Under BJ Turner's leadership, Dunleer adapted to the economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic by expanding its lending focus to include bridge to equity loans for investment platforms and developers, ranging from $500,000 to $5 million. Additionally, Dunleer is investing in solar energy through a partnership that acquires and leases rooftop solar systems to homeowners, particularly in California, providing stable returns and tax benefits. This strategic pivot aims to benefit both investors and the environment.

2. Under BJ Turner’s leadership, Dunleer diversified its operations to
respond to the economic downturn in the real estate industry at
the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

3. First, Dunleer expanded its lending opportunities with a focus
on loans for other investment platforms and developers. The
loans are primarily structured as bridge to equity loans, a
lending structure that typically has quick turnarounds of
between three and ten months. The loans start at $500,000
and go up to $5 million.

4. Dunleer has also been actively investing in solar energy. The
Dunleer Energy investment platform is partnered with a
seasoned solar installer and operator. The investment vehicle
acquires rooftop solar systems on residential properties and
leases them back to the property owners, primarily in
California. This strategy can offer Dunleer investors the
benefits of investing in an opportunity that offers historically
stable return profiles, and also the benefit of investing in the
future of the environment and planet. Finally, investors can
often use the generous investment tax credits associated with
renewable energy investing to significantly mitigate their tax
liabilities.
