At BLC, we know commercial real estate lending inside and out, and as a private discretionary direct lender, there is no middleman, you are dealing directly with the source. Our no-nonsense approach to lending allows us to approve and close loans to credit worthy applicants that would otherwise be denied by banks due to overly restrictive lending practices, borrower industry, geography or property type. BLC specializes in Owner-Occupied Properties, Special-Purpose Properties and Transitional Properties. We also pride ourselves in our commitment to making loans that set borrowers up for success. For example when we look at a bridge loan request, we look at how the borrower will be able refinance or pay-off the loan at the end of the term, and often, we provide an offer based on certain milestones that need to be reached for a successful refinance of our loan. We also pride ourselves in our industry leading approach to lending with no application or due diligence fees, and in fact, we don’t even ask for a commitment fee.
