OWNER-OCCUPIED PROFILE

Owner‑Operator Entrepreneur

You own and operate a business and want the stability of owning your building—without getting boxed in by rigid bank underwriting.

Best fit for: owner-occupied purchase • cash-out for growth • partner buyouts

What you’re optimizing for

  • Predictable payments
  • Ability to grow the business without moving
  • Common-sense analysis of income and write-offs
  • Fast close when a location matters

Where traditional financing breaks down

  • Write-offs reduce taxable income and bank “qualifying” income
  • Complex entity structures and distributions
  • Banks require pristine, standardized statements
  • Slow approvals that jeopardize leases or purchase contracts

Property types we often see

  • Office buildings
  • Medical office (owner practice)
  • Warehouse / distribution
  • Flex industrial

Typical loan use cases

  • Purchase an owner-occupied building
  • Cash-out refinance for expansion
  • Buy out a partner or restructure ownership

Recommended loan products

Recommended loan products for this borrower profile:

  • Owner‑Occupied Commercial Mortgage — Longer-term stability with underwriting that reflects real operating cash flow—not just tax-return optics.
  • Owner‑Occupied Cash‑Out Refinance — Access equity to expand operations, hire, or invest in equipment while keeping the property in place.
  • Bridge to Owner‑Occupied Term Loan — Close fast when timing matters, then transition to longer-term debt once documentation is complete.
