listing and marketing, the folks at Catalyst Funding have been there every step of the way to help us and answer all our questions! They call to check on us and have a vested interest in MY SUCCESS!Our first investment property is being listed early next week, and were already excited about our next one! Thanks to the Catalyst Funding Team for all the personal care and attention and special thanks to Janine for all her help!PS: I know they call it Hard Money Lending, but it really was EASY!

As a first time VERY nervous investor Alex Garza helped me do a cash out refinance on my primary home. From the get go Alex was so easy to work with. As the process moved along I had A LOT of questions. He answered every single one without hesitation and took a lot of time to educate me on different topics. In fact, after my initial appraisal of my house we came to an agreement of my loan amount. Fast forward, after an appraiser came out it was appraised at a higher amount than the original amount and Alex was able to get me more money for investing! Friendly, knowledgeable and very comforting for a first time investor. Ill definitely be using him for real estate investments moving forward. Thank you Alex!

Working with Catalyst, and Austin in particular, for my hard money loan made our acquisition go very smoothly through the whole process. Austin was extremely responsive and helpful in addressing all my questions. I did shop around a bit and found their rates to be very competitive as well, which was a driving factor for me in choosing to work with them in the first place. The level of service will keep me coming back on future acquisitions. I highly recommend Catalyst even for new investors!

After two completed transactions with Catalyst, I can only say that they have made a complicated process extremely easy. Its great to have one point person to work with through both the hard money stage and all the way through the conventional refinance. Every single person I dealt with was great, but I have to especially recognize my main point of contact Alex for his patience and good attitude. These deals can be trying sometimes and there are always a few hiccups when dealing with a massive property rehab, but Alex was a pro throughout the process. Another highlight was the hard money inspector George. He was extremely thorough and professional and went way above and beyond the norm by treating our deal as if it were his own. I highly recommend this company.

Ive been flipping houses for 5 years and always went with a conventional loan until a friend recommended Jessica Sauceda and Catalyst Funding. Jessica was awesome during the entire process. This was the first pleasant experience Ive had getting a home loan. Most mortgage companies drag it out for what always seems like an eternity, not at Catalyst. From the time I signed my contract to closing was about 2 weeks. I will definitely use them again and I highly recommend them.

The folks at Catalyst Funding have been awesome from day one! Working with my Lifestyles Unlimited Realtor Moon Kim , I purchased two properties in Houston using Catalyst Funding hard money loans. We are almost finished with the rehab on one of the properties and about to refinance into a 30 year fixed loan and start the rehab on the 2nd property. They even helped me notarize and fill out the lender draw documents right in their office when I made the trip down to Houston.

We recently used Catalyst Funding as our Hard Money Lender for a rehab project. The overall experience was excellent. They were willing to sit down and discuss not only this project, but our long term investing goals. Their lending application process was relatively easy, they provided all relevant information regarding the loan and fees, the loan was provided in a timely manner, and the repair draw process was also easy. We have used other lenders before which had hidden expenses and made repair draws difficult, but working with Catalyst demonstrated they are a superior lender. Look forward to working with them again.

Ernest Powell and Anna Chambliss we’re both amazing to work with. Together they helped me and my wife get a really amazing rate on our rental properties and we’re able to close exactly when we needed to! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to finance a primary or investment property.

Starting with my first hard money deal, everything was very intimidating. David Lipnicki took the time to break everything down and allowed me the opportunity to figure out what made the most sense moving forward for myself and my family. Definitely would recommend working with him in the future!

Alex Garza got it done for me. My initial loan came back with a good but not great interest rate, and I asked him to see what he could do to get it lower. Without hesitation he greased the wheels and was able to get me an even better rate and closed quick. Ask for Alex- he’ll take care of you.

Glad I found these guys! Great experienced team of professionals.They recently helped me close a home run deal in north Houston very quickly. They made the whole process, which I expected to be complicated, very simple and easy! I will definitely be using them again on my next acquisition. Highly recommended!

David Lipnicki was a major support as we worked through multiple purchase to renovate deals. He provided estimates of all costs a few times to help us understand the costs for a hard money loan for a specific deal. We were able to find a home that worked with the numbers and Catalyst was there to help us all the way to close. They even assisted us in preparing to refi out of the hard money loan after the renovation work is completed.

This is a great group of people to work with. From my first inquiry about pre-approval to the closing of my first deal, they are quick to answer all of my questions and give me the hand holding I needed to complete my first rental investment.

Austin Pool was wonderful to work with! The team with SNMC did a fantastic job throughout the process and made the refinance process a breeze. As a self-employed business owner, the other options from competitors werent great (basically double the interest rate, with penalties, with fees, etc), but with SNMC I was able to lock in 30 year fixed rate financing at 4% on one deal and 3.875% on another deal even getting cash back! I am thrilled to say the least! Will use again and again with all of our investment properties!

Review №119

Super quick for the hard money deal, which is needed in the industry, allowed us to beat out competitors due to time constraints. All of that isnt even mentioning that they start the refinancing process immediately, so the closing post upgrades is seamless as well. My experience was so good, I used them on the following deal 2 weeks later!

Review №121

I had no lender or experience in hard money borrowing when an opportunity popped up. The team at Catalyst jumped on the deal and prequalified me at our first meeting on a Monday, and by the following Friday, the deal closed. It was a whirlwind, and it never could have been accomplished without, not only their expertise, but also their efforts, above and beyond the call of duty to service a first time customer. You will be in good hands working with Wade, Jeff, Jesse, and their closers.

Highly recommended and will definitely use them again in the future!

If you’re going to cash out refi, refi or do anything with real estate ask for Zach Gabel at Catalyst Funding. I tried to cash out refi twice with two different lenders and it went nowhere. Talked to Zach and he all but assured that we would be done by Christmas and we were. I telling you the process was so smooth it’s almost effortless. Send the docs they need and him and his team get you closed period. I’m recommending him to all my friends. Thanks Again Zach.
