Cornerstone Lending Alliance

“Live like no one else today, so that you can live like no one else tomorrow” - Dave Ramsey

We began our path in real estate back in 1992 lacking the knowledge, tools, and guidance. What we did have was determination, patience, and perseverance. We literally purchased our first investment property in complete ignorance. We had no understanding of the basic concepts of assessing property values, property financial conditions, or contractual obligations.  We simply thought it would be a cool idea to become “landlords”. Through several years of painstaking work and hard knocks we managed to gain sufficient experienced knowledge to understand the deficiencies of our situation and thus began our road to success.

We now have a thriving real estate business with rental property in Texas and California. We have also learned the art of private lending, and are heavily vested in improving our community. We do this by providing quick and timely funds to house flippers and rental property owners thus giving them the ability to purchase and rehab blighted properties in and around the Houston Metro area.

We give special thanks to all those individuals, businesses, and organizations who have taken the time to share their knowledge, that have helped us grow, and that have stood with us in our path to success. God bless and may you all be richly blessed!

What Our Clients Say

Cornerstone Lending Alliance has given us new hope for financial security.  We had money sitting in our account and making money for the bank while we were getting paid pennies.  We invested with Cornerstone Lending Alliance and in one month we made more money than we would have made in five years with the bank!  Cornerstone Lending Alliance made it easy to invest and the process has been smooth. Thank you Cornerstone for helping us gain more for our financial future.

I’ve been working in the real estate industry for over two years now,  I run across many Private Money Lenders; however, when I need to close a transaction fast, I go to Cornerstone Lending Alliance.  Lending terms are clear, reasonable and easy to understand.  No other lender is as responsive and dedicated to providing creative solutions as Cornerstone Lending Alliance.  I can always count on having my questions answered and the deal funded in a professional and timely manner.  Thank you for being a leaning post for The Wavie Group LLC. - Houston, Texas

I have enjoyed partnering with Cornerstone Lending Alliance over the last year and a half.  They are conscientious and have a fine attention to detail.  I know I can trust Cornerstone Lending Alliance with my portfolio.  They bring extensive construction and rehab experience to the table.  Cornerstone Lending Alliance presents a thorough examination of the property to consider along with their assessment.  They are a pleasure to work with and my wife and I’s retirement prospects are growing because of their efforts!
