Private credit · By introduction only

Boringon purpose.

We protect capital first. Pinecone Capital funds the short gap between a signed real estate contract and a closed deal, away from the daily weather of public markets and home prices.

What we do

One niche, said plainly. No forecasts, no figures we can’t document, no adjectives doing heavy lifting.

We fund the gap between signing and closing: boring credit, underwritten like an insurer would underwrite it.

An insurer starts by assuming something will go wrong, then decides what it is willing to cover. We work the same way. Each transaction is short, defined before capital moves, and settled through a licensed title company or closing attorney. The excitement, such as it is, belongs to someone else.

Approach · Duration

Short.

Capital is committed for the length of a closing, not a market cycle. We are not tied to the stock market or to where home prices go next year.

Approach · Paper

Secured.

Each deal is documented with purpose-built contracts and, where applicable, recorded filings.²

² Documentation varies by deal type and state.
Approach · Settlement

Seen.

Funds move through a licensed title company or closing attorney, with a settlement statement every party can read.

Approach · Posture

Like an insurer.

Assume the deal slips. Decide what we would cover if it did. We turn down far more than we take.

Where the work happens

Real Quick Funds.

Pinecone’s capital is put to work through Real Quick Funds, the transactional funding company behind our deals. It funds earnest money deposits and double closes for real estate investors and wholesalers, working directly with title companies and closing attorneys.

Real Quick Funds offers business-purpose funding only, subject to approval. It is an affiliate of the general partner.
Earnest moneyFunding so a contract can be secured while due diligence is done.
Double closeCapital for the first of two back-to-back closings.
Title-firstEvery closing settles through a licensed third party.
The Real Quick Funds record

¹ As of October 2026. Aggregate figures for transactions funded or evaluated through Real Quick Funds since inception. “Managed” means deals Real Quick Funds worked on, from review through closing or decline; most did not close. Cumulative capital deployed may include capital redeployed across transactions. These figures describe activity, not performance, and are not indicative of future results.
Leadership & letters
Most people want their money to be interesting. I would like ours to be boring: short, documented, and closed where everyone can see the paper.

Paul brings decades of experience in financial services, including serving as international Chief Underwriting Officer for a Fortune 200 company, plus an earlier career in engineering. Pinecone is built on what both taught him: keep commitments short, write everything down, and assume the plan will need a margin for error.
