About: Francisco Williams, CCIM
Critical Desk is an educational publication by Capital Direct Funding, a California business-purpose private lender (CA DRE #01885595, NMLS #1159831) based at 100 N Citrus St, Suite 530, West Covina.
Articles are written and reviewed by Francisco Williams, CCIM (CalDRE #01979442, NMLS #1858674). The guides focus on situations where the calendar is the problem: probate and trust administration, foreclosure notices, and bridge financing with a fixed exit.
We cite statutes and official sources, mark examples as illustrative, and don't publish rates, terms or closing-time promises. When a reader's situation needs individual review, we point to Capital Direct Funding's main site.
