Where Creativity Meets Capital Gains
Before You Build, Remodel, or Even Dream—Ask the Right Questions:
- Is your layout functional for you—and for the next buyer or tenant?
- Will your design meet appraisal standards and boost property value?
- Are you maximizing natural light, privacy, and flow—or creating expensive regrets?
- How will your finishes and materials affect rental income or long-term maintenance?
- Do you have a designer who collaborates with your lender—not just your vision? The right design isn’t just about style—it’s about strategy.
Why Design Matters in Wealth Building
Most people don’t realize how much a great architect or designer can influence their net worth. Whether it’s a custom build or a rental renovation, you’re not just creating a space—you’re shaping the value of an appreciating asset.
Smart design can:
Real Story – Investor Spotlight
One of our clients bought a 4-bedroom duplex as a fixer. Originally planning a simple cosmetic update, we connected him with a designer who reworked the living room layout, added a flex office space, and upgraded lighting for under $12K.
Result: The appraisal came back $48K higher, rent increased by $425/month—and the home sold two years later for $110K more than projected.
Design paid for itself tenfold.

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.
