What we finance

We do not publish rates or leverage. Both depend on the property, your plan, your experience and the state, so we quote them on a term sheet for your actual deal.

What to send with a commercial deal

Start with what you have. A purchase price and a rent roll are enough for a first look.

  • Rent roll. Units or suites, rents, lease dates and occupancy.
  • Operating statement. The last 12 months of income and expenses, if the property has history.
  • Business plan. What you will change, the budget and the timeline to stabilize.
  • Purchase contract or payoff. For an acquisition or a refinance.
  • Sponsor background. Properties you own or have operated, and who is on your team.
  • Exit. Sale, refinance into permanent debt, or hold.

How a loan gets done

  1. Send the deal

    Address, price or value, the loan amount and your plan. Add the renovation budget and rents if you have them.

  2. We review it

    We look at the property, the numbers and the exit, then tell you whether we can fund it, place it or neither.

  3. Term sheet

    If it works, you get a term sheet with the rate, fees, leverage and the name of the lender.

  4. Underwriting

    Appraisal or valuation, title, insurance, and documents for you and your entity.

  5. Closing

    You sign the loan documents and funds go out through the title company or closing attorney.
