Patrick Taylor began his career in 1983 as a developer of single-family homes where he acquired raw land and took the projects through entitlement, design, and construction. Having funded the developments with private capital, Mr. Taylor successfully completed the homes and the sales returned net profits in excess of 45%. Mr. Taylor expanded into residential and commercial mortgage banking in 1986 and financed thousands of homes and commercial buildings in Southern California and Lake Tahoe while working for Directors Mortgage Corporation. In 1996, he founded Alpine Corporation as a residential and commercial mortgage banker but expanded the scope of the business into multifamily acquisition, development, and property management just four years later. Recognizing the opportunities at Lake Tahoe for both high end residential and moderately priced work force housing apartments, Mr. Taylor began to identify and acquire sites around the lake for development. Over his 35 years in real estate; he has owned, developed, renovated, managed, and financed well over $1.0 billion of assets of both residential and commercial property. He has held a California Real Estate Salesperson license since 1987 and has since attended many real estates conferences as well as received extensive training.
