What we finance

One desk for the whole capital stack.

From senior debt to the gap, we place the right capital for the asset and the business plan — not whatever happens to be on one lender's menu.

Multifamily & Agency

Fannie, Freddie, FHA, and bank execution for stabilized and value-add apartments — fixed and floating, full- and interest-only.

Bridge & Transitional

Speed for lease-up, repositioning, and time-sensitive acquisitions, with a clean path to permanent take-out.

Construction & Development

Ground-up and heavy value-add — senior construction, C-PACE, and stretch senior structured to the project.

Acquisition & Refinance

Purchase, rate-and-term, and cash-out execution for stabilized commercial assets — fixed or floating, recourse or non-recourse.

Permanent · Life Co · CMBS

Long-term, non-recourse debt for stabilized assets across life companies, CMBS, and balance-sheet lenders.

Mezzanine & Preferred

Gap capital that completes the stack — subordinate debt and preferred equity sized to your returns.

How a deal moves

A processed file beats a phone call.

We do the underwriting up front so lenders compete on a clean credit story — which is how you get real terms, faster, and a close that holds.

01

Scenario & terms

Send the deal. We model the sources and uses, size the debt, and come back with realistic terms — not a teaser rate.

02

Underwrite the file

We build a lender-ready file: rent roll, T-12, sponsor package, and the story that gets a credit committee to yes.

03

Shop the capital markets

Your file goes to the right desks — priced against live rate sheets, with every quote tied back to its source.

04

Term sheet to close

We negotiate, manage diligence and conditions to clear-to-close, and keep every party moving to the wire.

Why Strait Lending

Advisory that earns the term sheet.

We're a debt and capital-markets advisory built around one idea: a borrower is best served when their file is underwritten before it's shopped, and priced on evidence, not optimism.

Start a scenario

Priced on real sheets

Every quote we hand you is backed by a current lender rate sheet — you see the source, not a guess.

Structured, not shopped blind

We underwrite the file before it leaves the building, so lenders see a credit story instead of a data dump.

Built for speed

A processed file and the right relationships mean term sheets in days, and a close that holds its date.

An institutional network

Agency, bank, debt fund, life co, and private capital — relationships maintained, not cold-called.
