Atwater Finance & Capital 

Atwater Finance Capital

Provided a LOI (term sheet) and requested $2200 for Origination Fee Philadelphia

Henry John linkedin.com/in/henry-john-49372b16b contacted me April 12, 2019 and wrote:

Hello, Thanks for connecting with me. I'm Henry John, Finance Manager with Atwater Finance Capital. We specialize in Real Estate Financing Services, business start up funding , Commercial Bridge/Hard Money Stock Loans, Equity, Construction Real Estate acquisitions and lot more. Let me know if you need any of our services  Best regards Henry John Atwater Finance Capital loanrequest@atwaterfinancecapital.com

I asked for his phone #, which he didn't respond.

I sent him an email and it bounced.  Then he said:  You can email it here info@atwaterfc.com

So I sent him a brief description of my client's $19M loan request (bridge loan on land) and then he came back with:

Hello  We finance in the US and internationally,I have reviewed the below  request and we are keen to proceed, i can work with an interest rate of  5% for this deal. however there are some missing detailed information  that we would require to help us in our assessment of the request which  are listed below   Borrower full name and address   Please provide us with the above so i can prepare a detailed proposal  suitable for the request for your review. How fast does your client need  the loan?   Regards Henry John

So I knew something was funny, because he offered 5% (which is totally out of line) and did so without asking any substantive questions about the subject property.

Then I get an LOI with this name at the bottom:

GAIL GODFREY THOMAS, 

CEO/PRESIDENT. 

ATWATER FINANCE CAPITAL 

So I looked up this person and there's a lot of inconsistencies:

You should see headshots of 2 different guys and all the names are mixed up.    

I called the phone # on the term sheet and one can tell that the voice with a distinct accent does not match the photo of the guy in this LinkedIn profile: linkedin.com/in/henry-john-49372b16b.
