The commercial loan program built for your deal.

Because a bank alone is no longer enough.

Five programs, each built for a different kind of deal. The work is knowing which one yours belongs in — before you spend sixty days finding out it doesn’t.

Business purpose only. Investment and commercial property — not consumer-purpose or primary-residence transactions.

Tell us what you’re working on.

Property type, location, and the objective. That’s enough for us to tell you which capital sources fit and what terms are realistic.

  • No application and no credit pull at this stage
  • No upfront fees — we’re compensated at closing
  • A straight answer, including an honest no

Business purpose only — not primary residences

A bank isn’t wrong about your deal. It’s answering a different question.

A balance-sheet lender asks whether your file fits in the box it already has — its concentration limits, its recourse requirements, its committee calendar. When the answer is no, that is a statement about the box, not about the asset.

Four things routinely push a good deal outside of the box: income that shows up on a return as write-offs, title held in an entity, a licensed operation running inside the real estate, and a closing date that arrives before committee does.

Each of those has a program built for it. That is what the rest of this page is.

01
Investor non-QM

Qualify on the asset.

For one-to-four unit investment property, non-QM programs qualify the loan on the asset’s cash flow or the borrower’s actual deposits rather than tax returns. That solves the problem investors hit constantly: write-offs make the returns look thin, and conventional underwriting reads that as insufficient income, even when the property’s cash flow is fine.

  • Investors whose tax returns understate real income
  • Borrowers stacking financed properties past conventional DTI limits
  • Purchases held in an LLC or other entity
  • Short-term rental and non-traditional rental income
  • Cash-out refinances funding the next acquisition

02
Multifamily

Five units and up.

Apartment assets financed on the property’s performance rather than a documentation marathon. Private and balance-sheet capital moves on a timeline you can plan around, which matters more than a few basis points when there is a contract date attached to the deal.

  • Stabilized apartment assets, five units and up
  • Properties in lease-up or recovering from a vacancy dip
  • Refinances out of maturing or expensive short-term debt
  • Acquisitions that need to close on a real timeline
  • [CONFIRM: leverage and recourse posture on multifamily]
03
Bridge

Capital with an exit.

Bridge capital exists to buy time — to acquire quickly, reposition an asset, or complete a renovation before permanent financing makes sense. Used well, it is a tool. Used without a defined exit, it becomes the problem. We structure bridge debt around the takeout, not just the closing.

  • Acquisitions that must close faster than permanent debt allows
  • Value-add and renovation projects pre-stabilization
  • Borrowers facing a maturity who need runway to execute
  • Assets that need to season before permanent debt will price them
04
Construction

Funded against the schedule.

Ground-up and heavy rehab draw against a budget and a timeline, which makes the schedule as underwritten as the borrower. A construction file lives or dies on whether the budget, the contractor, and the exit all agree with each other — and that is what gets prepared before the file goes out.

  • Ground-up development and vertical construction
  • Heavy rehab and gut renovation beyond a bridge scope
  • Projects with a defined permanent takeout or sale exit
  • Borrowers who need the draw process to actually function
  • [CONFIRM: experience requirements and completion guaranty posture]
05
Specialty assets

The deals that fall between the desks.

A licensed care facility is a business operating inside real estate. Residential underwriting misses the operation; commercial underwriting sees a house. The file bounces between desks until it dies, or the borrower takes hard money just to close. Those are the files we go after.

  • ALF and RCFE financing — licensed assisted living and residential care facilities, national coverage
  • Mixed-use and special purpose — property that does not fit a standardized program
  • Unconventional income — operating businesses, licensed operations, non-traditional rental structures
  • Previously declined files — usually a category problem rather than a credit problem

Next step

Not sure which one your deal fits?

That is the point of the conversation, and it is the part you should not have to do yourself. Send the property, the loan amount, and the objective — we will tell you which program it belongs in, or that it does not belong in any of them.

  • Which channels the deal actually fits
  • Realistic terms, not best-case marketing
  • An honest read on the timeline
  • A clear no when it is a no
