The first
quarter of 2003 started out a bit slowly in January, but very
quickly turned up the speed and has remained as busy as the last
quarter. With the war started, and the uncertainty of the Iraq
situation no longer a pressing issue, it seems that once the
war is over, we'll start to see a gradual improvement in the
economy. We funded 26 new loans this quarter, we had 23 close,
and have 10 more in escrow, as of the last day of the month.
We added
250k from new investor money this quarter. We have $3.15 million
in the portfolio, which is holding 35 loans, valued at $4.857
million. We are fully invested as of today, but we have many
loans that may close in the next couple of days. Our average
life of each loan is holding steady at 114 days. We have funded
and closed a total of 101 loans since the inception of DenSco.
I had mentioned
Rick Rickert in a past newsletter. For five years he has been
buying, fixing up and reselling foreclosure homes. In the last
six months he has decided to focus on providing a service to
people that want to do "fix and flips". His company,
Maricopa Investors Alliance, provides a Chinese menu of services
for qualified buyers. He has become a great referral resource
for DenSco. He and I have a working relationship that goes back
15 years. I'm excited to be working with him again.
I've begun
working with lawyers on updating DenSco's memorandum. I hope
that by the end of this quarter we'll have it completed. I will
be sending one to each investor. I am required to update this
every two years with my previous two years activity. It will
also be sent to new investors. I appreciate all the word of mouth
advertising that all of you have provided! I will continue to
strive to grow the portfolio and provide all of my investors
with a great return on their investment!
