@Deidrea Hammond Just FYI .Nearby Twain Hart Golf course has a mortgage out years ago with US Bank. Also, have you tried the Filter feature when you go into the ConneX marketplace in the Fundview platform? There are many different criteria you can search from. I logged in to my account and I searched "special purpose" and these three lenders appeared. They also all do California. A golf course might likely qualify for SBA as well. One of the lenders is Skylar McClure from Celtic Bank that specialized in SBA and I have closed multiple deals with him in the past. I would be glad to make a personal introduction if you want to present the deal. I added a couple of screenshots for the filtering.

@Deidrea Hammond I hope you don't mind. I took the liberty of reaching out to my title guy to request a farm report for golf courses in CA. He was kind enough to email me a list as an excel file. If you give me your email, I can forward to you. A decent list of commercial banks to add to you call list. As I expected, many Asian-American community banks represented. If you want any additional suggestions on how to package to these lenders, I'd be glad to also assist.

Great question, Shonika — and no "randos"😆 Yes, those lenders are registered on the Fundview platform specifically. We built a dedicated platform for them called Fundview Capworks, and we're continuing to add tools to help CRE lenders manage and increase their own deal flow. The Connex Marketplace (soon to be rebranded as Connex Deal Room — a more fitting name) is what connects both sides — brokers and lenders, because closing a deal takes two things: having the deal, and finding the right lender for it. Our goal has always been to give brokers the tools to manage deals and clients through the process. Now we're building out the other half of a successful deal — helping you find the right lender. The Marketplace (Deal Room) works both ways. Lenders can find deals that fit their box, and you can find the lender that fits your deal. That's exactly why we require lenders to enter at least one loan program to be on the platform — it makes them visible to you as a broker. It's not one-sided. Both sides have visibility, and both sides can see each other. So instead of blasting emails and LinkedIn posts about their programs, they can actively look for deals that fit their credit box — an active role rather than a passive one. Now, the important part: lenders cannot see your deal details — and most importantly, they cannot see who your clients are. All they see is: - Loan amount - General location - LTV - Property type That's it. They don't know who you are. They don't know your name yet or your company or your client information. Neither of you has any contact information on each other until you mutually agree to have the connection. That's also why you have to approve the connection first: you control what they see. And once you make that connection, it's yours. You can communicate with them freely and send them deals down the road. And honestly — what's better than not only being able to search for lenders' specific loan criteria with our filter system, but also having a lender reach out to you saying, "Hey, I'm interested about that deal, can we discuss more details"?

Thanks Greg — totally get the instinct to keep things private. Nobody wants a flood of outreach from people who haven't looked at the deal. But here's what we hear from the lender side: most CRE lenders get hundreds of deal requests a month, and only a fraction ever make it to a term sheet. Their bigger complaint isn't too much contact — it's getting deals that don't make sense for their programs. They don't want to waste time reaching out on something that was never a fit either. That's exactly why we built the ConneX deal room. And lenders can't just register a name to be on the platform — they have to enter at least one loan program. So when you find them, you already know more than who they are. You know exactly what they're looking for and what their appetite is as of today. From there, the Fundview platform does the analytics for you. It compares their programs against live deals and scores the strength of the match. So when you reach out, there's a reason behind it. And it works both directions. Lenders see that same match score from their programs against your deal. If they contact you, it's because there's already affinity there — not because they're fishing. One thing worth clarifying: "public" doesn't mean blasted all over the internet. It means registered lenders on our platform can filter for best-fit loans — and you can do the same on your end. It also doesn't reveal your client or your firm. Lenders see only a minimum amount of deal information — just enough to know whether there's real fit with their loan program. Enough to know if they're someone you should call, or if you're someone they should hear from. Nothing more. From there, only your connections reveal contact info to each other. Your client's information and documentation stay private until you release them. Hope that helps. Happy to walk through this feature personally if you'd like. Just let me know

I've known @Malcolm Turner for several years, and what he's building with Mortgage Broker Mastery is something our industry has needed for a long time. Both Malcolm and I have both been in this business for a while (17+ years), and I've enjoyed spending time with him comparing notes — what's working, what's shifting, and how new technology can open doors for people trying to break into commercial lending. Here's what sets him apart from others.... In CRE finance, there's an old instinct to guard your playbook — to treat your knowledge like a secret that only gives you an edge if you keep it to yourself. Malcolm rejects that completely. He's built a formal program to bring people into this industry and help them actually thrive in it, and that takes a level of generosity and confidence most brokers simply don't have. I respect it because our objectives are aligned. I've spent my career — and built my own company — trying to remove friction for CRE brokers and lenders and put better tools in their hands. Malcolm is developing the talent that makes the whole ecosystem stronger. A larger, sharper, better-trained pool of brokers is good for everyone, borrowers included. There is plenty of opportunities for everyone to eat! With the right training and tools, the better the feast! If you're considering Mortgage Broker Mastery, know that the person leading it isn't teaching "theory". He's a working pro who genuinely wants to grow this industry, and he's putting in the real time to do it. I'm proud to recommend it as well.

Hi Shonika, sorry for the late reply as I am currently out of the country. I was informed from my team that they were able to set you up with the new company account that you requested. Have you experienced any issues with your new account? If so, feel free to send me some screen shots of any errors you are experiencing and I will help troubleshoot.
