RR 015 | Cesar Pena & Weiming Peng

Dec 20, 2017

Today on Real Realtors, I sat down with Cesar Pena and Weiming Peng. Cesar is a Loan Officer for Rubicon Mortgage Fund, and focuses on securing his clients short term financing for commercial and residential properties. Weiming works with Asset Exchange Company, dealing mainly with 1031 Exchanges. Weiming is most known for the seminars on 1031 Exchanges he gives all over the country. We spent the episode discussing the complexities of 1031 Exchanges, as well as what you should know when trying to secure financing for bridge loans, as well as touch upon the continued housing crisis in the Bay Area
