Prime Plus really helped me in a bind. My usual hard money lender was unable to close with the date I needed. 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!

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.

We were in a bind with our lender and Bob worked nothing less than what I can call magic to get us closed in 72 hours. Highly recommended, extremely professional and responsive. I could not give any higher praise to Bob and his team.
