About Us

WE Direct Lending is a private money Real Estate lender that caters to both borrowers and investors.

On the borrowing side, WE Direct Lending prides itself in making asset-based loans that make great business sense but may require out-of-the-box thinking. If the deal makes sense, then we will happily assist you in making your plan work. We are happy to cater to the needs of individual investors, charitable entities, irrevocable trusts, business entities, and other private institutions that seek financial assistance. We are based in California and actively pursue loans therein but also are happy to look at lending opportunities and projects in most other states.

On the investment side, we provide both low, intermediate, and higher risk lending opportunities to fit the risk tolerance of the most conservative and aggressive investors through innovative direct lending options. Further, in conjunction with legal counsel, we can assist in tax strategies involving your investment in a note to maximize IRA investments, Roth conversions, etc., but this is only available in conjunction with proper legal counsel.

In summary, we are here to help and are happy to hear about your borrowing and investment needs and to craft a solution that works for your unique needs.
