Commercial Partners of Texas provides commercial loans nationwide for real estate investors, developers, business owners, and companies seeking financing for acquisitions, refinancing, construction, expansion, and other commercial financing needs.

Finding the right commercial loan can be challenging. Different properties, borrowers, projects, and investment strategies require different financing structures. A bank loan may work well for a stabilized property, while a bridge loan, construction loan, CMBS loan, SBA loan, or private-money loan may be more appropriate for another transaction.

At Commercial Partners of Texas, we help borrowers identify and structure commercial financing solutions based on the property, transaction, cash flow, credit profile, collateral, leverage requirements, and overall financing objectives.

We work with a broad network of traditional and non-bank lenders to help clients access commercial financing throughout the United States.

Commercial Real Estate Loans Nationwide

Commercial real estate financing is one of our core areas of expertise.

We provide financing solutions for investors and businesses purchasing, refinancing, developing, or improving commercial properties.

Our commercial real estate financing can be used for properties such as:

Multifamily Properties

Financing for apartment buildings, multifamily properties, and rental housing assets.

Retail Properties

Loans for shopping centers, retail buildings, strip centers, neighborhood centers, and other retail properties.

Office Buildings

Financing for office buildings, professional offices, medical offices, and owner-occupied commercial properties.

Industrial Properties

Financing for warehouses, distribution facilities, manufacturing properties, flex space, and industrial buildings.

Hotels and Hospitality

Financing options for hotels, motels, hospitality properties, and other lodging-related assets.

Mixed-Use Properties

Financing for properties combining residential, retail, office, or other commercial uses.

Medical Properties

Commercial financing for medical offices, healthcare facilities, and related properties.

Land and Development

Financing for commercial land acquisitions, development projects, and ground-up construction, subject to lender and project requirements.

Commercial Partners of Texas currently advertises commercial real estate financing for numerous property types and nationwide transactions.

Commercial Mortgage Loans

A commercial mortgage is typically used to purchase or refinance income-producing commercial property.

Depending on the transaction, borrowers may seek:

  • Purchase financing

  • Rate-and-term refinancing

  • Cash-out refinancing

  • Permanent financing

  • Short-term financing

  • Fixed-rate financing

  • Floating-rate financing

  • Recourse financing

  • Non-recourse financing

  • Interest-only financing

Commercial mortgage underwriting can consider the property's cash flow, debt-service coverage, occupancy, tenant leases, property value, borrower experience, liquidity, credit, and other factors.

Commercial Partners of Texas works with multiple lender categories rather than relying on a single lending source, allowing financing strategies to be evaluated across different types of lenders.

Commercial Bridge Loans

A commercial bridge loan provides short-term financing when a property or project does not yet qualify for traditional permanent financing.

Bridge financing may be useful for:

  • Property acquisitions

  • Value-add properties

  • Property renovations

  • Lease-up situations

  • Transitional properties

  • Repositioning projects

  • Time-sensitive acquisitions

  • Construction-to-permanent strategies

  • Refinancing maturing debt

Bridge loans can provide capital while a property is being stabilized, renovated, leased, or repositioned. Federal banking guidance describes bridge financing as short-term financing that can help commercial properties reach stabilization before permanent financing or another exit.

Commercial Construction Loans

Commercial construction financing can help fund ground-up development, expansion, renovation, and major improvements.

Construction financing may be available for:

  • Multifamily developments

  • Retail centers

  • Industrial buildings

  • Office buildings

  • Hotels

  • Medical facilities

  • Mixed-use developments

  • Commercial land development

  • Other eligible commercial projects

Construction loans generally require detailed project information, including construction budgets, plans and specifications, appraisal or valuation information, borrower experience, sources and uses, projected income, and an appropriate exit strategy.

CMBS Loans

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) loans are an important source of financing for qualifying commercial properties.

CMBS financing may be considered for stabilized properties with established cash flow, including certain:

  • Retail properties

  • Office buildings

  • Industrial properties

  • Multifamily properties

  • Hospitality properties

  • Mixed-use properties

CMBS financing can offer longer-term commercial financing structures and may provide an alternative to traditional bank financing depending on the property and borrower.

SBA Commercial Loans

Small business owners may also qualify for SBA financing when the business and transaction meet applicable program requirements.

SBA 7(a) Loans

SBA 7(a) financing can be used for qualifying business purposes, which may include real estate, business acquisitions, equipment, working capital, and other eligible uses.

SBA 504 Loans

The SBA 504 program provides long-term, fixed-rate financing for major fixed assets and can be used for qualifying purchases, construction, or improvements. SBA states that 504 financing is available through Certified Development Companies and is intended for eligible operating businesses.

SBA eligibility and loan limits depend on the specific program, borrower, property, and intended use of proceeds.

Private Money and Hard Money Commercial Loans

Traditional lenders are not the right fit for every transaction.

Private-money and hard-money financing can provide an alternative for certain commercial transactions where speed, collateral, property value, or a nontraditional situation is important.

These loans may be considered for:

  • Distressed properties

  • Vacant properties

  • Value-add projects

  • Short-term acquisitions

  • Fix-and-flip projects

  • Construction

  • Bridge financing

  • Borrowers requiring flexible underwriting

  • Time-sensitive transactions

Private financing generally comes with different pricing and terms than conventional bank financing, so borrowers should evaluate the complete cost of capital and repayment strategy.

DSCR Commercial and Investment Property Loans

Debt Service Coverage Ratio, or DSCR, is an important metric used by commercial lenders to evaluate whether property income can support debt payments.

DSCR-based financing can be particularly relevant to investors purchasing or refinancing income-producing properties.

Lenders may evaluate:

  • Property income

  • Operating expenses

  • Net operating income

  • Proposed debt service

  • Loan-to-value ratio

  • Property type

  • Borrower experience

  • Credit profile

  • Liquidity

  • Lease structure

The specific DSCR requirement varies by lender and loan program.

Commercial Property Refinancing

Commercial Partners of Texas also helps property owners explore refinancing options.

Commercial refinancing may be used to:

  • Replace an existing loan

  • Lower or restructure debt payments

  • Obtain a different loan term

  • Access property equity

  • Fund renovations

  • Consolidate eligible debt

  • Reposition a property

  • Transition from bridge financing to permanent financing

A refinancing strategy should consider not only the interest rate but also closing costs, prepayment penalties, loan term, amortization, recourse, debt-service requirements, and the borrower's long-term objectives.

Cash-Out Commercial Real Estate Loans

Property owners with sufficient equity may be able to use commercial real estate financing to access capital from an existing property.

Cash-out proceeds may potentially be used for eligible purposes such as:

  • Acquiring additional properties

  • Renovations

  • Business expansion

  • Working capital

  • Debt restructuring

  • Property improvements

  • Investment opportunities

Availability depends on lender guidelines, property value, existing debt, cash flow, and other underwriting requirements.

Commercial Loans for Investors and Developers

Real estate investors and developers often require financing that changes throughout the life of a project.

For example, an investor may need:

Acquisition Loan → Bridge Financing → Construction or Renovation Financing → Stabilization → Permanent Financing

Commercial Partners of Texas can help evaluate financing options for different stages of a commercial real estate transaction.

Our goal is to match the financing structure with the transaction rather than attempting to use the same loan program for every borrower.

Whether you are purchasing a commercial property in Texas, refinancing an apartment building in Florida, developing an industrial project in Georgia, or seeking financing for another commercial property elsewhere in the United States, we can evaluate potential financing options.
