The team

An operator and an executor, working the same file.

Funded by Tapia exists because the two things investors need most — sharp capital structure and relentless execution — usually live in two different people who never talk. Here, they're married.

Financial architecture for real estate scale.

I don't just clear loans; I build financial architecture for real estate scale. As an active investor managing luxury spec builds, ground-up construction, and lot splits, I view leverage through the lens of an operator — not a transactional lender.

Licensed to lend in 19 states — AL, AZ, AR, CA, DE, DC, FL, ID, IA, ME, MD, MI, OH, OR, SD, TN, TX, WA, and WY — I help developers, builders, and self-employed professionals maximize liquidity and velocity. As a mortgage professional, active investor, and CA realtor, we bypass rigid retail guidelines to deliver high-leverage, investor-centric debt structures.

  • Construction & Scale — advanced ground-up financing, luxury spec-building capital, and mid-construction refinances.
  • Creative Debt — deep-leverage DSCR loans, non-recourse options, and bridge-to-sell financing.
  • Liquidity Access — white-label, digital investor HELOCs engineered for self-employed professionals.

Strategies are built on paper. Files are won in execution.

In real estate and mortgage lending, speed and certainty are everything. As a top-producing Senior Processor consistently recognized at the highest levels of the company, I ensure that high-volume, complex capital structures move seamlessly from application to a clear-to-close.

Specializing in unconventional financing, investor portfolios, and complex corporate entities, I bridge the gap between structure and speed. My focus is simple: bulletproof file compilation, direct underwriter navigation, and absolute friction removal for our clients. Licensed across 37 states, ranked #1 company-wide (Gold), with a 5.0-star average across 317 broker reviews (since September 2025) and 410 funded units. In June alone: 62 files closed, $20,648,778 in volume, and a 26-day average turn time. See third-party processing services.

Why performance matters

  • Elite execution — a spot at the top of the company ranking reflects volume handled and deadlines met.
  • Investor-speed processing — developers can't afford a single day of un-leveraged capital, so the pipeline runs with aggressive efficiency.
  • Proactive problem solving — I anticipate underwriter conditions before they're issued, packaging every file for immediate, clean approval.
