Our Story

An independent mortgage broker for self-employed borrowers

Prosperity Lending provides home loans and commercial real estate loans for business owners, artists and self-employed professionals.

Alejandro Szita, a finance guy and real estate broker, and Thisbe Ongania, an artist, decided to provide these services after noticing that their friends often ran into challenges when applying for a mortgage.

In 2018, they decided to start their own company, Prosperity Real Estate Inc., a real estate brokerage focusing on self-employed clients on the West Side of Los Angeles. In 2021, they saw a strong need for real estate financing, and they added these to their services under the name “Prosperity Lending.” Initial clients included a fashion designer, a bass player and a trumpet player, and they soon expanded the roster to business owners in a wide range of industries.

Prosperity Lending currently partners with 15 different lenders to provide niche mortgage products for self-employed borrowers in California and Florida. We offer top-rate customer service with excellent interest rates and competitive broker fees. For ultra-out-of-the-box loans on California properties that cannot find a home anywhere else, we additionally offer in-house private financing.

Because Alejandro is a licensed and experienced California real estate broker, our service is truly comprehensive. When needed, he assists clients with title issues, problems with tenants, property-related disputes and a wide variety of other real estate challenges that property owners can run into.

Alejandro and Thisbe believe that real estate is a powerful tool for self-employed professionals, and they are committed to helping their clients use it to improve their financial health.

“When we decided on the plan that suited us, he went into action and got things rolling quickly. I recommend Alejandro to anyone who needs an honest, dependable mortgage broker.”
