    "James was simply incredible in helping me and my business partner obtain financing on our first major apartment acquisition. He made possible what we had previously believed was impossible given our limited prior apartment business experience. James was able to secure a non-recourse Fannie Mae loan of $3.52MM which was at full 80% ARV, along with the massively valuable step-down pre-payment schedule instead of yield maintenance, 3 years interest-only period, and a very competitive 10-year fixed interest rate of 4.83%. Not only were we amazed that James was able to provide us a non-recourse agency loan, but just prior to closing he was able to negotiate the step-down pre-payment which could potentially save us hundreds of thousands of dollars on sale of the property.

    In addition to James's incredible ability to obtain very favorable loan terms, he was a dream to work with at every level. He is highly engaged, a superb communicator, highly detailed oriented, and a deep source of knowledge and experience. James was with us on all the paperwork and communications from start to finish. His response times to phone calls and emails are unparalleled. He was one of the first to contact me when closing was completed.

    I cannot overstate the value and quality that James brings to the table. Simply put, he sets the standard for client satisfaction and service quality. There is no doubt in my mind that James is a permanent member of my multifamily acquisition team. “

    Ryan Fong, GP of 46West Apartments, LLC

    "James helped us for the loan assumption and supplement loan to acquire 260 units of multi-family properties in Irving, Texas. Due to the original loan structure, the deal must be closed within 50 days, which puts a high amount of pressure on me and my partner. James relieved a significant portion of stress by demonstrating tremendous wealth of knowledge in lending and gave us the confidence that he could help us close the deal within the given time-frame. He even worked very hard to close the loan earlier. He walked through units together with us when we were doing due diligent. At the property, he accompanied with us when the lender came out to do the inspection. He even pushed the underwriter to come out to do inspection one week earlier than planned. James always responded very quickly whenever we needed something. He was responsive on the phone no matter how late we called him and was able to help us get more than the loan amount that we had originally expected. We felt extremely fortunate to have James on our team. With James’ help, we were able to close the transaction in 44 days after our LOI was accepted. There is no way we could have done it without his help! James' confidence, knowledge, diligence, professionalism, and leadership made the stressful loan process very easy for everyone who was involved. Thanks again James! I would highly recommend James for real estate investors seeking commercial loan. “

    Tim Lin, GP of TS Asset Tierra LLC

    “James is really fantastic to work with. He helped me secure a 6.8 million Fannie Mae loan for a multifamily acquisition and made the whole process very smooth and painless. In this particular transaction, James got me $800K more in loan amount than a couple of other lenders I was working with and proved yet again that all lenders are not created equal. James demonstrated exceptional knowledge in lending and has been very diligent and very personable work with. He quarterbacked the whole transaction and kept everyone involved on their toes and closed the transaction smoothly. Thanks to James, I haven't had one thing to worry the whole time due to his crystal clear communication at all times.”

    Venkat Avasarala, GP of 6816 West Bethany Home Road LLC

    “We closed on a 78 unit property last week, and got a 75% LTV loan through James Eng that was 4.5%, only a 1% early refi penalty, and NO prepay penalty if we were to sell. This included 75% of a $5700/dr rehab budget. The deal wouldn't qualify for agency debt due to very low occupancy and heavy rehab needed, so James got us a great bank loan. We barely even had financials so it's pretty impressive that James was able to pull that off.”

    Tom Lafferty, General Partner RP 503 LLC

    "James was a tremendous wealth of knowledge for me and my team not only throughout the process, but also prior to us even getting a deal. He patiently answered all of our questions prior to even having a deal under contract, and that patience, knowledge, and helpfulness was ultimately the reason we went with James and Old Capital for our debt financing. Once under contract James kept me and my business partners on track throughout the process and helped handle issues not only with the bank, but with the other parties on the deal as well. I would highly recommend James for any new or seasoned commercial real estate investors looking for a mortgage broker who will get you the best possible debt, and help get the deal closed."

    Ben Suttles, Managing Director of Valorem Investment Partners

    "James Eng is results driven, detail oriented, a great communicator and consummate professional. He exceeded expectations with his deep knowledge of the business and tenacity to ensure all parties were always on the same page. James was instrumental in the successful and smooth closing of my first commercial loan of $5.2MM dollars. – in fact we closed 5 days early with an amazing rate! He was always ready and willing to answer any questions I may have – day or night and really went the extra mile and gave me excellent service. I could not be more pleased with him for doing such an outstanding job. Thank you James, looking forward working with you again soon! “

    Andre Segura, GP of Los Robles

    "James' proactive mindset is what sets him apart from other mortgage brokers. What can be a daunting process loaded with challenges, James' leadership abilities with all stakeholders’ drives them to resolve those challenges actively along the way. My apartment financing was no exception, yet James' constant diligence, tempered with professionalism, put everyone at ease and got the job done. Thanks again James."

    Doug Pereyda, Director, PMO, Chegg Inc.

    "James did a fantastic job overseeing and helping execute a refinance deal (over $1M) for our multi-family property in 2015. He was very organized and kept the deal moving. He was able to identify what needed to be done and wasn't afraid to do it himself. I would highly recommend James for any investment real estate deal."

    Taylor Parker, Property Manager, Partner, Investment Real Estate

    "James was instrumental in helping us close on our first multi-family apartment complex. He was helpful in describing the financing process and kept us informed throughout. He was diligent in staying in communication with us and we really appreciate his personal availability. I would definitely recommend working with James! “

    Angie Rackler, NA & LTAM Sales Consultant, Global Sales Learning Delivery, Intel Security

    "James really lived up to his reputation as a multifamily financing all-star! On a recent transaction, we were working with another broker on a 100+ unit deal in Houston but then had our lender back out at the 11th hour. We had already extended our contract twice and the seller was going to walk if we couldn't close in the remaining 20 days we had. We brought the deal to James after reviewing all the facts he quickly presented us with a few realistic options that met our goals, which was primarily certainty of execution. James coached us through the entire process and worked hand-in-hand with the lender to get us smoothly over the finish line. In fact, James and the lender were ready to close a few days prior to our contract expiring.

    James has a wealth of knowledge on multifamily financing, provides customized solutions, is a clear communicator and a ultimate professional to work with in this business. James is a true partner and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to secure debt on multifamily properties nationwide. I look forward to working with James again in the near future.“

    Shane Thomas, GP of 2101 Mustang LLC

    “James did an outstanding job of ensuring my loan process went smoothly. Being a first time apartment syndicator, I needed an experienced loan advisor on my team - James filled this role perfectly. He communicated often with me throughout the process and made sure I avoided rookie mistakes. He kept me on task with critical items, while he handled other minor items independently. As a result, I was able to focus on other aspects of the syndication - and he even got the loan closed early! I highly recommend James as your apartment loan broker!”

    Jade Laye, GP of West Gulf Bank LLC
