Max Sivohins, USCGA ‘13
I've never had a lender provide me capital within five days of a loan submission. It was a lot on trust. Being an Academy grad, that played a role for sure. The team clearly knew what they were doing and they reviewed everything very quickly…I've been doing real estate for the last eight years and I've worked with many lenders. I've never had anybody trust me so much right out of the gate.
Chris Tyll, USNA ‘01
A unique transaction presented itself, where time was of the essence so I reached out to the Academy Fund. I view this as probably one of my most successful deals up to this point…we were in and out of the Academy Fund in about 90 days…There are a lot of cliches in business, and a lot of catchphrases, but ‘time is money’ is one that is always at the forefront in my mind. In this case, the main thing the Academy Fund delivered for me was the time component. Being able to close the transaction and transition quickly is really what set us up for the future successes that we're going to have.
Wil Ingram USNA ‘11
We're interested in scaling our business and that's where the Academy Fund has really helped out. The Fund is extremely professional and once you get set up, the Fund can close quickly, too. We've closed some of these deals in a week to a week and a half…The Academy Fund is another great tool we have to help us to reach our goal.
Brett Hadley, USAFA ‘05
The Academy Fund allowed us to execute at a level we wouldn't have been able to if we used commercial lending.
Jim Young, USMA ‘94
In our company, we use traditional banks a lot…in the case of this deal, we had an opportunity where the seller of one of the parcels said if we could close early, there would be a significant price reduction...because he wanted to close very quickly. Our other lending sources, they just couldn't do it. The Academy Fund could, which added seven figures to our bottom line.
