Our Mission

Our mission is to improve lives through real estate investing. We provide capital to real estate investors who are improving housing while creating opportunities for co-lenders to grow wealth through carefully structured, asset-backed loans.

Our Vision

Our vision is to become the trusted private lending partner real estate investors turn to when they want consistent capital, clear communication, and thoughtful deal structuring. We believe real estate investing can strengthen communities, create housing opportunities, and help people build long-term financial stability.

Our Values

People First

Relationships come before transactions. We take the time to understand the people behind every deal.

Transparency

Borrowers and co-lenders should clearly understand the structure, expectations, and risks of every loan.

Discipline

Strong lending requires conservative underwriting, realistic assumptions, and structured risk management.

Partnership

We succeed when our borrowers succeed and when our co-lenders’ capital is protected.

How Marie William Capital Began

From Landlords to Hard Money Lenders

Marie William Capital was founded by Charlie Booth and Suzanne Ludlum Booth after years of hands-on experience as real estate investors. The company’s name reflects the partnership behind the business, combining Suzanne’s and Charlie’s middle names to represent the life and business partnership that drives the company forward.

Their journey began in 2011 when they unintentionally became landlords after deciding to rent one of their homes instead of selling it. What started as a practical decision soon grew into a serious investment strategy.

By 2019, they committed to real estate full time. Through networking, education, and hands-on deal experience, including wholesaling, rentals, and renovation projects, they grew a portfolio of rental properties across multiple states.

In 2022, they were introduced to private lending. Recognizing the need for disciplined, relationship-focused capital in the investor community, they founded Marie William Capital in 2023.

Today, the firm serves as a trusted capital partner to real estate investors, originating short-term loans for residential renovation projects while co-lending with others in carefully structured, asset-backed deals.

The story of how Marie William Capital began explains where the company came from. The video below brings that story to life, offering a closer look at Charlie and Suzanne, the partnership behind the business, and the people-first philosophy that drives their work.
