    What this means for investors

    If the property clearly fits

    The next step is deal submission. We can move quickly to review the opportunity.

    If the property is borderline

    Review the criteria and compare to the box, or submit the details you have for a fast review.

    If the deal is clearly outside the box

    It is better to know early so you can find a capital partner that specializes in your asset class.

    Common reasons a deal may not fit

    Borrower plans to occupy the property

    We are strictly a commercial-purpose lender for non-owner-occupied investment properties.

    Property is outside Florida

    Our lending operations and market expertise are entirely focused on the state of Florida.

    Asset type is outside the 1–4 unit residential box

    We do not fund retail, office, industrial, land, or large multifamily properties (5+ units).

    Project strategy is unclear

    We need to understand the acquisition plan, scope of work, and intended exit strategy.

    The deal does not align with our loan programs

    If the project isn't a fix & flip, bridge acquisition, or transitional rental deal, it requires a different capital partner.

    Not sure if your deal fits?

    1

    Review the criteria

    Confirm that the property and project fall inside the Florida residential investor box.

    2

    Compare the deal to the fit examples

    Use the examples on this page to evaluate whether the project matches a common lending use case.

    3

    Submit the deal for review

    If the deal appears to fit, submit it and we'll review fit and next steps.

    Why clear criteria matter to serious investors

    We don't want to waste your time reviewing deals we know we won't fund.

    Faster yes/no clarity
    Stronger lender fit
    More realistic expectations
    Less wasted time
    Better alignment between investor and lender
