I am a commercial real estate investor. Over the years I have invested in different types of commercial and residential assets. There is so much that goes into getting a deal done ... but I think the most critical is the financing. To be more specific, the most critical member on your team is your mortgage broker or lender.

I met Terry Painter six years ago, and he has closed the loans on most of my deals. Terry is a critical member of my team. Terry has not only made me money but also saved me in doing bad deals, therefore saving me money. Terry has helped me put deals together, as well as being the glue to keep deals together.

I go to Terry first for all my real estate projects, because he is not your typical commercial mortgage broker. When I talk to Terry about a project, I always seem to learn something about financing and real estate. Terry educates me about my project, not the other way around. If you have done a few deals that require financing, then you know what I mean. It is a waste of time and money when you have to educate your mortgage broker. I love the fact that Terry knows more than I do.

There have been times where I will just call Terry up for advice regarding an asset, and Terry will go above and beyond to help me even when there is nothing in it for him.

Terry Painter is my mortgage broker and my friend, and I highly recommend his services. If Terry can’t finance your deal ... it is probably a deal you should not be doing.
