RBI Private Lending Shines at IMN Single-Family Rental Awards
RBI Private Lending is proud to announce its recognition as a Top 5 finalist in two prestigious categories at the IMN Single-Family Rental (SFR) Industry Awards. The event, which occurred recently in Scottsdale, spotlighted two major achievements: BTR/Construction Lender of the Year and Fix & Flip/DSCR Lender of the Year. These accolades not only highlight RBI's growing prominence in construction and investor lending but also reflect a year filled with significant growth, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to client success.
CEO Ernesto Rostoker's Insights
CEO Ernesto Rostoker expressed his thoughts on this remarkable achievement, stating, "Being recognized by IMN reinforces the value of the work our team has done to strengthen our programs, enhance our processes, and support investors at every stage of their projects. It's a meaningful milestone for our organization and a powerful motivator to keep raising the bar." It’s evident that the hard work and dedication of the RBI team is paying off as they gain recognition in the industry.
Understanding the Awards
The SFR Industry Awards are designed to honor companies that are shaping the future of rental housing. The BTR/Construction Lender of the Year award recognizes lenders based on various criteria such as origination volume, creative deal structures, and effectiveness in build-to-rent and construction financing. Meanwhile, the Fix & Flip/DSCR Lender of the Year award evaluates performances in value-add and rental loan products, especially in today’s ever-changing interest rate environment.
RBI's Comprehensive Support for Investors
RBI’s placement as a finalist in both categories highlights its commitment to supporting real estate investors throughout their investment journey—supporting them from acquisition and renovation to stabilization, leasing, and ultimately, long-term portfolio growth. This holistic approach to investor support has set RBI apart in a crowded marketplace.
Recognition for Andres Saias
Furthermore, Andres Saias, the Chief Lending Officer at RBI, has been recognized as a 2026 Top Emerging Star by Scotsman Guide. This award honors exceptional lending professionals under 40 who are making waves of progress and innovation in the mortgage industry. Since joining RBI in 2015, Saias has successfully contributed to the firm's expansion and the enhancement of its lending programs.
A Proud Moment for RBI
Rostoker added, "We are extremely proud of Andres and pleased to see his talent, expertise, and impact recognized on a national stage. He is helping redefine what's possible in private lending and setting the pace for the next generation of industry leaders."
