Who We Are & What We Do

Loren Howard

Founder And Managing Member

Loren Howard’s journey is defined by resilience, vision, and a commitment to success. As a standout college athlete, Loren achieved remarkable success on the field. He was named Freshman All-American Defensive End and Big Ten Defensive Freshman of the Year. In his sophomore year, he earned All-Conference Defensive End honors, and by his junior year, Loren was ranked as one of the top draft prospects by Mel Kiper. However, his football career was cut short by injury.

Undeterred, Loren shifted his drive and focus to the business world. His first major success came through his lead generation company, where he earned his first million. This achievement marked the beginning of a series of ventures across multiple industries, where Loren consistently grew companies to 8-figure successes. Today, he brings that same vision and determination to Prime Plus Mortgages, helping real estate investors achieve financial success through strategic note investing.

Loren’s passion extends beyond business. As the co-founder and board member of Valley Guardians, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children through education, mentorship, and financial support.

Loren and his wife Diane, who owns Esthetic Finesse, Lip Injections Scottsdale, reside in Paradise Valley, with their two young children.

Paperwork Reduction

Paperwork Reduction. Really.
