Steve,

We are a 30Bil asset institution and our hold is $50mil on our own. We bring in eager partners on larger deals. I would love to know how someone who used to write $2Mil checks can now write $1Bil. Hell, some of the largest money center banks and private funds are NOT stoking $1Bil checks on there own.

Kevin:

The $ billion isn't with this direct lender. It is with private money I have cultivated since I left the company in February.
