About Duke Allen & Co

Who We Are?

At Duke Allen & Company our concern goes far beyond closing any and all deals. We prioritize the strength of a hard-asset being assessed as sufficiently lucrative for our investors. This practice enables us to focus on sustaining long-term partnerships and thus, long-term and higher return in reward for our investors. 

Our focus is on providing capital as a vehicle for flourishment in situations where banks and other institutions fail and have difficulty in financing due the factors of time, complexity and individual criteria. We are interested in both whom we lend to and how the projects we fund will benefit our city and region.

We specialize in providing short-term hard money or Buy and Hold long-term loans to real-estate investors throughout the US. 

Whether you are financing a purchase or need cash out of an existing property, we can help. Our loans are asset-based. There is no requirement for verification of funds or employment information needed; we also don’t ask for tax returns when you work with us. Duke Allen & Company’s streamlined process from application to closing gives us the capability to move quickly in customizing a loan that fits your needs.

We are committed to delivering speed and maintaining trust and transparency with every client. We uphold this commitment through our 

● Speed in processing your hard money loan application and funding your transaction.

Our Motivation
Duke Allen & Co. strives to offer funding for projects in a manner that benefits our borrowers, investors and ultimately our community.

Our Steps of Service
In any circumstance, Duke Allen & Co. is focused on serving you and your needs. We believe in keeping things simple. We uphold this belief in breaking down our deal-funding process into three easy steps:

1. Full Application Submission
The fastest way to get approved is submitting your application. Once your application has been submitted and is reviewed, we will contact you. We've built a very efficient system that leverages technology and avoids unnecessary paperwork.

2. Deal Analysis
Following application submission, we will personally analyze your deal and incorporate the following components in our analysis:

  • Investor Contribution Capital Amount

  • Interest Rate & Terms

  • Points/ Fees

3. Boring Closing
We actively strive for the closing to bore our investors. Our unique hard work behind the scenes detracts surprises at closing; we hate surprises at closings and understand that investors do too. This upholding of our boring closing includes being upfront and transparent about all expenses throughout the process.
