The Underwriting Rubric: From the Classroom to the Closing Table
Before joining Investor Underwriting, Heather spent years illuminating minds as an Advanced Placement (AP) English Language and Literature teacher. With a Master of Education from Piedmont University and a BA from the University of Georgia, her classroom thrived on a clear, highly structured rubric that ensured consistent evaluation and success.
Today, she applies that exact same meticulous architecture to real estate finance. Instead of nurturing literary analysts, she expertly guides loan transactions through the underwriting pipeline. By adhering to a strict, proprietary compliance framework, Heather strips the friction out of the lending process—clearing conditions rapidly and ensuring that seasoned investors reach the closing table without the delays typical of traditional bank committees.
🏗️ Orchestrating the Capital Stack
Heather does not just process paperwork; she architects capital solutions. Whether a developer is seeking an agile Fix & Flip (RTL) loan (featuring up to 90% leverage on the purchase and 100% of the rehab budget funded), or looking to secure a 30-year DSCR Rental Loan, Heather manages the entire timeline.
Her expertise is particularly vital for developers operating in non-traditional or rural real estate markets, including the high-demand vacation corridors of North Georgia (like Blue Ridge and Lake Hartwell). She specializes in “concurrent closings”—the highly complex process of funding multiple loans on the exact same day to ensure capital momentum never stalls.
The Industry Consensus
Heather is my account manager, she’s amazing. They say teachers aren’t super money motivated, but Heather will do what she needs to do to help you with your money… She helped me get $900,000 of credit in a few weeks when other lenders were saying no.

I just want to say thank you to Heather. Today we closed three DSCR refinancing deals on our rental properties, while working at the exact same time on two new ground-up construction loans. Heather is amazing; she explains the process clearly and gets it done.
