I am thrilled to write to you on this special occasion as Investor Loan Source celebrates its 10-year anniversary. It is with immense gratitude that I extend my heartfelt thanks for your steadfast partnership over the past decade of hard money lending.
When we embarked on this journey, it was just Donald and me, working tirelessly from our respective houses. Little did we know that our commitment to creating notes to keep capital invested would lead to the growth of a company that now spans four locations with over 50 dedicated employees.
Our humble beginnings were not about building a large corporation; rather, it was a response to a need – a need to weather the storm until real estate prices moderated again. What started as a vision to tide over a couple of years has evolved into Investor Loan Source, a trusted lending partner operating in 24 states.
Crucially, our path to success hasn’t followed the traditional route of securing bank lines of credit. Instead, we’ve chosen to raise all our capital through non-institutional sources, maintaining our autonomy to innovate and create lending products that truly serve your needs.
As we reflect on our journey, I am excited to share that 2024 marks a significant pivot year for us. We are set to launch even more investor loan products and expand our lending footprint to additional states. Our goal remains clear – to be the number one lending source for real estate investors like yourself.
In line with our growth, the need for a dedicated capital-raising arm led to the establishment of our sister company, ILS Capital. This strategic move ensures that we can keep pace with our expanding operations and continue to provide you with the best possible service.
I am also pleased to announce that our note funds surpassed $100 million in assets in 2023 and continues to climb. These funds consistently deliver stellar and stable returns, offering you a valuable opportunity to diversify beyond Wall Street and invest in Main Street real estate projects.
To further support your investment journey, I encourage both passive and active investors to explore building wealth through real estate with us. For passive investors, visit www.ilscapitalfunds.com, and for active investors visit www.ils.cash.
Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Your trust and confidence have been instrumental in our success. We are committed to staying at the forefront of the industry, and 2024 promises to be a year of even greater accomplishments.
Here’s to the next decade of growth and success!
Warm regards,
Tom Berry
CEO, Investor Loan Source
