Direct Private Capital • Turnkey Commercial Property Financing

Commercial Hard Money Lenders
Nationwide Direct Commercial Loans

25+ Years of Direct Commercial Lending  •  $1B+ Funded

A direct private commercial lending platform offering two clear financing paths for stabilized, income-producing properties nationwide. We fund retail centers, office buildings, warehouses, and industrial assets in urban and suburban markets. We offer two distinct commercial pathways tailored to your financial profile: a Pure Asset-Based 50% LTV Program driven solely by equity, and a Credit-Driven 70% LTV Program requiring a 650+ mid credit score.

Important Guidelines: These programs are strictly for turnkey commercial properties with a minimum of 70% occupancy and rent-ready status. No rehab financing, no construction, and no rural assets allowed. Commercial appraisals require a standard two-week turnaround, with average closing timelines of approximately 3 weeks.

Eligible Turnkey Asset Classes:

  • Retail Storefronts & Shopping Centers: Strip malls, neighborhood retail plazas, and single-tenant net-lease properties.
  • Warehouses: Stabilized warehouse facilities used for storage or commercial occupancy (no industrial logistics or distribution underwriting).
  • Office Buildings & Office Condos: Stabilized professional office assets in established commercial districts.
  • Self-Storage Facilities: Income-producing, stabilized storage assets with consistent occupancy.

What Is a Commercial Hard Money Loan?

A commercial hard money loan is a short-term financing solution designed for stabilized, income-producing commercial properties. Our programs are built specifically for turnkey assets with strong occupancy and predictable cash flow, not redevelopment or construction projects.

We offer two distinct underwriting paths: a Pure Asset-Based Program (up to 50% LTV) driven entirely by property equity, and a Credit-Driven Program (up to 70% LTV) for borrowers with a 650+ mid credit score.

Key Highlights:

  • Turnkey Only: Minimum 70%+ occupancy required
  • No Rehab / No Construction: Stabilized assets only
  • Two Underwriting Paths: Asset-based or credit-driven
  • Execution Timeline: Approximately 3-week closing cycle (including appraisal)

These loans are designed for investors acquiring or refinancing stabilized commercial properties in urban and suburban markets nationwide where speed, certainty, and execution matter.

Ken, simply put, is the man. I was weary of using hard money on a deal that I thought would be easy to get a conventional loan for, but then 2 different banks backed out on me. But not before they dragged me along for weeks and even months asking for more and more docs, papers, calls, emails, forms, etc. I thought it was finally all sewn up and then the bank pulled out literally the day before the appraisal appointment. At this point I had less than a month to get an entire new purchase loan AND cash-out refinance (to pay for the new down payment), and I called Ken. I have never in any industry in my life seen someone as responsive and proactive as Ken is. Calls, emails, texts, he is there to help. This was a commercial deal so the appraisal part took longer than residential, but Ken's lending side was quicker than anything I've ever seen. I was beyond stressed about this deal but with Ken's help we finally closed. I am so grateful and I cannot recommend him enough.

Ken has always been there every step of the way to get my loan closed. No matter what time of the day I called, he was there. I would definitely recommend him, especially if other lenders have already said no. He’ll get it done!

Ken is a valuable partner in business no nonsense type whom some would call abrasive but I appreciate because he has always been straight forward rates may be a bit higher but he can close. He is my go to lender whenever I need to close a deal.
