What we do

Our Services

  1. We Deploy Our Strategies Exceptionally Fast

    We specialize in funding unique projects that do not otherwise qualify for traditional financing, creating value in deals that have been overlooked. We will buy, fund or joint venture deals that support UBU Financial’s goals of safeguarding and managing the financial investments of the family office.

  2. Our Support Is Where We Thrive

    Our expertise ranges from hospitality, cannabis, technology and energy to all areas of real estate. We are committed to risk mitigation through asset and industry diversification in all investments. We believe that we are investing in great people just as much as we are investing in great opportunities.

  3. We Are Committed to Project Revitalization

    We invest in real estate projects that are vacant, stalled or distressed. We can assume leadership immediately and are comfortable with transitions as short as three months. We can be creative to help the seller achieve all their objectives, while retaining current employees and relations and bringing quality, affordable solutions.

About Us

UBU Financial was originally established as Wis-Starr Investments, founded in 1976. Over the years, UBU Financial has been designed for customers looking for the best loans and mortgage rates to meet their unique needs.

We are a family office with experienced management, and a loan originator with the ability to originate residential and multifamily loans. We are able to properly analyze income property cash flow, operating expenses, and property and borrower characteristics. We have experience working with property managers, appraisers, engineers, quantity surveyors and lenders to get your mortgage funded at the best rates available. Focused on serving the needs of our commercial multifamily clients, we have also developed solutions for their self-employed single-family residential homes: we have programs that use retained earnings from their business operations instead of relying on personal income for qualification purposes.

UBU Financial has developed the right mix of experience, skills and relationships to successfully fund mortgages, allowing us to offer you a diverse and competitive array of mortgage loans that meet or exceed your demands.

As an active loan originator, we leverage our resources to access and deliver the industry’s most progressive, effective and dependable multifamily and commercial lending products and services.

Whether you’re looking for construction financing, refinancing of an existing property or a self-employed mortgage for your home, UBU Financial finds the optimal funding solution.
