Hi. My name is J.J. Artal, and my husband, Scott, and I own Latra Investments. We are a young company offering wholesaling and private money brokering. Being young does not make us a scam. We have been very well trained and have invested much of our time and money to place ourselves in a legitimate business offering services to flippers and investors. Advertising on CL (since rehabbers look there for properties, and it's a free advertising) is one of the most commonly suggested methods of finding investors you can serve.
Since investing is an asset-based business, putting your deal under contract is always the first suggestion. We would never ask for money up front, and you should be concerned of anyone who does. We are new, so we answer calls until 9pm CST every night, growing a business. I pride myself on follow-up that is diligent, professional, and personal. We have prayed on this business for a long time. Our website will tell you that we are Christian-based and service-driven.
We are actually HERE on bigger pockets. We are on connected investors, linkedin, instagram, facebook, and we have our own website. We are educated through multiple real estate systems. As I type this, we are 1000s of miles from home where we have flown specifically to invest time being mentored by a very well known multi-million dollar investor.
While I am disheartened that our over-the-top service just seemed to make you leery, I applaud your due diligence in seeking information about us, John. I hope there is some way that we can develop better trust with you in the future. We are highly transparent. If there is anything you would like to know, or want references on our behalf, please ask.
