Sellers won't fix up a house they're leaving. Buyers can't fix up a house they don't own yet. That's the catch that kills most fixer-upper deals, and it's exactly what renovation loans are built to solve.

The house everyone else is passing on might be the best deal you never took.

HELOCs aren't the only way real estate investors access home equity, and for many, they're not even the best option.

Banks want clean tax returns. But investors often write off expenses and get denied. Fortunately, there are better ways to unlock what your portfolio's already worth.

What's your favorite part about Truehold?
The best part about working at Truehold is the people. No question. There are so many different types of backgrounds and expertise that I get to collaborate with. I love learning something new every week. Whether it's underwriting, engineering, data or AI, everyone is so open to collaborating and sharing their ideas about making the best products we can. It's so refreshing and my favorite part about working with startups for the last 10+ years.

What is your role at Truehold?
I oversee everything organic: search, PR, content, and social. In other words, the very thing you're reading right now.

What do you find most exciting about your role?
I am definitely looking forward to seeing even more Truehold Financial products come to life. When I joined Truehold, we were only offering home sale transactions, but getting into consumer loans and investor loans completely rounds out our offering and mission. Now, we're a one-stop-shop for people who want to explore easy equity access. That's a game-changer.

📊 Your tax returns show minimal income. Maybe even losses.

But here's what they don't show: the cash flow your properties generate every month. The consistent rent payments. The portfolio that keeps growing.

DSCR loans from Truehold Financial focus on property performance instead of paperwork, so you can keep scaling without being penalized for smart tax planning.

Shawn had a vision: build a new home for his five kids, launch his motivational speaking business, and eventually open a youth development center. But with five kids under seven, a traditional home sale felt impossible.

Truehold's sell and stay transaction gave him access to his home equity without moving—so he could start funding his dreams and focusing on what mattered most.
