I’m Brian Poetschlag — and I’ve been in the lending game long enough to know exactly what works (and what doesn’t).

I spent years as a Vice President of Lending in Orange County, CA, leading a team of loan officers and closing hundreds of millions of dollars in deals. I saw it all — the delays, the excuses, the endless red tape. Getting a loan shouldn’t be that hard — but somewhere along the way, banks forgot that part.

💥 Oh, and I love cars. If you love cars too — did we just become best friends?! (Yes, that’s a Step Brothers reference.) That’s part of why I created Fast Lane Funding and even designed the logo to be reflective of a home and a speedometer — to help you skip the slow lane and get the deal done, fast.

So, I walked away from the cushy salary and corporate security at the biggest bank in the world to create Fast Lane Funding — a smarter, faster way to get deals done. Now, I help homebuyers and real estate investors secure financing quickly and strategically — without the runaround.

For Homebuyers:

Buying a home should be exciting — not stressful. I’ll walk you through every step, keep things moving fast, and make sure you get the best deal possible. If there’s a problem, I’ll solve it. No surprises. No excuses.

For Real Estate Investors:

Banks don’t get creative deals — but I do. Fix-and-flips, ground-up construction, portfolio loans — if the numbers make sense, I’ll make it happen. I’ve worked with some of the biggest players in the industry, and I know how to structure complex deals to maximize your returns.

Let’s Be Real:

If you’re serious about getting things done, I’ll give you everything I’ve got. I’ll be your go-to for every lending need and I’ll have your back from start to finish. But if you’re not ready to commit or just want to shop around for the lowest rate — I’m not your guy.

I’m here to close deals and help people win — if that sounds good to you, let’s get to work.
