I reached out to Prime Plus and they were able to make it happen. Very friendly, easy to apply, great rates. I will definitely be using them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bob came in and saved the day.  After losing a deal from another lender we were able to have Prime Plus in 48 hours put the entire thing together and fund on time.  Plus the fees and deal itself saved us more money in the end also!  Thanks Bob.  See you on the next deal.
