Builders & Contractors
From Foundation to Freedom—Build With Strategy, Not Just Steel
Before You Hire a Contractor or Start a Build, Consider These Questions:
- Are you planning for what you want, or what the market will reward?
- Will your contractor respect your timeline and your budget?
- Are you leveraging construction loans, renovation financing, or private capital the right way?
- Will your build increase net worth, or just cost you?
- Are you working with pros who understand value creation, not just craftsmanship?
Smart building isn’t just about hammer and nails.
It’s about vision, efficiency, and strategic growth.
Why Builders and Contractors Are Wealth Partners
Whether you’re a homeowner renovating for equity or an investor scaling your portfolio, your contractor is a key piece of your wealth-building team.
When they work closely with your loan advisor and real estate strategy, your build doesn’t just look good—it performs well.
They help:
Real Project Spotlight
Speed + Smarts = Profit
A first-time investor bought a 1950s duplex with a 2-month flip plan. The contractor in our network proposed a layout change that cost $6K more upfront—but reduced construction time by 3 weeks and pushed the resale $35K higher thanks to added living space.

First-time home purchase and refinance with fast closing
Great customer service! We were living in California for 20+ years, and every year our rent went up, so we decided to move to Virginia and get our own house. Jim helped us with our very first home mortgage and constantly updated us with the lowering rates. After we were presented with different options, we decided to do a refi, and his team made it possible for us to grab the opportunity to shorten our term from 30 to 15 years at a much lower rate. In just around three weeks we were able to close. Me and my family will definitely recommend them!

Guidance through the purchase process with clear explanations
They worked with me on the purchase process. Their knowledge helped me to choose the option that was most convenient. From the beginning they explained the process. Thanks Jim!

Investor-friendly lender who goes the extra mile
I'm an RE investor. Had multiple loan officers but one really stands out – JIM BLACKBURN. Now, he is working on a third deal with me. He does go the extra mile. A few examples from the past: I have tons of properties and live in China with unique income (he made it work!). He called me in China at 1 AM to get information to close the deal. He is super efficient with collecting the right documents upfront to avoid a lot of back and forth later with processors. You can't go wrong with Jim.
