She dives deep into the type of loans they offer, why they don't charge appraisal fees, what a typical bridge loan looks like, and their most common borrowers. Kayla also shares their strategy when it comes to bread and butter houses, which experienced a huge decrease in February.

I'm excited to get to the interview with our guest, Kayla Wojcik, who's the Founder and Director of Sales and Operations at FlipCo Financial, which opened their doors and started lending in November 2020. FlipCo is a team of forward-thinking individuals in the single-family real estate investing sector focused on bringing a better financing product to the Houston market and nationally. What makes FlipCo private lender a little different is they were funded and started with one person's capital who wanted to put it to work or a handful of it. It was a private capital that was put to work just like me. The Angel investor that started it had a lot more money to get started with first and was smart enough to hire Kayla to run the business for him. Let's get down to the brass tacks of the show and listen to the interview with Kayla Wojcik as she discusses her lending criteria.
