  • “Classic Lake’s diligence in underwriting, collecting and analyzing data, and dedication to quality were immediately evident. During the engagement, Mr. Walton became an integral part of our project team and was an excellent representative of our organization.”

    Brian Oxford, New Markets Manager, CAHEC

  • "UHC contracted with Classic Lake to assist UHC’s management on this complex transaction. Kyle’s vast knowledge of the program made it easier to close the NMTC transaction on time. UHC highly recommend Kyle as a consultant for providing advisory in NMTC financing to non-profit organizations”

    Jesús Rafael Maldonado, CFO, United Health Centers of the San Joaquin Valley

  • “Kyle's ability to break down a complex transaction into clear and simple steps was critically important to communicating the New Market Tax Credit requirements and benefits to our key donors and Board of Directors. Classic Lake demonstrated a genuine passion for Three Square's work, and food-insecure Southern Nevadans will have access to significantly more nutritious food because of him. Without hesitation I would recommend Kyle Walton and Classic Lake for anyone seeking investment structuring and advisory services."
