Private Lender
Non-bank entities including family offices, high-net-worth individuals, and private credit funds that provide commercial real estate financing outside the traditional banking system. Private lenders offer speed, flexibility, and the ability to finance deals that don't fit conventional lending criteria, often at premium rates.

Debt Fund
Private investment funds that originate commercial real estate loans, typically focusing on bridge, mezzanine, or higher-risk transactions that traditional lenders avoid. Debt funds offer flexible terms, quick execution, and higher leverage but at higher interest rates. They are valuable for transitional assets, value-add strategies, and complex capital structures.
Bridge Loan
Short-term financing (typically 1-3 years) used to "bridge" the gap between acquisition/repositioning and permanent financing. Bridge loans are ideal for value-add strategies, lease-up, renovation, or properties that don't qualify for traditional permanent financing. They feature higher rates and more flexible terms than permanent loans.
