Our Core Focus

Rental, Fix & Flip, Construction & Transactional Funding

Most of our work is helping investors buy, build, renovate, and hold income property—and close when the deal calls for short-term capital. Whether you call it hard money or private money, we arrange it through our lender network; we are a broker, not the lender.

How It Works

A Clear Process. Honest Answers Early.

We screen for deal-breakers before a lender ever sees your file. If something needs to be addressed, you hear it from us first.

  1. Share the Scenario

    Tell us about the property, the plan, and the capital you need through our secure intake form.

  2. Straight-Talk Review

    We pressure-test the numbers and flag issues—credit, leverage, property type, existing debt—up front.

  3. Lender Match

    We take your deal to the lenders whose programs genuinely fit it, and walk you through the options.

  4. Through to Closing

    We stay engaged through underwriting, appraisal, and title. Our fee is earned only when your loan closes.

Why Cornerstone

Integrity Is the Foundation Everything Else Is Built On

Real estate investors don’t need more hype. They need someone who understands the deal, tells the truth about it, and knows which lenders will actually close it.

  • No upfront broker fees on brokered loans. We are paid only at closing.
  • Deal problems surfaced early—before a lender finds them.
  • Numbers pressure-tested, never repeated at face value.
  • Lender structure explained, including balance-sheet versus secondary-market lenders and what that can mean for repricing risk.
  • Twenty years in Twin Cities real estate, serving investors nationwide.
“Surfacing an issue before a lender finds it isn’t a weakness. It’s how trust is built—and how deals actually close.”— Rebecca, Founder
