Commercial real estate represents the pinnacle of real estate investment sophistication, offering superior returns, portfolio diversification, and substantial wealth creation potential for experienced investors. In Anahei' dynamic business environment and throughout Orange Count' thriving commercial corridors, opportunities abound for acquiring, developing, and repositioning office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and mixed-use properties. Our commercial real estate hard money loans provide the sophisticated capital solutions that serious commercial investors require, featuring net operating income (NOI) focused underwriting, flexible terms that accommodate complex transactions, and execution speed that captures time-sensitive opportunities.
Commercial properties operate under fundamentally different principles than residential investments, requiring lenders who understand lease structures, tenant credit analysis, expense allocation methodologies, and market cycle dynamics. Our commercial lending team brings decades of combined experience in commercial real estate investment, development, and finance, enabling us to evaluate opportunities with the nuance and sophistication these transactions demand. We recognize that commercial real estate success depends on factors ranging from tenant mix and lease rollover schedules to location accessibility and economic base characteristics.
Whether you're acquiring a stabilized office building in Anahei' professional district, developing retail space to serve the cit' growing population, repositioning an underperforming industrial property, or pursuing a ground-up development opportunity, our commercial financing programs provide the capital foundation for your success. With loan amounts from $500,000 to $50 million and terms ranging from bridge financing to permanent debt, we accommodate commercial transactions of virtually any scale throughout Orange Count' premier commercial submarkets.
Service applications
Our commercial real estate financing programs address the diverse capital requirements of sophisticated commercial investors across multiple property types and investment strategies. For office building acquisitions, we provide financing solutions that consider lease rollover schedules, tenant credit quality, and market positioning rather than simply applying standardized LTV limits. Our underwriting incorporates net operating income projections based on actual lease terms, enabling higher leverage on well-leased properties while maintaining appropriate risk parameters for buildings facing near-term vacancy exposure.
Retail property financing requires particular attention to tenant mix, co-tenancy provisions, and location fundamentals. Our retail loan programs accommodate various retail formats, from neighborhood shopping centers and strip malls to single-tenant net lease properties. We understand the evolving retail landscape and can structure financing for repositioning strategies that address changing consumer preferences, including reconfiguring tenant spaces, adding experiential retail components, or converting obsolete retail to alternative uses.
Industrial property financing has become increasingly important as e-commerce growth drives demand for logistics facilities, last-mile distribution centers, and manufacturing space. Our industrial loan programs serve investors acquiring existing facilities, developing new industrial properties, or repositioning obsolete industrial buildings for modern uses. We consider factors including ceiling heights, loading configurations, power capacity, and transportation access in our underwriting and valuation processes.
Construction financing for commercial ground-up development requires specialized expertise in project management, contractor qualification, and milestone-based disbursement. Our construction loan programs provide acquisition and development capital with experienced oversight of the construction process, including inspection protocols, contractor payment verification, and contingency management. For value-add commercial projects requiring renovation, tenant improvements, or repositioning, we offer bridge financing with renovation reserves and flexible terms that accommodate project timelines.
Common challenges
Commercial real estate investors encounter significant financing obstacles that conventional lenders often cannot overcome. Traditional commercial banks apply rigid underwriting criteria that don't account for property-specific value drivers, transitional cash flows, or sophisticated ownership structures. Loan committees unfamiliar with local market dynamics may decline compelling opportunities based on generalized assumptions rather than detailed property analysis. Processing timelines of 60-90 days cause investors to lose competitive bidding situations to better-capitalized buyers or all-cash competitors.
Net operating income complexity creates additional challenges, as conventional lenders struggle to evaluate properties with varied lease structures, expense reimbursement methodologies, or transitional tenancy. Prepayment restrictions in existing financing can prevent investors from capitalizing on favorable market conditions or executing value-add strategies. Recourse requirements force investors to accept personal liability exposure that conflicts with portfolio-level risk management strategies. Furthermore, construction and renovation financing for commercial properties requires specialized expertise that many conventional lenders lack, resulting in inadequate loan structures or excessive oversight requirements.
Our approach
Our commercial real estate lending approach combines institutional-grade underwriting with the flexibility and responsiveness that private capital provides. We assemble dedicated deal teams for each commercial transaction, bringing together expertise in property valuation, lease analysis, market research, and capital markets to evaluate opportunities comprehensively. Our underwriting process examines actual lease documents, tenant financial statements, and operating histories to develop accurate NOI projections and appropriate leverage levels.
We structure commercial loans to align with property cash flows and investor objectives, offering interest-only periods during lease-up or renovation phases, flexible prepayment provisions that accommodate exit strategies, and non-recourse options for qualified transactions. Our construction and renovation oversight balances appropriate risk management with practical project support, ensuring capital availability when needed without unnecessary administrative burden. Throughout the loan term, we maintain proactive communication with borrowers, providing market insights and supporting portfolio optimization strategies.
For complex transactions involving multiple properties, joint ventures, or sophisticated ownership structures, we offer customized financing solutions that conventional lenders cannot match. Our ability to close quickly on time-sensitive opportunities while providing the loan amounts and structures that commercial investments require makes us a preferred financing partner for serious commercial real estate investors.

Frequently asked questions
What types of commercial properties do you finance?
We provide hard money financing for all major commercial property types, including office buildings (Class A, B, and C), retail centers (strip malls, neighborhood centers, power centers), industrial properties (warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities), mixed-use developments, and single-tenant net lease properties. Our loan programs accommodate both stabilized income-producing properties and value-add opportunities requiring repositioning, renovation, or lease-up throughout Anaheim and Orange County.
What is the maximum loan-to-value ratio for commercial properties?
We typically offer loan-to-value ratios up to 70% for stabilized commercial properties with strong tenant profiles and demonstrated cash flow. For value-add or transitional properties, leverage may range from 60-65% of cost or current value, with the potential for increased loan amounts upon successful completion of business plans and value creation. Actual leverage levels depend on property type, location, tenant credit quality, lease terms, and overall transaction strength. We can also structure mezzanine financing or preferred equity to achieve higher overall capital stacks when appropriate.
How do you evaluate commercial properties for financing?
Our commercial underwriting focuses on net operating income (NOI) and debt service coverage rather than standardized valuation metrics. We analyze actual lease agreements, tenant credit quality, lease rollover schedules, expense structures, and market conditions to project sustainable cash flows. Our evaluation includes property inspections, market comparable analysis, and review of operating histories. For development or renovation projects, we examine construction budgets, contractor qualifications, permitting status, and feasibility studies. This comprehensive approach enables us to structure appropriate financing for complex commercial transactions.
Can you provide non-recourse commercial financing?
Yes, we offer non-recourse financing options for qualified commercial properties and experienced borrowers. Non-recourse loans limit borrower liability to the property itself, with standard carve-outs for fraud, misrepresentation, environmental issues, and certain bankruptcy events. Non-recourse availability depends on property quality, leverage level, borrower experience, and loan structure. We also provide limited recourse options that balance risk management with borrower protection preferences. Our team works with borrowers to structure liability terms appropriate for each transaction and portfolio strategy.
What loan terms are available for commercial real estate?
We offer flexible terms tailored to commercial investment strategies and property characteristics. Bridge loans range from 12 to 36 months with interest-only payments, ideal for acquisitions, repositioning, or situations requiring permanent financing at a later date. Construction loans provide 12-24 month terms with extension options for ground-up development or substantial renovation. Permanent financing options extend up to 10 years with fixed or floating rates. Interest rates vary based on property type, leverage, loan term, and transaction complexity, with competitive pricing for strong deals in desirable locations.
