Opportunistic 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 small equity component in the form of a higher LTC in exchange for a higher interest rate and exit fees.

Why consider us This Program?
  • You’re seeking short-term funding to rehabilitate, reposition or stabilize an asset

  • You need financing with an equity component provided by the lender

  • You need flexible, non-permanent capital to implement a conversion, expansion or renovation of a core commercial real estate asset

Why choose Red Oak?

Red Oak can, depending on the upside potential, provide a higher LTC (providing equity the borrower does not have to raise) than many other small-balance bridge lenders in the market.
