When you find the right property before selling your current one and need capital to secure it.
When a deal must close on a timeline that doesn't align with permanent lender underwriting.
When a property needs value-add work before it can qualify for permanent financing at target terms.
When a business needs short-term capital to bridge predictable cash-flow timing differences.
When a sponsor or fund needs interim capital between capital calls, distributions, or fund closes.
When speed of execution is essential and traditional bank timelines cannot meet the closing window.
