“No matter how many or how big real estate projects one does, you can never escape the possibility that things will not go as planned. I have developed 200 million dollar signature mixed-used high-rise towers to 1.5 million dollar remodels, and invariably some things just aren’t predictable; sometimes you need unexpected funding fast.
Twenty-five days after receiving a signed and approved term sheet with a local bank and five days from an anticipated funding date, the bank backed out of the deal. I had created, as landlord, an unsubordinated ground lease with a major publicly traded hotel company as the tenant who was spending 60 million dollars improving my property. It was my responsibility to purchase the leasehold interests of the remaining tenants within 10 days after the bank rejection at a cost of $1,250,000 or face an optioned sale to the ground tenant at a four million dollar discount.
I called Owens Financial. The next day they flew into town, inspected the property and funded seven days later. This is just one example of the number of times I needed to call Owens Financial to help keep a deal on track.
Owens Financial stands behind their quotes, they are fair with their pricing, they perform beyond expectation, and gets the job done as and when it is needed. They are right there with creative solutions to overcome the many challenges that arise, and truly step out of the box to make things happen. I only wish they would open a bank.
If you have a real estate project with real recognizable value, they’ll work with you to do the deal. Owens Financial is A+++.”

Owens consistently provides decisive feedback, executes quick and efficient closings, and applies creative approaches to underwriting and structuring transactions. Owens can immediately grasp a property's real potential, and this allows them to consider a creative, flexible structure on a financing that other lenders would shy away from. I always know what to expect when I bring an opportunity to Owens. If they can fund a loan I know immediately, and my client has secured the funds they need in as little as 3 weeks from our initial discussion."
