About
1128 Capital

1128 Capital is led by a management team whose experience in the private mortgage market far predates the influx of capital from Wall Street.  Our close ties to our capital base have enabled us to be a reliable capital provider to local private lenders across the country.

Recognizing that real estate is by nature a very local business, our strategy is to establish long standing partnerships with local lenders who have strong knowledge of their core markets.  Our core values are to respect and protect our ultimate capital providers while providing certainty in funding and maintaining transparency in underwriting to our lending partners.
