Fairway currently manages an investment pool in excess of $160 million comprised of performing loans, non performing loans and owned assets.

However, our staff of underwriters are experienced with both balance sheet and wall street lending and apply very strict underwriting standards set by our managing partners whom have been in the loan acquisition business for the past seven years.

Financial institutions look to Fairway for a number of reasons. performing assets create regulatory and management issues. A note sale allows for capital to be redeployed into revenue producing loans, improves credit and regulatory metrics, improves balance sheet and credit profiling, and reduces outstanding portfolio uncertainties. In addition, troubled loans serve as a distraction for credit and origination teams. Fairway understands the need to move diligently and with discretion to closing. This knowledge has allowed us to develop reoccurring deal relationships with banking institutions on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.
