Let me set the stage by saying that… Let me set the stage by saying that this is my first (and likely my last) use of a "hard-money" lender. As a veteran of at least 15 mortgages in my life, I have been through a range of lenders from, what I deemed good as well as not-so-good. The experience I had with Visio continues to be problematic. BSI Financial is the organization who is "managing" the loan. I sent them an invoice for $30 to catch up on a quarterly HOA charge and they paid with a check for more than $2,000. The fact that they are escrowing the HOA in the first place is unheard of but, then things like this occur. I will waive other opportunities like this to avoid another round.

Tracey Gordon is my account executive… Tracey Gordon is my account executive and I must say that I have never met anyone that works harder to get loans closed then him. He is thoughtful,creative and always willing to take my calls. He is extremely knowledgeable about Visio products and procedures which helps me and my team navigate our business smoother and more efficient.

Advertised for Bridge Loan for short… Advertised for Bridge Loan for short term financing and when I called " said when don't have it and we don't offer".

Visio Visio - run, don't walk from them. Their rates are amongst the highest, they talk a good game when they want your sale and after you are locked into their process, welcome to hell on earth! Absolute lack of professionalism and communication skills, finger pointing at every stage! Different departments make it sound like the problem is elsewhere both within and outside the company. What was originally supposed to be a 30 day loan got extended to 45 days and now I'll be lucky if we close in 60+ days! Last time I consider Visio was the first and only time!

Don't trust them. Would not recommend. Spent almost 3 months trying to get them to put a deal together and they came back with an appraisal that was 75% of the value of what my property was appraised at just 3 months ago (prior to renovations). These guys are used car salesmen hacks. Don't buy the "easy to close" BS, this will take longer and waste more of your time than your local bank. Also, their terms are worse than most banks. They have pre-payment penalties, which most banks I work with do not.
