Commercial Mortgages Made Easy

Investors, business and property owners everywhere can now finance multi-family and commercial properties with ease!  Regardless of the property type, loan-to-value or cash-out requirements, LandRock Funding is your trusted and reliable source for commercial real estate financing. 
 
Commercial Real Estate is the most vital aspect of the US economy today.  Due to the slow down in the residential real estate market, we are seeing an increase in rental and lease income for multi-family and mixed use properties.  Many investors are trying to seize the opportunity to refinance or invest in commercial real estate because of this increased cash flow, appreciation and tax advantages. 
 
However, all the "red tape" involved with obtaining financing through traditional lending sources pose overwhelming challenges for borrowers.  Many of whom have seen their loan requests turned down by traditional lenders because of the following: 
 
  • Unacceptable Property Types
  • Difficulty Providing Documentation (i.e. Self-employed Borrowers)
  • Significant Cash-out Requirements
  • High Loan-to-Values (LTV)
  • Low Loan Amounts
LandRock Funding is able to resolve these problems and give borrowers quicker access to the funding they need.  As a result of our streamlined underwriting process, we are able to offer more flexible loan terms (ex. interest only; 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 year fixed terms with 30 year amortization) and closings within 30-45 days.  Compare that to your local bank or S&L institution that takes up 90 to 120 days to close.  
 
What makes LandRock stand out amongst the crowd?  Simply put, commercial real estate financing is all we do! Our knowledge, experience and volume of transactions make us experts at commercial mortgage originations; which results in better quality products and service for our clients.
