    CRE Loans and Commercial Real Estate Financing

    Commercial real estate financing for acquisition, refinance, permanent debt, bridge loans, and construction across major CRE property types.

    Commercial Real Estate Loans and CRE Lending

    Commercial real estate financing can support the acquisition, refinance, construction, renovation, lease up, or stabilization of eligible business purpose property. A multifamily property, retail center, industrial building, office asset, hotel, mixed use project, and owner occupied business property each present different lender considerations. CapitalAx is a commercial loan broker, not a direct lender. We help borrowers organize the financing request and compare lending sources that may fit the property and business plan, while each lender makes its own credit and approval decision.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A CRE loan is financing for commercial real estate, such as multifamily, retail, office, industrial, hotel, mixed use, or owner occupied business property. It may support an acquisition, refinance, construction project, renovation, or another business purpose real estate transaction. The appropriate structure depends on the property, purpose, income, borrower, and lender.

    Common CRE financing structures include conventional commercial mortgages, permanent financing for stabilized property, bridge loans for transitional assets, construction financing for qualifying development, agency financing for eligible multifamily property, CMBS financing for eligible stabilized assets, and SBA financing for eligible owner occupied real estate. Each program has different underwriting requirements.

    A permanent CRE loan is generally long term financing for a stabilized commercial property. Lenders commonly review property income, occupancy, leases, operating expenses, debt service coverage, appraisal, borrower financials, and the requested loan structure. Available terms depend on the lender and transaction.

    A CRE loan may be used for an eligible commercial property acquisition or refinance. Lenders will review the property, requested proceeds, income or business occupancy, existing debt where applicable, borrower profile, and supporting due diligence. Approval and terms are lender dependent.

    Bridge financing may fit an eligible acquisition, renovation, lease up, or repositioning plan when permanent financing is not yet available. Construction financing may fit a qualifying ground up or major renovation project. Lenders review the plans, budget, equity, sponsor experience, timeline, market, and repayment or sale exit. Draws and future permanent financing are not automatic.

    CRE lenders typically review the property type and condition, income and expenses, rent roll and leases where applicable, market, appraisal, borrower financials, liquidity, experience, requested leverage, and repayment strategy. The details vary by property type and loan program.
