Participating Bridge Loan Program

Program Description

Higher-leverage, fixed-rate bridge lending program for commercial real estate assets that have a substantial value-creation component. The loan includes a larger equity component in exchange for a percentage of the value creation realized in the project at sale or refinance.

Why consider this program?
  • You’re seeking short-term funding to build, rehabilitate, reposition or stabilize an asset
  • You need financing with an equity component provided by the lender
  • You need flexible, non-permanent capital to build or implement a conversion, expansion or renovation on a core commercial real estate asset
Why choose Red Oak?
Red Oak will take on a substantial amount of the project risk, while your loan is fully, or almost fully, financed in exchange for a participation in the property’s upside.
