Lantern Financial

Professional, knowledgeable and honest. As good as it gets!

Avoid Liedner and Carmona at ALL COST!!! They are not only dishonest, they are extremely rude and will blame all their mistakes on others.

I like these folks. I’ve had many investments with them over the past 9 years, and have found them to be honest and hard working to a fault. They know their stuff and are always there to answer any questions I might have. I recommend them highly.

ken and his staff are great i have worked mostly with lucine and she is also great i i would highly recommend i have been with them for about 6 yrs all payments to me and other info comes right on time

I had an excellent experience with Ken, extremely knowledgeable and helpful in every way. I really feel comfortable to use Lantern Financial for all of my borrowing and investment needs, and would highly recommend to use their good professional services. You’re in good hands.

I have been working with Ken since 2002. I started with one investment and grow to a very large portfolio. The team /​staff at Lantern have proven over the years there dedication and willing to always help. I am very grateful for having Lantern servicing my investments.

I’ve known the folks at Lantern Financial for over 30 years and highly recommend them. Each transaction has been seamless. They are pros at handling the paperwork and getting loans processed quickly. I’m a repeat customer because they treat me well and fairly.

I wish I can give this a zero star the company is a terrible hard money loan place I had the worst experience through customer service with Danielle all the way to paying off the loan with penalties, fees, prepayment penalties it was rediculous. there are a lot more hard money loan companies that you can go to that won’t charge you 10 to 15% and treat you as a criminal. especially when you are in a tough situation and you need the money. Beware if you are late on any payment they will threaten you with default. And threaten to take the property that you put in collateral for sale. I’m so glad I came up with the money to pay off this company and get rid of them. a little added note the prepayment penalty that I paid on a hundred and thirty thousand dollar loan was close to $ 20,000. Penalties and late fees added up close to $ 40,000 extra I had to pay on top of my loan stay away from this company. And daneille has no heart. I hope everyone reads this before committing to lantern in sherman oaks.

Excellent costumer service and professionalism. Kenneth and Steve provided me with an honest service. They answered any questions I had thoroughly and treated me like family. I have been with Lantern Financial for multiple years now and I have continuously benefitted from their work with me. Thank you Kenneth and Steve for always keeping your word and for reducing my financial stress!

Warning stay away from this company. I had a loan with them for ten years tough times 13 percent loan a pre payment penality of 17 000 I got a loan for 150 000 thousand danielle is the worst customer service lady I ever dealt with. I guess thats her job but have a heart. Second if u are one day late they will hit u with huge late fees when finaly we payed of the loan 17 000 pre payment penality and we sold the loan one day after the monthly payment was due they would not sign of on the escrow untill they added another 250 dollar fee. They treanten you to put you in default for every little thing this is a horrible hard money loan place to deal with. stay away from them they are very nice when you are trying to get a loan then they stick daneille on you to try to get as much money out of you beware. there are a lot more company that will treat you like a human when you go threw tough times and need a hard money loan.

Lantern Financial performed their part of the deal and satisfied the loan that my client was in the market for. This was a win win situation for everyone. Terms were disclosed fairly and boy did they close FAST ! Dealing with money is usually stressful but Martin and Lucy sure made it humorous, minimal stress and successful. Thank you guys for a job well done.
