HERE'S WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY:
What People Are Saying:
Excellent Service
Bill is an exceptional loan officer. He helped us to purchase our home with very personal and professional service. He helped us navigate the whole process from start to closing without any problems. We didn't think we're qualified to purchase a house, but Bill went above and beyond to find a way to help us achieve our goal. He always responded very quickly with our requests, he would come back with different options with comparison chart to clearly indicate how much we need for down payment, monthly payments, interest rates, closing costs etc.
We would highly recommend Bill to anyone in need of lending services. In fact, we have already recommended Bill to one of our friends on purchasing a house.

Great experience!
Well I meet bill back in December 2016 he got recommended by my real estate agent we had a house in sight and started the process to get approved but we fail due to my work history and credit bill told me not to give up and put me in contact with a credit repair company they help me bring my score up and bill walk me thru the process of getting a new line so this time around we got approved before looking for our house after we found it we still had a couple of hick up but with bills help on Sunday 6-18-17 to be exact Father's Day bill called me to give me the great news that we had got approved and the closing date was as scheduled bill was more than just a lender to my family he became a friend and I'm alway going to have him in mind for any other financial situation.
--- Alejandres Felimon - Richmond, TX
I really liked his attitude!
I wouldn't usually say this but the way he had handled my mortgage was really pleasant. I personally enjoyed the time spent with him while we discussed feasible rates. He's a great man with a great personality and he offered really low interests as well. Definitely recommend him to others.
--- Tom Troiano - Atlantic City, NJ
He's nothing short of a miracle!
I'm a self-employed businessman and had him figure out the mortgage of the house after 30% down payment. The interest rates I received were incredibly low given what I had thought of earlier. One other important thing to note was that I hadn't really taken any loans earlier, so I had no credit history. He helped me out with all that as well so I can't really call him anything else but a miracle.
--- Fran Suarez - Cleveland, OH
He's really helpful!
I made a bid to him and the very same day he gave me an offer which I couldn't resist. It was too intimidating with those incredibly low interest rates and all, thoroughly recommend him.
--- Kenny Mickle - Houston, TX

Bill was very expeditious and made it real easy going through the loan process. I felt he was on top of things.
I deal with investment properties and will more than likely call on him again.

Bill was great!
Bill made us feel like a friend all the way thru the process. He was patient and explained everything he needed clearly. He was available ANYTIME we had questions or needed more information. Hopefully we wonāt go thru this process again anytime soon, but if we do - weād choose Bill! =)
--- Barbra & Nick Grimmer - Austin, TX
Great broker!
Bill was a great broker to work with. As first time home buyers we had many questions about the process, Bill took the time to help us even calling us back on weekends with answers. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a broker to work with.
--- Murray & Lisa Turner - Pensacola, FL
Outstanding service!
I couldn't have been more pleased with Bill's level of service. He made what is typically a lengthy, arduous process far quicker and easier at every turn. I'm extremely comfortable recommending Bill to friends and family, and will definitely utilize his services again!

FHA 203 H Loan Product
The Section 203(h) program allows the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to insure mortgages made by qualified lenders to victims of a major disaster who have lost their homes and are in the process of rebuilding or buying another home.
Purpose:
Through Section 203(h), the Federal Government helps victims in Presidentially designated disaster areas recover by making it easier for them to get mortgages and become homeowners or re-establish themselves as homeowners.
Type of Assistance:
This program provides mortgage insurance to protect lenders against the risk of default on mortgages to qualified disaster victims. Individuals are eligible for this program if their homes are located in an area that was designated by the President as a disaster area and if their homes were destroyed or damaged to such an extent that reconstruction or replacement is necessary. Insured mortgages may be used to finance the purchase or reconstruction of a one-family home that will be the principal residence of the homeowner. Like the basic FHA mortgage insurance program it resembles (Section 203(b) Mortgage Insurance for One to Four Family Homes), Section 203(h) offers features that make recovery from a disaster easier for homeowners:
No down payment is required. The borrower is eligible for 100 percent financing. Closing costs and prepaid expenses must be paid by the borrower in cash or paid through premium pricing or by the seller, subject to a 6 percent limitation on seller concessions.
FHA mortgage insurance is not free. Mortgagees collect from the borrowers an up-front insurance premium (which may be financed) at the time of purchase, as well as monthly premiums that are not financed, but instead are added to the regular mortgage payment.
HUD sets limits on the amount that may be insured. To make sure that its programs serve low and moderate income people, FHA sets limits on the dollar value of the mortgage. The current FHA mortgage limit can be viewed online. These figures vary over time and by place, depending on the cost of living and other factors (higher limits also exist for two to four family properties).
Eligible Customers:
Anyone whose home has been destroyed or severely damaged in a Presidentially declared disaster area is eligible to apply for mortgage insurance under this program.
Application:
The borrower's application for mortgage insurance must be submitted to the lender within one year of the President's declaration of the disaster. Applications are made through an FHA approved lending institution, who make their requests through a provision known as "Direct Endorsement," which authorizes them to consider applications without submitting paperwork to HUD. Mortgage insurance processing and administration for this and other FHA single family mortgage insurance products are handled through HUD's Homeownership Centers.

