Ryan successfully facilitated and closed an average of 150 short sales and REO transactions a month during the 2008 recession period. Strictly focused on “workout turnarounds" also known as flips - both in the SFR and Commercial sectors. Operating as an LP, Ryan was voted #1 Top Originator in California for four years in a row. Ryan also made Top Producer Magazine, a nationwide publication. Ryan has facilitated over $1.5 Billion in distressed real estate transactions.
Paradyme's objectives and core passion are aligned with "impact" investing designed to create generational wealth.

With multiple projects in the pipeline at any given time, Paradyme's diversified offerings are designed for today's alternative investors looking to find non-correlated, low volatility and high return strategies in an increasingly unsettled investment environment.
