I began investing in real estate about a year ago and was introduced to Dan for my mortgage. Dan not only helped me get a great mortgage and my 1st rental property, he helped me plan out my retirement goals, re-configure my personal mortgage to enable future investments and opened my eyes to private lending. Dan Heon is a mortgage broker who, despite how busy, takes that time to clearly explain and guide you in your investment journey. His experience & knowledge in the investment world is freely shared. Yes he is a mortgage broker; but he also encourages & inspires his clients to move forward in their investment journey.
