A rising star in the world of California real estate, Ryan has literally done it all—from brokering a billion dollars in mortgage transactions to engineering and helming large scale construction projects. He was ranked a Top Producer in the country for five years and was the #1 Top Originator in California for four. But Ryan saw a different path moving forward and consequently decided that the country was ready for a brand new CRE investing mindset.

Venturing beyond the bounds of a strictly “millionaire’s club” mentality, Ryan created a financial management firm that would democratize real estate investing by integrating a cutting-edge technology driven approach with an attitude open to capitalizing on opportunities that not every CRE investment company might be able to. The Paradyme approach is one that—even in the face of a global crisis—seizes opportunities by filling critical gaps.

In 2008 in the face of total economic upheaval, Garland and company focused on the emergent “flip” market and in the process, turned what could have been an investor’s nightmare into a lucrative investing protocol. And in 2020 and 2021, the same mindset applied as Paradyme sought out those deals that made sense in an economic downturn hastened by a worldwide pandemic. Where banks and institutional lenders were dropping off the map when it came to construction and distressed asset private debt lending, Paradyme answered the call. With a series of new funds, we helped certain regions of the country get back on track while enabling our fund investors to experience measurable returns.
