I am so humbled, proud, and honored to announce that our company has been recognized with the 2022 leadership award by the National Private Lenders Association.

Leadership is a quality that we as a company chase and are intentional about. We study leadership and it's principles, traits and characteristics, and we aspire every day to uphold them. It can be difficult to receive an award like this, in a room full of more than deserving industry leaders and pioneers, the NPLA has honored us with this amazing recognition.

But since we do study leadership immensely, we know that part of being a great leader is being a great follower. A great number two. A great Mentee. Knowing how and when to take a back seat and lead from the back. Listen and learn. Serve and empower others. Staying true to your role and playing it to the best of your ability for the sake of the team and the mission.

Leonard, I can't thank you enough for your guidance, mentorship, and most of all genuine friendship. It is an honor to receive this award, and we will continue to serve and lead in any way you and the association deems necessary. Our company is a product of your mentorship and the Pitbull and NPLA Ohana. We understand the importance of our role, and we will play it well. We are honored to be a part of your legacy. We will make you all proud, and we won't let you down. Mahalo nui loa 🙏

We can't express enough how honored and proud we are to be Founding Members of The National Private Lenders Association. The has helped our company navigate the uncharted waters of 2020. It has allowed us the opportunity to close deals with many of our fellow members who all abide by the same code of ethics and best practices. We are blessed with a seat at the table, and a voice in the discussion.

Whether you are a private lender, fix & flip investor, developer, or real estate service provider... The NPLA is fighting behind the scenes to help protect you and your business from the threat of over regulation. The potential consequences, and costs, of not pursuing self-regulation of the private lending industry could lead to a large ripple effect that could flow down to the borrowers... Which in-turn, could result in substantially less capital in the marketplace, lower leverages, and higher costs to the borrower. Therefore, resulting in less deals being funded, less distressed properties being repaired, less supply in the market, less distressed homeowners being helped, less jobs and business for contractors and real estate service providers.

As a large borrower of private capital ourselves, it has been very inspiring to witness how much the NPLA has invested in both time and resources to protect our space. With its most recent victory in New York ( see video: https://vimeo.com/495544419 ), the NPLA has proven its worth and will continue to gain strength moving forward.

This association (led by some of the most intelligent and seasoned professionals I've ever had the privilege of working with) is something very special to me... And as the Vice-Chair of the Membership committee, it is my duty to encourage all of our colleagues to reach out and apply for consideration of entry, and join us as we grow, strengthen, and protect our industry.

Tomorrow we will be live on zoom with our friends and leaders of the New Wealth Advisors Club! Quick story... In 2011 I walked into the main office and headquarters of NWAC not knowing anything about real estate. I would sit in the back of the room too shy to ask the burning questions I had inside so I would take notes and write down any and all words I didn't recognize or understand and rush home to Google them and try to piece everything together (the introvert's price of admission 😆🤦‍♂️). Years later I found my notebook and to my surprise, one of the words I didnt know at the time was MORTGAGE (swipe). I didn't even know what a mortgage was, which is surreal today because I now co-own and operate KÉCŌ CAPITAL, a lending company, where we do a lot of loans all secured with mortgages some of which are 100 pages long full of legalese that we have to understand. I'm also a borrower myself, along with my partner Kekōa, and have millions of dollars of mortgages in our names. I was blessed to stumble into the right room with the right people at NWAC all of whom I consider a part of our Ohana now, and I can't wait to have our open discussion live on zoom tomorrow! Please join us (SWIPE) for the zoom number and password. Mahalo Melina, David, Andrew Oscar, Joel and Mary Ann! See you guys on the call!

To the only Alaskan I know who cannot stand the cold 😆 You're relentless pursuit of personal and professional growth is infectious, and inspires all of us around you to keep up. From the many adventures solving problems side by side, to the multiple all-nighters building and serving others together, I can't wait to see what this next year brings! Happy Birthday braddah Alexander J Young !

It seems like yesterday we were cutting deals and building partnerships face to face. Today we gather together virtually. As they say... The show must go on. The market does not wait. It shows no mercy, but industry leaders charge forward. Mahalo Leonard Rosen and the NPLA for not just moving with the market but leading the charge. Our team is looking forward to seeing everyone again in October for our 2nd Annual NPLA Membership Meeting!
