August 28th, 2008What Do You Look for in an Hotel Loan ?
If you're like most of our sponsors, you've been around the block long enough to know that great product counts for a lot, but product alone isn't always the solution. Whether you're outgrowing your local lenders, embarking on major expansion, looking to maximize your leverage, or entering a new market, our Commercial Lending Group is focused on developing strong, long term relationships with property owners nationwide and delivering real solutions for the challenges they face.
We Deliver Speed, Service, Structuring & Size
In our business, strong relationships are built on trust, fit and being able to consistently finish what we start. So we seek out sponsors who are uniquely positioned in markets we understand, and we support them with a solid foundation of commercial loan excellence.
Speed
Nobody's Faster. By combining broad domain expertise, deep experience in the capital markets, and a no-nonsense approach to debt placement with the ever improving efficiencies made possible by our investments in technology, we deliver quick answers, and even quicker closings. And we need to be that fast to maintain over $4Bn in loan volume across all products over the past 24 months.
Service
We get it. You're busy. You've got an empire to build and mouths to feed. That's why you get the full concierge-level treatment from us, totally unlike any other commercial loan company in the market. Experience our streamlined documentation process & full service approach and you'll understand why many sponsors mistake us for a private bank. The difference is, we understand the challenges of operating a business. We're businesspeople just like you, not bankers, and proud of that pedigree.
Structuring
You don't need creative financing to benefit from creativity. Whether your goal is to minimize your equity investment and maximize leverage or utilize complex collateral, we've seen it all. Creative structuring can make a deal or even save a deal, and requires two key ingredients which we have in spades: Broad access to all forms of national and international capital along with real experience putting that capital together with top tier sponsors in complex transactions. Our team is drawn from all across the real estate, investment banking, legal, and private equity world, with decades of experience in engineering financing ranging from the conventional to the downright exotic.
Size
One of the top reasons our new sponsors cite for doing business with us is that they've hit a "lending limit" with their current bank. It's a common problem, and depending on your market can occur when you hit anywhere from $10MM to $100MM out to one bank or local group. Whether you're seeking financing for your first $1MM apartment building or your tenth $800MM hotel resort development, you'll find that we have a business unit that caters to your needs, and the broad access to hundreds of sources of capital running the gamut from the traditional to the absolutely adventurous.
