I've worked with several lenders over the years, and Arcstone Financial has truly raised the bar…read more Their team understands the complexities of real estate investing especially when it comes to structuring deals under LLC and executing long-term strategies like 1031 exchanges. A special thanks to Eli Khoury, who went above and beyond in every way. Eli brought deep expertise, clear communication, and a hands-on approach that made a major difference. His sight on entity structure, loan products, and timing was invaluable. If you're growing a rental portfolio and want a financing team that truly understands investor needs, I highly recommend Arcstone Financial and Eli Khoury in particular. They've earned my trust as more than just a lender---they're a key part of my investment strategy. I will definitely do business with them again. Thank you!!!

I like to-the-point conversations with no frills. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, the weather is nice, it's LA, of course it's nice! Moving on!" I explained how I liked to work to Leo and BAM, he accommodated. Just honest conversations and his candor made me know I was being taken care of every step of the way, no matter how many questions I asked. Also, if you want my two cents, ask Leo what you need to do to make the home buying process as smooth as possible. As long as you follow his advice to a T, you'll have an amazing experience! We closed early and I was able to get into my dream house with ease. (Can't say stressfree because nothing about being a house is stressfree - Leo just added a bit of delight and comfort to the whole process.)

We started at the end of January and closed by early March. It was that seamless, that quick. What really stood out was his confidence and how proactive he was with everyone involved. There was a moment when the selling agent reached out directly because my agent wasn't available, and Chris told them we could close within 10 days. And we did. He makes a promise and he delivers. He had my best interest in mind the whole time, and I would absolutely call him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a great mortgage broker.
