Hi Shawn, When I left banking during the last major crash and started this company, we primarily were a commercial bridge lender, but we also were a real estate investor.

The major damage was to 35 computer stations and various other electronic equipment, as well as buildouts, furnishings, etc.

We buy houses in major markets in the states of TN, TX, OK and AR.
