A military veteran and former officer, Wendell Butler brings the same discipline, precision, and leadership he developed in uniform into the world of real estate and entrepreneurship. After transitioning out of the military, Wendell began his civilian career as a loan officer, where he gained firsthand experience structuring both hard money and conventional deals.
Today, Wendell is also the founder and owner of Flip Fuel Lending, a growing hard money lending company serving real estate investors across the United States. Drawing on his background as both an investor and former originator, he’s now focused on building the systems, processes, and culture that empower his team to move quickly, communicate clearly, and serve investors with transparency and partnership. His philosophy is simple: in this business, speed and communication win every time.
Beyond real estate and lending, Wendell is passionate about entrepreneurship and community building. He’s the host and organizer of The Hive: CLT Entrepreneurs Monthly Networking Meetup, a thriving Charlotte-based community designed to connect and empower founders, creators, and business professionals through collaboration, transparency, and shared growth.
