About Us

Automation Finance is an investment platform. We raise capital directly from individual investors to buy deeply distressed residential mortgages at a discount to their face value. We then work with the borrowers to craft a solution to their distress.

After the global financial collapse in 2008, millions of homeowners suffered financial distress, with many falling behind on their mortgage payments and their lenders were unable or unwilling to help them.

This is where AF steps in. We buy these deeply distressed mortgages at a discount and work with the borrowers to avoid foreclosure and the loss of their homes. Our goal is find a new lower payment that every borrower can afford. Once this restructure process is complete, we can hold the loan, or sell it at a profit.
