EXHIBIT 5 Case 3:23-cv-01034-GMM Document 52-6 Filed 04/27/23 Page 1 of 6 Benworth Capital is a hard money lender. Quite simply, we’re a financing source that is a lot different than a bank, but just as trustworthy and reliable. Headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida, we opened our doors in 2008, when many banks were closing theirs because of the global financial crisis. We observed community members with the cash flow and borrower integrity to repay a loan obligation who were left without a source for financing. We were inspired. With a shared passion for the value and importance of owning real estate, especially during the economic disaster, we created a lending alternative by offering borrowers private loans. Our loans are also referred to as hard money loans. Following our success in Florida, we opened an office in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2021. We’ve grown to become one of Florida’s premier hard money lenders, focusing exclusively on transactions involving real estate in Florida. Loans to purchase real estate Loans to refinance real estate Loans to get cash out of real estate with a second mortgage About Us Investor Login +1 (305) 676-9632 Case 3:23-cv-01034-GMM Document 52-6 Filed 04/27/23 Page 2 of 6 Currently, we finance property in Florida. It’s the market we know best (and love). Loans to finance real estate construction projects Recognized by the National Association of Mortgage Brokers for high standards of ethics, integrity, professionalism and knowledge in the mortgage industry. We approve loans that banks won’t. We make the decisions to fund hard money loans based on our unique criteria that’s a lot different than a bank, credit union, or mainstream online lender. The funds used for our hard money loans are from private investors who believe in the potential of real estate as much as we do. We consider three main factors when making a loan decision: Case 3:23-cv-01034-GMM Document 52-6 Filed 04/27/23 Page 3 of 6 The borrower's ability to repay the loan, primarily income earned from employment. The value of the property. The borrower's equity in the property. For a purchase, this means the downpayment amount. For a refinance or second mortgage, equity is the value of the property less the balance in a current mortgage. There’s more that makes us different. Anyone (with cash) can fund a loan but we’re different than a great uncle or the cash-rich entrepreneur down the street. Benworth Capital is licensed to lend. And that’s a big deal, especially in Florida, because it’s the law. It’s an even bigger deal for borrowers because that means our borrowers are protected by U.S. regulations that oversee our industry.
