Opportunity

The small balance commercial marketplace is currently underserved.  Borrowers require lenders with speed, creativity, and flexibility. Banks and other lenders active in the space do not consistently meet borrowers’ needs

  • Traditional financing institutions lack flexibility and speed
  • Entrepreneurs and investors seek alternative to banks – seek longer term fixed and amortized loans with a streamlined process
  • Bank loans take roughly 45 days to close, with a difficult loan approval process – buyers must request multiple extensions, and often fail to close

  • Strong understanding of small balance market – origination, underwriting, execution and exit
  • Quick “in house” lending decisions
  • Small balance loans up to $5 million on a national basis
  • Bridge lending with rational underwriting and fast execution
  • Bridge to permanent loan programs
  • Rehab programs on unstabilized properties
  • Multiple property programs (blanket loans)
