RD Walker has set up a business as a commercial lender. He says he can make your loan but first one has to pay an up-front "due diligence" or "processing" fee. This makes sense in commercial lending because every private commercial lender does it. The only thing he does is to visit the site of the property and have you sign what seems to be professional documents relating to a contract. The only thing he has done in the 8 months since first contacting him is make excuses for not being able to fund the loan. That's during the rare times we have been able to actually get hold of him. He is never available in the office nor via his mobile (mailbox is always full). He doesn't return any phone calls or emails. (He did return one a couple of days ago to say he is still going to fund the loan, but as usual nothing specific.) And, no follow-up, as usual. It seems the only thing he does is travel to locations for site visits to pick up a fee. It just looks like he might broker some small commercial deals, at the same time making it look like he is a lender so he can collect fees for extra income on deals he can't find an actual lender for. We have asked him repeatedly to answer very specific questions relating to things he has said but he never responds.
