Andrew Durden owns The Durden Company, a private holding company, and originates mortgages as a licensed loan officer with Loan Factory, Inc. He is based in Vero Beach, Florida.
For nearly a decade Andrew worked in institutional real estate finance, doing financial modeling, asset management, and portfolio analysis at Tricon Residential, BKM Capital Partners, and Phoenix Tower International. He underwrote rental assets at scale, from the inside, and learned how large operators actually evaluate a deal.
That habit never left. The Durden Company is where it lives now: a private holding company he owns and runs, built around a few businesses he intends to hold rather than trade. He takes a hands-on role in each one, from the product decisions inside Pencil to the operations behind the others.
Most investors decide with a spreadsheet they half trust. Pencil tells them whether a rental pencils in under 60 seconds, and it reconciles to a real financial engine rather than a rule of thumb. It is free, and it is the tool Andrew wanted when he was on the institutional side.
Andrew is a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator with Loan Factory, Inc. This is his own licensed practice, held separately from The Durden Company, which is not a mortgage lender or broker.
He keeps it simple. Three kinds of loans, for homebuyers and for real estate investors.
Most tools stop at the analysis. Andrew can finance the deal too. Questions go through the secure contact form on his Loan Factory profile.
