Real Estate Investing: Why I Refuse To Fund Your Deal

In this live presentation, Toby Potter, CEO of Global Integrity Finance (formerly Global Trading Finance), outlines the company’s mission, market outlook, and strict underwriting philosophy. He explains how rising interest rates have disrupted many hard‑money lenders, positioning his firm as a liquid, aggressive lender still willing to fund deals. Potter emphasizes a core rule: the firm will only fund loans that can guarantee successful completion and profitability, requiring borrowers to answer detailed “why” questions about the property, contractor, and financing. He details why rural properties are generally avoided, citing demographic thresholds (population under 20,000, lack of city utilities) and resale risk. Conversely, he highlights abundant opportunities in Class C and low‑B apartments, hotel conversions, and other multifamily assets, noting that higher rates are driving down valuations and prompting banks to offload non‑performing notes. Potter also describes operational expectations for borrowers—timely payments, rehab draws, and scope adherence—and explains that the firm funds loans and then sells them to Wall Street within 30 days, avoiding long‑term loan holding. The talk includes informal moments, such as a birthday celebration for Potter, showcasing the company’s culture and community engagement.
