Dominque found she had a knack for the business and had amassed an impressive 45 deals by the time she was 19. Over the years she has gone all in on real estate investing and honed mastered her craft.

Today she focuses on flipping homes in the vibrant city of New Orleans, but that isn’t even the best part. Dominique has taken the concept of working to the next level!

This week’s episode is a special one! We decided to bring one of the most important members of our real estate investing team onto the show, our mortgage lender Travis David of CMG Home Loans. Whether you are a traditional homebuyer purchasing a primary residence or a savvy real estate investor, you know that finding financing for each property can be daunting.

A seasoned mortgage lender can provide expert guidance throughout the financing process to help you make informed decisions aligned with your investment goals. They should not only be able to offer a wide range of financing options tailored to your investing strategy, but also ensure that you are able to close even on tight timelines.

We’ve interviewed more lenders than we’d care to mention over the years and understand how trying the process can be. Having used lenders referred to us from previous real estate agents on several deals has allowed us to experience a wide range offerings and vet out the good from the bad. We’ve never had a better experience than working with Travis. What sets him apart from the rest outside of his 20 years of experience in the mortgage business is that he is a real estate investor himself. He understands the numbers and knows what it takes to get a deal to the closing table.  

To help you on your journey, Travis has agreed to educate our community and assist anyone looking for real estate financing. Whether you are a real estate investor or simply looking to purchase a primary residence, Travis will be able to point you in the right direction. He provides each of his clients with a tailored roadmap designed to guide them through purchasing their first investment property and strategically scale their portfolios over time.
