Strategic Partnership with Private Lending of America (PLA)
We are excited to announce our recent partnership with Private Lending of America (PLA), leveraging their proprietary private lending program that was developed in 2015. This innovative program addresses a critical gap in the lending market, targeting qualified borrowers who may not meet the stringent requirements of institutional lenders for homestead mortgages. The program focuses on the borrower’s debt-to-income ratio and ability to repay, eliminating FICO credit scores as a determining factor. This model ensures compliance with state and federal regulations, while securing investor equity through a full documentation underwriting process.
Expanding Market Reach: Texas and Beyond
Currently, the program is operational in select Texas markets and is on track for statewide expansion by Q4 2024. We anticipate further growth, with nationwide availability projected by 2026. In the immediate future, we are focusing on strategic markets in Central and South Texas, with new markets opening across Texas beginning in Q1 2024. Since its inception, PLA’s program has grown significantly, initially generating $24 million in notes annually, and has expanded nearly fivefold in volume. This impressive growth demonstrates the program’s success and scalability.
