Doug Hacker

  • Doug Hacker came to brokering the hard way — before he ever brokered a loan to an institutional lender, he was the lender deploying his own money into other people's short-term projects. Some of those loans performed exactly as planned. Others did not, including one that ended in foreclosure. Imperfectly lending his own money was a masterclass. It changed how he sees a deal. Getting a borrower into a loan is easy. What Doug obsesses over is the exit — not because he can guarantee it, but because he knows what it costs when it doesn't work. Before a loan closes, he's already asking: What's the realistic ARV? Do we need higher leverage or a lower cost loan? What's the fallback if the timeline slips three months? He can't control the market or the contractors. He can control how he looks at every deal. It's not a forgiving standard. As an independent broker, Doug isn't captive to any lender's rate sheet or product. Independence is the point. He matches lenders to what investors need most for this project. His investors close deals. Doug just helps them think two steps ahead. opm.llc 678-699-5355 doug@opm.llc
