Brian Valdivia is the CEO of Beltway Lending, a specialized “refi shop” designed to serve the unique needs of real estate investors. Founded by experienced investors for investors, Beltway Lending leverages firsthand industry knowledge to streamline the lending process, understanding clients’ goals and financial strengths with unparalleled speed and precision.
Under Brian’s leadership, the company has achieved remarkable success, processing over $100 million in loans in the past year alone while maintaining a perfect 5-star rating. Known for its industry-leading efficiency, Beltway prides itself on offering the fastest and most hassle-free lending process available.
Brian’s journey to leading Beltway Lending began with a degree in Business Administration and Finance from the University of Baltimore Merrick School of Business. He initially found success building an online presence for pawns shops in Maryland, a venture that flourished under his guidance. Transitioning to the corporate world, he worked as a financial analyst at Northrop Grumman, a multinational aerospace and defense technology company.
In May 2021, Brian purchased his first rental property and quickly discovered his passion for real estate investment. Recognizing that true success required mastery of the lending industry, he spent time working at a lending company to gain practical, hands-on experience. Combining this knowledge with his entrepreneurial drive, Brian launched Beltway Lending in July 2022. Simultaneously, he expanded his real estate portfolio and now owns over 140 rental properties across Maryland.
Brian’s philosophy for real estate investors is simple but powerful: “Time is undefeated.” He encourages investors to take action, saying, “Buy a property and wait…do not wait to buy a property.”
