Stallion Funding is a private investment firm based in Austin, specializing in short-term, asset-backed financing for real estate developers and investors.

• Identify delays, cost overruns, or compliance issues early and recommend solutions.
• Serve as the main point of contact for borrowers, contractors, and internal departments.
• Maintain accurate loan servicing data and construction status updates.
