Richard MANFIELD

CEO/CIO

Richard Manfield, President and Founder, brings a wealth of financial services and technology expertise to MIG Funding.

At MIG Funding, Richard specializes in originating residential and commercial business purpose real estate loans in California. 

Richard leverages over 35 years of successful Financial Services and Real Estate Industry expertise including over 25 years of experience in the Lending Industry.  Richard and his team have originated more than 590 private money loans totaling over $150 Million in original balances. 

These hard money loans and subsequent Trust Deed Investments are primarily based on equity in the property. Loans are secured by Deeds of Trust on real estate and are further secured by a promissory note and personal guarantee. Richard provides a win-win-win scenario with brokers, borrowers and investors and works closely with all parties to ensure a secure, fast and professional transaction. Richard always focuses on customer service and his clients can count on a strong commitment to the highest standards of compliance, origination, underwriting and servicing.

Richard has orchestrated hundreds of real estate transactions throughout his career on residential, multi-family and commercial properties.  Whether the transaction involved a property sale, lease or a loan, Richard understands the needs of his clients and secures the best solution available. His unique approach to financing with private capital allows speed and flexibility that traditional banking environments cannot provide.

Richard launched his successful sales and marketing career with IBM and spearheaded many strategic software solution sales to large multi-national Banking clients including Citibank and Union Bank. After IBM, Richard enjoyed a successful career as a Commercial Real Estate Broker with the World’s largest Commercial Real Estate Firm, CBRE.  CBRE sent Richard to Mexico City to facilitate a newly formed Joint Venture that aimed to take advantage of the new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).  Richard used his fluent Spanish language skills, leadership, technical prowess and energy to negotiate large office lease and sale transactions in the Capital of Mexico.

For borrowers, Richard and MIG Funding have developed a variety of hard money loan programs that fit in the seams of conventional loans.  Whether the borrower needs financing to fix and flip, fix and rent or supplement his/her business, Richard and his team provide a fast and professional loan.

On the Lender side, Richard manages a crowdfunding solution for real estate financing that brings together borrowers and lenders through a simple online interface. Richard’s goal is to solve the problem of inefficient, fragmented, and opaque real estate lending by using technology, data-driven processes, and expert human touch to create transparency and efficiently underwrite projects. MIG Funding fills the void in between slow, over-regulated banks, and hard money lenders that cannot supply timely or consistent sources of capital. The transparent, simple and efficient solution allows qualified investors to easily diversify their funds while giving borrowers reliable access to funds for rehabilitating properties in need.

The Trust Deeds sold on our platform earn exceptional rates of interest and can be either short or long term. Investors are provided with the Promissory Note, Deed of Trust and other documents to give them peace of mind that their investment is secure. All loans are serviced through a nationally recognized licensed, bonded and insured loan servicing company. Investors get their payments quickly with ACH deposits that go directly into an investor’s account.

Richard graduated from UCLA and earned a BA in Business Economics. Richard has Volunteered many years for the Hoag Classic Golf Tournament in Newport Beach which benefits Hoag Hospital.  Richard enjoys golf, tennis, skiing, surfing, Mariners Church and time with his family including his wife Janet, daughter Madison and son Eli.
