LOS ANGELES—Although Realty Mogul‘s platform has typically catered to high net worth individuals, its new partnership with institutional investor Direct Lending Investments will now promise certainty of capital for its debt borrowers, according to Jilliene Helman, the company’s founder and CEO. In an earlier story, GlobeSt.com reported that the institutional investor has committed $73 million to the crowdfunding platform to fund residential rehab loans.

“We are continuing to grow rapidly as a company. We’re still very devoted to our high net worth individual base—it is still a very important part of our business and our trajectory,” Helman tells GlobeSt.com. “However, it is fantastic that we now have capital for our real estate borrowers on the debt side and that we have certainty of capital. One of the really important things when you are making a loan is that you can actually fund that loan and that you can close that loan. We have been able to get that certainty of capital through this institutional relationship.”
