WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“Good loans for fix and flip opportunities. Also good educational and training programs.”
“It is an excellent place on how to learn and grow fast in your real estate business. I highly recommend CogoCapital for you!”
“I had a wonderful experience working with Cogo Capital. My loan officer Bill Koder was amazing to deal with. He was always very prompt with communications and the whole deal went extremely smooth from start to finish. I deal with a lot of lenders and this was one of the best transactions I’ve ever completed so I had to write them a great review. Everything was simple and they delivered on what they promised. I’ve already referred to several other investors and Cogo is my new go to lender for all deals.”
“Without COGO, I would not be where I’m at today financially, and I’m glad that they gave me a shot on my first fix and flip. The 1 star reviews are just from the haters. If you’re new to real estate, and need a chance for funding, COGO is the way to go.”
“When banks say no call Cogo. They really helped me out. Everybody I worked with was top notch!”
“It was great working with Cogo again. This is my 6th loan and I am glad to have Cogo helping me grow my business.”
“You got us started and helped us finish with being the recipient of the very first 30 Year Loan with COGO! Jaclyn Olsen was burning some midnight oil to help us too. We are greatly honored! And there’s a back story. The property that secures that loan, is the very first house – a HUD repo fixer upper – I bought as a joint venture in 2003 with what I learned from Lee’s “Fortune in Foreclosure” material. I made my JV partner a $Million Buck$. Now…rinse and repeat!!!”
Robert, Tanya and Doug were maika’i (excellent in Hawaiian) in facilitating the entire loan process. They are very detail-oriented so I knew exactly what was needed. Their consistent and persistent follow-up emails and phone calls got everyone involved moving forward toward getting my project funded. Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much) for your kokua (help) and kala (money). ALOHA!
Cogo Capital goes beyond the extra mile to make getting funding for your project a reality. I would work with Robert and Tanya any day. They are the best loan originator and processor I have worked with.
From the time we were introduced to everyone on the team – from The Lee Arnold System of Real Estate Investing to the loan officers at Cogo Capital, the phone is always answered, we receive global customer service, and that service is supreme.

Whether it’s for wholesale, rehab, or buy and hold for long-term cash investment deals, Cogo Capital delivers fast and easy access to Private Hard Money.
We’re an equity-based lender which means we care more about the property’s merits, and don’t focus on poor credit, or some of the other factors conventional lenders use to rate the risk.
WHY COGO CAPITAL IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR HARD MONEY LOANS?
We quickly analyze your deal to make sure it fits within our parameters and get you on your way. We don’t want you to do anything that would jeopardize your deals when you are flipping houses for profit. It’s your numbers and exit strategies that must make sense in order for us to provide financing.
We offer a full service Private Hard Money platform that will help you through your entire deal from application to closing. You don’t have to make any awkward phone calls to strangers for funds or worry about drafting documents, the HUD 1 statement, or pulling title.

We look forward to funding your real estate success!

Think Inside the Box: Profit-Maximizing Loan Criteria
We are often encouraged to think outside the box. Innovative thinking can often bring long-term returns but, in real estate, at certain times in the market cycle, there is a place that brings consistent and timely returns. You can think of it as the “box.”