š° CRE Comeback: Office Buildings Selling at Huge Discounts! š°
š° CRE Comeback: Office Buildings Selling at Huge Discounts! š°
š Office Market: Why Investors Are Buying at 83% Discounts! š
For the past few years, Chicagoās office market has been, letās just sayā¦ a tough sell. High interest rates, political uncertainty, and growing crime concerns had many investors sitting on the sidelines, watching buildings struggle with vacancies and dropping valuations. But now? Things are shiftingāand fast.
In a surprising turn, weāve seen four major office deals close or approach closing in just the past few weeks. And they arenāt just small transactionsāthese are deep-discount acquisitions that have caught the attention of opportunistic buyers. The key question: Why now? Letās break it down.š
š° A Reset in PricingāBargain Hunting Begins
According to Andrew Brog of Brog Properties, the reset in Chicago office pricing is undeniable. His firm just scooped up a 16-story office building at 550 W. Washington Blvd. for a jaw-dropping $18.5M in all cashāa staggering 83% discount from the $111M price tag MetLife paid in 2013 when it was fully leased.
His take? Investors who arenāt from Chicago have an advantage because they arenāt emotionally attached to the pain of the last few years. They see the numbers, not just the struggles.
"You can't be from Chicago and be buying these buildings," Brog said.
"Or if you are from Chicago, you have to have never owned an office building in Chicago. And why? Because you can't see the opportunity, because you're going through pain.ā
Translation: Outside investors smell blood in the water and theyāre ready to pounce. š¦
šļø The Value is in the Steel and Glass
Another big move? A joint venture between 601W Cos. and David Werner Real Estate Investments just picked up 303 E. Wacker for $63Māa whopping 66% drop from its 2018 price of $182M.
Ran Eliasaf of Northwind Group, which financed the deal, put it bluntly:
š āAt a $35 per square foot basis, we feel comfortable with almost any building. Basically, the value of the glass and the steel is more.ā
In simple terms: When a buildingās price drops so low that the physical materials itās made from are arguably worth more than the purchase price, investors start paying attention. š¤Æ
š¢ Whatās Next for Chicagoās Office Market?
Despite these big plays, not every investor is convinced this is the start of a full-blown rebound. Eliasaf, for example, called his firmās Wacker Drive deal a āone-offāāa rare moment where every factor aligned perfectly:
ā
Strong location
ā
Reliable cash flow
ā
Good tenancy mix (no over-reliance on one major tenant)
ā
Experienced buyers who have done multiple deals with Northwind before
That said, Brog is all-in on the idea that Chicagoās office market is on the verge of a comeback. He already owns two other office properties in the city and is looking for his next deal in the Central Loop. His strategy?
š Upgrading amenities
šļø Doing build-to-suit deals
š Offering competitive rates thanks to the low-cost acquisition
š Why Some Investors Are Betting Big on Chicago
Itās not just about cheap dealsāitās about Chicago itself. Brog believes the cityās fundamentals remain strong:
š§āš A steady pipeline of talent from Big Ten universities
šļø A prime location as the economic hub of the Midwest
š¢ A beautiful, architecturally rich office market that will always have demand
āChicago is always going to be the center of the Midwest, the hub of the Midwest,ā Brog said. āI don't think that's ever going to change.ā
Final Thoughts: Is This the Bottom for Chicagoās Office Market?
If recent deals are any indicator, some investors believe weāve hit rock bottomāand theyāre making moves before prices climb again. The cityās office sector isnāt out of the woods yet, but for those with cash and a long-term vision, Chicago might just be the ultimate contrarian bet.
So, what do you think? Are investors making the right move by jumping in now, or is it still too soon to call a real recovery?
