Anyone heard of David Shell, private money lender, "Secured Lending Solutions" in OH?

Hi everyone, just curious if anyone has heard of or done any business with David Shell, of Secured Lending Solutions? The website looks legit, there's a picture of him and his wife Shelley Shell. I'm using the phone number on the website to speak with him directly. And there's a physical address in Ohio on the website, along with a PO for their second location in Tennessee. I also found a registration of the LLC and his name on the OHIO.gov website, though it was only filed recently on June 12, 2023.

The website www.SecuredLendingSolutions.com comes up fine on my office computer and my phone, but at home my anti-virus program says the website is being blocked because it's "infected" with a "URL:Blacklist". I looked that up and that's not technically an infection, it's just saying the site may not be safe so the anti-virus blocks it. That's the only thing that's making me wonder if this could be a scam. Other than that nothing fishy in my conversations, no upfront fees being asked for, just a private loan of $200K-$300K on a property with over $1M equity.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

If unsure do everything through a title company. Have the title company communicate with them and in five minutes they will be able to tell if legit
