Small Balance Non-Recourse Commercial Loans

Liquidity has Returned to Capital Markets

The commercial real estate capital markets have recovered from the dark days of the global financial crisis bringing liquidity to Main Street, USA. Large balance loans delivering $25+ million to institutional and well-heeled private investors were the first market to recover.

Over the last 12 months the small balance market serving-up loans from $1 to $10 million has exploded flooding the market with liquidity.

While the borrowing rules are different from the go-go days of 2005-2006 capital has returned to Main Street!
