Get to Know Finresi - Revolutionizing Real Estate Investment

From Institutional Real Estate to Empowering Investors

Finresi's journey began with Jeff Gopshtein, a Philadelphia native who spent years working in institutional multi-family development and managing apartment operations for family offices. With extensive experience, Jeff saw an untapped opportunity: why weren’t more Limited Partners (LPs), who were knowledgeable about real estate, doing deals themselves? This observation inspired him to create Finresi, a platform designed to enable non-institutional investors to access and manage real estate transactions.

Initially, Finresi focused on guiding investors through real estate deals, offering them the tools to act like professionals. However, the economic uncertainties triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with rising interest rates, shifted the market. Jeff and his team realized that the traditional approach wasn’t working anymore, and the platform needed to adapt.

A Strategic Pivot to Alternative Lending

Recognizing the growing prevalence of alternative lenders- who specialize in providing asset-backed loans, especially after the 2008 financial crisis - Finresi pivoted. These private lenders were different from banks; instead of relying solely on creditworthiness, they secured loans against real estate assets. This opened new opportunities for borrowers and investors alike.

Alternative lending focused on real estate as a safe asset class, where short-term bridge loans (typically 1-3 years) helped finance projects like renovations or property flips. Finresi saw the potential here and turned its attention to connecting lenders with accredited investors who sought the high yields associated with real estate-backed loans.

Addressing Liquidity Challenges

In the residential mortgage business, liquidity became a pressing issue. Jeff observed that private lenders, while providing essential capital, often faced a shortage of buyers willing to take on loans. Finresi addressed this by creating a marketplace where these lenders could find liquidity, giving investors access to a previously restricted investment class.

Thus, Finresi was born - a platform engineered to help investors participate in real estate-backed loans with the simplicity and security they sought. Finresi stands at the intersection of real estate and alternative lending, offering accredited investors a seamless way to access consistent monthly returns without the complexities of property management.

How Finresi Works

Finresi partners with high-volume lenders, granting access to over $500M+ of loan applications. Through stringent underwriting and first-lien collateral agreements, the platform provides high-quality, secure deals. Investors benefit from monthly income and the added protection that comes with Finresi’s risk mitigation strategies. For instance, Finresi's loans maintain less than a 4% foreclosure rate, with borrowers incentivized to ensure their projects succeed.

Leading the Future of Real Estate Investment

Behind Finresi is a visionary team. Jeff Gopshtein, as CEO, brings his deep experience in real estate to drive Finresi forward. He’s joined by Kirk Ayzenberg, who co-founded the company with a mission to simplify real estate investments for everyday investors. Kirk, currently the CEO of Nextres, an alternative private lender doing over $200 million in loans nationally, has been instrumental in developing mortgage lending software that underpins Finresi’s innovative platform. The most recent addition to leadership is Christian Leon, Head of Investor Relations, who brings his extensive finance background from firms like J.P. Morgan and AllianceBernstein to connect investors with Finresi’s offerings. Christian brings extensive experience, having run some of the largest venture capital and real estate syndication platforms.

Today, Finresi is not just a platform; it’s a movement aimed at giving everyday investors access to the same opportunities that once belonged exclusively to banks and institutions. With $10-15 million loaned monthly and projections for continued growth, Finresi is transforming the real estate landscape.
