I called to get funding info. I stated to the representative that I had not done a fix and flip before and have a general understanding. I assumed I would talk to someone who can help me better prepare and see if this company would work for me and my deal. I am aware that there are several options out here to get funded, we are entitled to weigh our options! As an investor in several other capacities (outside of real estate), family members in real estate, and a reputable business owner. I was transferred and held for nearly 7-minutes - patiently. Only to have a dry and rude man answer the phone. I am not sure if Google allows you to state their name but I will leave a review on trust pilot. He must have gotten his personality from a cracker jack box but this is business and I let that go. He did not really introduce himself I had to ask for his name. He just answered the phone and said "Have you worked in Real Estate? What deals did you have? How long?" That was off-putting but I am a tough person so I just proceeded to answer his questions. I understood that maybe there is a process. I answered him and told him I had rentals only. He proceeds to get more pompous. Then he went silent; just dead air on the phone. I said "Hello, are you there?" and this guy (with his stunning personality) just says "Yeah. I'm taking notes." At this point, I am ready to just politely leave the conversation and call the other company. I continued to answer his questions but was very uncomfortable and then he (says MY tone is bad). First, I am a woman and I was polite and answered him. Yet, he states "based on your tone, you seem frustrated with my questions and I have to ask them." no sir, I am second-guessing working with such an unprofessional person. I called with research, properties, and other companies I was considering, and this jerk on the other end talked to me like a 5-year-old or some "young woman" wasting his time. So here's a tip, COGO, when your reviews are terrible (like they are) treat ALL people with some sort of dignity. You need deals, I didn't have to call your company and I chose to call your company. I would caution those calling in for inquiries and do not feel a company should be trusted when that is their interactions with "clients/partners". If you did not work with novice fix and flippers (although after researching that is not true), it is better to say that and move on. COGO = NO GO! I dodged a bullet because it appears they are even worse with their deals. Just read the other reviews to see for yourself. RUN!

Terrible lender. I did a application with them to find out they were going to be closed for 2 weeks during the holidays so I pulled the application before they opened and went with another lender. I asked for my fee back and was told they spent money on credit check and background check so they would not refund. I'm not sure how they could of spent money processing my loan when they were closed and loan was pulled before they opened. I also had another loan with them at the same time and I did try to move forward with that one but it never got to the closing table after 4 extensions. The requests and paperwork is beyond anything I have ever seen. They are not a investor friendly lender to many hoops to jump thru and requests. Some of them I could not even get 9 different insurance companies to comply with their request. I could go on and on but I think you get the idea. Stay Away

I have been working with Dallas Ausmus for a few months now and I have nothing but good things to say about him. Anyone in this industry can tell you that things happen all the time that can really curb a deal and cause you to have that unfortunate conversation to ask for more time with closing.. with Dallas on the team, he ensures that doesn't happen. Great work ethic and great person to work with.
