Robert Greenberg, co-founder and CEO of Skechers, has been active in the real estate lending space.

He stated that Turn Capital is launching a debt fund and a "quick turn" fix-and-flip product that he said would close in five days or less without pulling credit or waiting on an appraisal, though he noted not everything would qualify.

Greenberg also reflected on his earlier career, including founding LA Gear in the 1980s, where he described the company as "more of a fashion athletic shoe company" focused on consumer trends.

“This came about after the JOBS Act which was a piece of legislation that Obama signed into law in 2012 — you could wrap a loan up to a million dollars and get people to invest in it, and so without any violations of solicitation it was perfectly legit SEC. There were probably a hundred-ish crowdfunding sites in the fir...”
“The amount of institutional capital in this space has kind of made everything that everybody's doing look very similar — it's a very commoditized product. That institutional infusion has made common-sense lending less of the rule of the day.”
“We want to build balance sheet — we're doing balance sheet lending now primarily on the RTL side so we can be in control. We like to say we can close in five days and we can; we've closed some loans in 24 hours.”
