Management Team

Three co-founding members of Short Funding, LLC are professional real estate investors with hundreds of deals under their belt using private mortgage lenders. The business was formed because of our direct experiences in the current market and our own challenges with title companies refusing to close back-to-back house flips in Denver, Colorado.

There was a need in the market and Short Funding is successfully filling that need by providing easier access to capital funds and superior service over the current group of transactional funding companies.

“Our purpose is to help real estate investors get more deal volume with higher profit margins by lowering the cost of funds, and making the process of flipping more efficient.”

The founders’ bring varied skill sets and real world experience to the company for the benefit of our investors, customers and vendor relationships. The individual and combined knowledge of the managers is beneficial to all parties that engage in a business relationship with our team. Please consider becoming a valued client of Short Funding on your next flip transaction.
