Sara Jung
About
I’m a real estate investor, lender, and capital connector with over 20 years in the lending industry, helping investors fund, structure, and scale profitable deals.
My background started in mortgage lending, where I became a top-producing loan originator working with builders and investors. Over time, I expanded into actively investing—flips, rentals, multifamily, and development projects—while also helping others access capital through bridge, hard money and private lending, and DSCR financing.
I am relationship based lender working with both new and experienced investors in:
-Leveraging financing in various capital stack structures -hard money 1st position lending
-Learning how to raise capital with confidence from private investors
-Investing through joint ventures and co-sponsorship structures—aligning capital and execution to support well positioned investment opportunities.
-I partnered with Flip Secrets because it’s a platform that aligns with how deals actually get done in the real world—not just in theory.
If you’re looking to get into investing or level up your current strategy, I’m here to be a resource and help you move faster with the right foundation.
I take a practical, deal-first approach and focus on structuring transactions that actually work—not just on paper, but through execution.
I’m straightforward, responsive, and value clear communication. Because I’ve been on both sides—as an investor and a lender—I understand where deals can break down and work proactively to solve for that early.
I’m selective about the deals and people I work with and prioritize long-term relationships.
California is home but grew up in Wisconsin, with experience investing in multiple markets—including buying a selling properties sight unseen, shaping how I evaluate deals and manage risk.
