Manuel Angeles is a seasoned real estate finance expert and Broker Associate at Greenlight Mortgages, Inc. (DBA Greenlight Commercial Lending and Greenlight Home Loans). With a career spanning over a decade in the California real estate market, Manuel has established himself as a versatile specialist capable of navigating the most complex debt and equity structures.

A 2014 graduate of UCSB, Manuel entered the industry in 2015 with a focus on private money for residential and commercial fix-and-flip projects. His early expertise in structuring second trust deeds and joint ventures—often achieving 100% financing—provided him with a deep understanding of shared appreciation mortgages and sophisticated investment strategies. In 2018, he expanded his practice to include residential mortgages, bridging the gap between institutional lending and creative private capital.

Licensed by both the NMLS (#1750546) and the California Department of Real Estate (CalDRE #01985856), Manuel offers a comprehensive suite of loan programs tailored to diverse client needs:

Residential Solutions: First-time homebuyer programs, FHA, VA, USDA, and Jumbo loans.
Non-QM & Specialty Lending: Specialized products for self-employed borrowers, including Bank Statement, 1099, P&L, and Asset Utilization loans.
Investment & Commercial: Fix-and-flip financing, ground-up construction, DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans, and multifamily repositioning.
Senior Solutions: Reverse mortgages for homeowners aged 62 and older.

His extensive track record includes successfully closed transactions across California—from luxury estates in Beverly Hills and Studio City to multi-unit investments in Los Angeles and San Francisco—as well as projects in Washington, Texas, and Florida. Beyond his brokerage work, Manuel is actively building his own real estate portfolio under Integrous Real Estate Capital, focusing on residential and commercial value-add opportunities in Southern California.

Manuel is a recognized authority in the field and the author of three influential books:

The Home Loans Book: The #1 guide for homeowners and investors to getting loans approved and funded.
Private Money Partners: A case study on acquiring $20M in real estate using 100% financing and 2nd TD lenders.
Creating Customers for Life: A strategic guidebook for real estate professionals to grow their business in any economy.

A resident of Eagle Rock in Northeast Los Angeles, Manuel is a dedicated husband and father. He is committed to his community through philanthropic work with the Masons of California and enjoys spending his free time traveling with his family, snowboarding, and fishing.
