Meet Steve Abo – Real Estate Financing & Private Lending Expert

When people ask what I do, I give them the honest answer:
I make rich people richer.

I’m Steve Abo, and my entire career revolves around
funding real estate deals—fast, creatively, and efficiently.
My personal loan production consistently outperforms the annual volume of entire mortgage companies,
and people often ask how that’s even possible.

Mastery Built Over 35 Years

It all starts with my approach.
I grew up in Los Angeles as the son of a prominent New York–born radiologist who taught me to master my craft
inside and out. Over the last 35 years, I’ve made it my mission to understand every angle of
real estate investment—evaluating properties, analyzing cash flow, dissecting complex tax returns,
structuring value-add strategies, and recognizing market cycles long before the average lender or investor sees them.

On the capital markets side, I’ve always been driven by a fascination with money flow and investor behavior.
I’ve attended every type of industry gathering imaginable—from open-door mortgage conferences to exclusive,
invitation-only events attended by some of the wealthiest individuals on the planet.

Relationships That Build Wealth

The foundation of everything I’ve built is relationships.

My clients and borrowers prosper once they get to know me. My capital partners are genuinely excited when I call
because they know I bring strong deals, strong borrowers, and consistent performance.
That trust is the result of decades of integrity and reliability.

Proven Track Record of Success

I built a mortgage bank, Credit America, that grew to nearly 100 employees.
In 2005, recognizing a peak in the market, I sold it for a substantial profit—just a few years before many
competitors were forced into bankruptcy. Letting go of the bank reminded me what I truly loved:
helping people, much like my father did in medicine, but through the financial side of real estate.

When you bring me a deal or ask for advice, you can expect one thing:
a direct, thorough, and realistic evaluation.

And more importantly—
I will not allow anything or anyone to get in the way of funding your loan, investment, or business opportunity.

A Global Perspective With Local Roots

I’ve traveled to every continent except Antarctica, surfed in Fiji and Hawaii, skied the Rockies,
and gained a global perspective that shapes how I understand people and markets.
I’m a proud father of a daughter entering the medical profession, and I reside in Bel Air, Los Angeles.

Wherever I am in the world, I am always reachable. Tell me your situation, your deal, or your challenge—
and I’ll tap into my experience and my network to help you prosper.
