About Lawton Building and Loan
Lawton Building and Loan is a Fort Worth loan brokerage built for the deals banks say no to. Investors, builders, and business owners come to us for unique properties, tough credit, and situations that do not fit a bank checklist, and for a process that stays simple from the first call to closing.
Meet Joel Lawton
Joel Lawton is a licensed mortgage loan originator, NMLS #380245, licensed in Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. He has built his business the slow way, one funded deal and one repeat client at a time, and most of his clients come from referrals and from folks who watched him work in Texas real estate groups online.
His specialty is the file other lenders pass on: manufactured homes, rural properties, portfolios of rentals, assisted living facilities, and borrowers whose credit has a story behind it. If a deal can be structured honestly, he will find the structure.
What We Do
- Fix and flip loans and ground-up construction loans, beginners welcome
- DSCR rental loans, including manufactured homes built in 1976 or newer and rural properties
- Commercial and multifamily loans, including portfolio loans
- Assisted living and care facility financing, from small care homes up to FHA 232 for larger facilities
- Business funding for owners who need capital to grow
One Roof for the Paperwork, Too
Our sister company, Sewell Business Services, handles taxes, bookkeeping, and entity formation for many of the same clients. Loans on one side, paperwork on the other, so nothing about a deal gets lost between two offices that never talk to each other.
We are a local Fort Worth shop, not a call center. When you call, you get us. Call or text (817) 862-6922, or start with the qualification button below and we will take it from there.
