Frank helped us with a complicated deal. We took money out of a fully-paid investment property, so that we could use the proceeds to do a home improvement project in our primary residence. In addition, he suggested we refinance the primary property (no cash out) in order to take advantage of a lower interest rate which saved us money. All of this happened timely. Frank is knowledgeable and responsive. He listened to what we wanted to do and provided us with information and suggestions, which ultimately saved us money.
