Education First

What does a commercial loan broker actually do?

A broker doesn’t lend you money—we connect you with lenders who do. Think of us as your navigator. We know which lenders will say yes, what they require, and how to position your application for approval.

We Shop the Market for You

Instead of applying to 10 lenders one by one—each triggering a hard credit inquiry—we identify which lenders best match your property type, loan size, credit profile, and timeline. One broker, one process, the best match.

We Prepare Your Package

Our accounting background sets us apart. We help you organize bank statements, tax returns, and financial statements the right way—so lenders see a clean, credible application that moves through underwriting faster.

We Negotiate on Your Behalf

We are in your corner from application to closing. We communicate directly with lenders, clarify underwriting questions, and advocate for the best possible terms—so you don’t have to navigate it alone.

We Explain Every Step

No confusing jargon. No surprises. We walk you through rates, points, LTV ratios, and what everything means before you sign anything. Educated borrowers make better decisions—and we believe that’s your right.

Fix & Flip and BRRRR Lending

These aren’t just loan products—they’re investment strategies. And they require a partner who understands both the financing and the financials.

⭐ Our Specialty

Fix & Flip Loans

Short-term financing for investors who purchase a distressed property, renovate it, and sell it for a profit. This loan covers both the purchase price and renovation costs—so you’re not tying up all your own cash. Fix it, sell it, repay the loan, keep the profit.

Loan Amounts$50K – $2.5M+
Typical Term12 Months
CoversPurchase + Renovation
RepaymentUpon Sale of Property
Close TimeAs Fast as 10 Business Days
⭐ Our Specialty

Fix & Hold (BRRRR) Loans

Buy a distressed property, renovate it, rent it out, then refinance into a long-term loan—and repeat. The initial short-term loan funds the purchase and rehab. Once the property is stabilized with tenants, we help you refinance into a permanent rental loan so you can do it all over again.

Phase 1Short-Term Rehab Loan
Phase 2Refinance into Long-Term
QualificationDSCR (Property Cash Flow)
Property TypesSFR, Multi-Family, Mixed-Use
StrategyBuild a Rental Portfolio

Why Fix & Flip and BRRRR Are Our Specialty

These strategies require more than a lender. They require someone who understands the numbers on both sides—the financing and the financials. As your broker and your accountant, we help you structure deals, track project costs, manage your books through the renovation, and prepare your taxes at year-end. That’s a level of support most lenders simply cannot offer. When your loan closes, we don’t disappear—we keep your investment financially organized for the next one.

Know Before You Borrow

Key lending terms explained plainly.

We believe educated borrowers make better decisions. Here are the terms you will hear most often—in plain English.

LTV
Loan-to-Value Ratio

The loan amount as a percentage of the property’s current value. A 75% LTV means you are borrowing 75% and bringing 25% as a down payment or equity. The lower the LTV, the less risk for the lender—which often means better terms for you.

LTC
Loan-to-Cost Ratio

The loan amount as a percentage of the total project cost, including purchase price and renovation budget. Common in fix-and-flip financing. A 90% LTC means the lender is covering 90 cents of every dollar in project cost.

DSCR
Debt Service Coverage Ratio

Your property’s net operating income divided by its debt payments. A ratio of 1.25 means the property earns 25% more than it costs to finance. Most investment property lenders require a DSCR of at least 1.0—1.25 or better is ideal.

Points
Origination Fee

An upfront fee expressed as a percentage of the loan amount, paid at closing. One point equals 1% of the loan. On a $200,000 loan, two points equals $4,000. Points are standard in private lending and are always disclosed before you commit to anything.

Common Questions

Answers you deserve before you apply.

? Do I need perfect credit to qualify?

Not for most programs we work with. Private and hard money lenders focus primarily on the value of the collateral. Many programs have minimum FICO scores around 620, and asset-based programs may be even more flexible. We assess your full financial picture during the free consultation.

? How is a hard money loan different from a bank loan?

Traditional bank loans focus on credit score, income documentation, and debt-to-income ratio—and can take 30–60 days to close. Hard money loans are asset-based: the lender focuses on the property value. They close faster (often 10–14 days), carry higher rates, and are short-term. Designed for investors who need speed and flexibility.

? What does “interest-only” mean?

Your monthly payments cover only the interest—not the principal balance. This keeps your monthly cost low during the loan term. At the end (typically 12 months for fix-and-flip loans), you pay off the full principal by selling or refinancing the property. It’s a cash flow strategy, not a way to avoid repayment.

? Can messy books keep me from getting approved?

Yes—and this is one of the most common issues we see. Lenders reviewing business loans want clean, organized financials. Unreconciled books or disorganized tax returns raise red flags. That’s exactly why our combination of accounting and lending expertise is so valuable—we identify and fix issues before submission.

? What documents will I need?

Most lenders require: completed loan application, authorization for credit and background check, recent bank statements, property appraisal, entity documentation (LLC formation docs), renovation estimates for fix-and-flip, and current leases if tenant-occupied. We help you organize everything correctly before submission.

? How much does your broker service cost?

Your initial funding consultation is completely free. As a broker, we are typically compensated through lender-paid fees or an origination fee that is disclosed upfront and built into your closing costs. No hidden charges. No upfront costs to you. Full transparency before you commit to anything.
