Capstone Connectors with Derek Simkins Connecting investors with opportunities and creating success through trust, teamwork, and innovation.

I'm an Air Force veteran, newly married, and thrilled to be a first-time dad soon! My passion is connecting people in the real estate world, helping borrowers and private lenders create win-win opportunities. I focus on building trust and fostering collaboration through every deal, ensuring strong relationships and successful outcomes. Outside of work, I’m preparing for the adventure of fatherhood and embracing this exciting new chapter in life!

One of my favorite questions is...

"Derek, what's the catch?" 😂

There really isn't one. If the deal is under 70% LTV, we can potentially cover 100% of the purchase and 100% of the rehab. You just need funds for closing costs and to get the first draw moving. 👀

No experience? Cool.
First flip? Cool.

Most people think they need 10 flips under their belt before anyone will take them seriously. That's bu****it. 😅

Preferably you've got a 640+ credit score. Below that, underwriters start looking at the file like they're trying to solve a damn murder mystery 😂

Good deal + decent credit + some liquidity = let's have a conversation.

How many of you are sitting on a deal right now because you think you need more experience?

A few years ago, I was DROWNING😅

Had a triplex sucking the life out of me and about $35k in credit card debt.
The crazy part? I wasn't missing payments. My utilization was just high as hell.
Paid off the debt, credit score shot up, and ended up getting approved for $135k at 0% business credit.

That one move changed a lot!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂

Sometimes the thing holding you back isn't your income, your experience, or your business... it's just the strategy.

If you're curious what your profile might qualify for, feel free to book a call and let's see what options make sense.

Funny how life works 😅

One minute you're having dinner with family by the water...

The next minute your phone's blowing up with deals, funding questions, and people asking, "Hey Derek, can you help me with this one?" 😂

That's honestly one of the reasons I love what I do.

The business isn't really about money. It's about creating more time with the people that matter. 👀

The deals are great. The freedom is better.

What's the whole reason you're building your business in the first place?

Most people get approved for $100k+ and immediately start shopping for dumb s**t 😅

Meanwhile I’m over here thinking...

"How do I make this money make more money?" 👀

Get the funding.
Put it to work.
Pay it down.
Do it again.

Rinse and repeat. 😂

The funny part? Most people have no clue this is even a thing.

If someone handed you $150k at 0% interest tomorrow, what would you do with it? 👇

Shoot me a DM if you want to see how this whole game actually works.

Paying interest on money you don’t even have yet is dumb as hell!!!!

That’s why I like lenders that already set your draw money aside upfront. 👀

You finish the work, send the request, and get paid fast.

No weird excuses.
No “we’ll see next week” bu****it 😂

That’s how real scaling works.

If you’re tired of slow lenders, DM me or book a call and let’s talk.

Half this business is relationships 😅🤠

The other half is finding someone who can actually help you close the damn deal when the time comes 👀

That’s kinda become my thing lately…
helping people with flips, funding, DSCRs, business credit, weird deal structures, all the fun stuff 😂

If you’re building something and wanna talk strategy sometime, book a call with me.

Business never made a single dime!!!

No revenue. No tax returns. No P&Ls.

Still got another $90k from the bank because the setup made sense. 👀

Most people don’t need a bigger business… they need a better strategy 😂

DM me or book a call if you wanna see what your profile could qualify for.

Most people use credit to buy dumb s**t 😅

I’m using 0% bank money to make more money. 👀

Good deals. Good operators. Let the money work.

That’s the game.

What would you do with $100k at 0%?

DM me or book a call and let’s talk strategy.

05/18/2026

Most people get access to money and let that s**t sit there 😅

Meanwhile I’m thinking…
“How do we make it work harder?” 👀

Good deals. Good operators. Strong returns.

That’s the game.

What would you do with an extra $100k right now?

Let’s talk about it. DM me or book a call.
