ABOUT

Gonzalo A. Barajas is a dynamic and highly experienced real estate investor, developer, and entrepreneur with over two decades of hands-on success in residential, commercial, industrial, and land development projects across Texas, Oklahoma, and beyond. Since 2001, Gonzalo has completed over 70 real estate transactions, spanning residential flips and rentals, industrial warehouse developments, vacation rental portfolios, and seller-financed home acquisitions. His investment strategy is focused on value creation through creative deal structuring, efficient capital deployment, and vertically integrated execution. Gonzalo’s model combines acquisitions, private lending, development, and construction management, giving him complete control over the lifecycle of an investment—from sourcing and underwriting to renovation, lease-up, and disposition. He is the founder of Mi Casa Lending, a seller-finance mortgage platform that helps underserved families achieve homeownership while offering investors reliable, high-yield notes backed by real estate. Mi Casa Lending uses licensed RMLOs and third-party servicers to ensure Dodd-Frank compliance and seamless note servicing. Gonzalo also leads United Services of America LLC, a certified minority-owned construction and facility maintenance company serving investors, retailers, and public agencies. His team of over 30 field technicians and subcontractors handles cosmetic rehabs, make-ready services, and tenant improvements. Under his leadership, the company has grown its footprint across Texas and become a registered federal vendor for government projects. Some of his notable real estate accomplishments include: Developing and leasing over 60,000 sq. ft. of warehouse/flex space in North Texas, with full occupancy at delivery. Leading a residential subdivision development in Granbury, TX, offering seller-financed lots with strong ROI. Operating a vacation rental portfolio in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, with existing and future land entitlement opportunities. Flipping and managing dozens of residential homes, duplexes, and triplexes throughout Dallas–Fort Worth. Acquiring and repositioning industrial and commercial properties for long-term lease or sale. Financing over 40 residential buyers through seller-financed transactions using safe, structured lending tools. Previously, Gonzalo founded and ran Don Carro, a multi-location used car dealership and auto finance operation based in Dallas. Over 12 years, he grew the company to over 150 employees across 8 locations, implementing performance-based management systems and in-house underwriting to serve thousands of customers. He sold the business in 2023 to fully dedicate his time to real estate and lending ventures. Gonzalo holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance and Computer Information Systems from the University of Texas at El Paso and an MBA from Drake Law University. He is licensed by the Texas Office of the Consumer Credit Commissioner (OCCC) and as a property and casualty insurance agent, allowing him to offer comprehensive risk mitigation strategies to real estate investors. Beyond business, Gonzalo is committed to community involvement. He actively supports Casa Karike, a children's home in Mexico where he assists with the care and development of 15 children. Locally, he volunteers at Elevate Life Family Church, contributing to outreach efforts and spiritual development programs. These experiences reflect his servant-leader mindset and belief in creating lasting impact both economically and socially. With deep market knowledge, operational experience, and financial discipline, Gonzalo continues to grow a real estate portfolio that generates long-term value for investors, families, and communities alike.
