The Loan Company of San Diego, a California Limited Partnership was founded in 1974 by Steven B. Dillaway, an Attorney, CPA, and Real Estate Broker.
The mission of the Partnership is to underwrite, fund, and service a portfolio of real estate secured loans suitable for investors who are seeking a reasonable return with moderate risk and acceptable liquidity.
The Partnership business model is simple. Qualified investors purchase an interest in the Partnership and become Limited Partners. Partnership capital is pooled and used to sustain a portfolio of trust deeds (i.e., loans secured by real property). These loans generate interest and other related proceeds, which are pooled and distributed to Limited Partners based on their proportionate share of Partnership capital.
The Partnership is managed by two General Partners and a President. The President is Ivan Lavinsky. The General Partners are Steve Dillaway, as an individual, and Corporate GP, a California Corporation. The individuals who make up the General Partners and their families are significant investors in the Partnership, giving them a vested interest in the Partnership’s success and longevity.
Over 46 years we have made more than 1,200 loans. We currently manage a loan portfolio of approximately $185M.
