The partners at Bison Financial Group have more than 38 years
of combined commercial real estate experience and a track
record of closing over a billion dollars in transactions
since Bison was formed in 1994. We arrange capital for real
estate entrepreneurs throughout the lifecycle of their real
estate investments from land acquisition to construction and
eventual permanent financing. We place all levels of the capital
structure including: gap equity, mezzanine and senior debt.
We arrange capital from an
international network of capital providers such as:
I. Private Short Term
Funds: We are a correspondent to a private short term
real estate lender and investment company specializing in
creative financing solutions. The Company provides creative
capital to investors and developers that need a non-bank solution
to take advantage of an exceptional acquisition opportunity,
buy out a partner or buy bank debt at a significant discount.
Investment can be structured in the form of senior debt, mezzanine
debt or participating preferred equity. Investor has the ability
to close much faster than an institutional source of capital.
Loan amounts from $1-10 million considered.
II. Portfolio Lenders:
Lenders that originate and retain loans in their own portfolio.
This type of lender creates "the box" and does not have to
live within the boundaries of the rating agencies. We have
relationships with the leaders and decision makers of over
50 lenders of various sizes and temperaments including: private
investors, hedge funds, banks, insurance companies and pension
plans. Loan amounts from $2-250 million considered.
III. Capital Markets &
Agency Lenders: Bison has relationships with several Agency
Lenders (FHA, Fannie & Freddie) as well as Wall Street Conduit
lenders that each specialize in slightly different niches.
This is often the lowest cost alternative for fixed rate,
long term, non-recourse financing. The downside includes:
prepayment penalties, cookie cutter loan documents, strict
underwriting rules and loan guidelines. Loan amounts from
$3 million.
You find the opportunities….
We will bring the capital.
