ABOUT YOUR SPEAKER
In 2006 Tom and his wife decided to move their family and business from their small rural community in Ohio to the much larger market of Houston, TX. While this seemed like a fantastic opportunity, no one foresaw the financial crisis that crushed their business the following year. After losing everything they had worked for and saved, Tom decided to start a different type of business as a real estate professional. Starting with nothing, he acquired over 400 rental units in the next four years and has since bought and sold hundreds of houses and commercial properties.
In 2014 he partnered with Donald Sutton to Co-Found Investor Loan Source (ILS), and since that time, ILS has closed over 1,700 loans for just over $350,000,000 in loan volume. In 2018, Donald and Tom launched The ILS Funds to grow their loan volume and allow other passive investors to pool their money and take part in the private lending systems and the team they built. To date, the ILS funds have raised over $90,000,000 in investor capital and have produced solid returns throughout.
