South Florida’s Top Business Podcast

Private commercial lending taking center stage in mortgage showcase

SHARE

We spent a good deal of time on this most recent episode of Fried On Business talking about money.

You know, money – the stuff without which it’s difficult to do much of anything.

Money is my stock in trade now that I’ve become affiliated with the good folks at Spectrum Mortgage. We focus on private lending and institutional financing for all kinds of projects and situations.

And, lately, we’ve been noticing a palpable change in the mortgage markets. Much less capital is emanating from the traditional channels – that is, the banks. More is coming from alternative sources like private lenders.

We at Spectrum Mortgage represent a number of high net-worth families in town. They use us to help them find good investment opportunities and put their money to work in solid loans. We also work with a select group of banks.

So, we can be creative, even on the commercial side. Office, retail, multi-family residential. New construction, redevelopment, acquisition, bridge. We can get it done, and for terms that might surprise you.

You see, we’re private lenders – not hard money lenders. We’re operating in the range of 7.75% to 12% on most transactions, with deal sizes from $100,000 to $15 million – and sometimes more.

And we do get calls from folks who want to participate with us in these loans. We’re happy to talk.

We work with just about anyone in a special situation. Often, we can close in a few days, and sometimes we can give a commitment the same day.

Give me a call today at 305-773-6300, and click here to listen to my full discussion on today’s private commercial lending environment. NMLS #342779.

Fried On Business: UF Real Estate Update
Episode 758 | 03.06.24 

UF Real Estate Update

Jim attended the Annual UF Trends and Strategies Conference last week

He will tell you what he learned at the conference and he will speak with one of the Program's students:

Emme Benoit about why she choose the UF MSRE program and what she is learning.

*************************************

About Our Guests:

Emme Gisele-Louise Benoit 

Emme graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Supply Chain Management, but deep down, always knew real estate was the path she was meant to take. So, she followed her heart and pursued that passion. Now, she is a Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) student at the University of Florida, a journey that was largely inspired by her father's successful career as a commercial real estate developer.
 Emme’s fascination with real estate isn't just about the industry itself; it's about the impact it has on communities and landscapes. She loves seeing how built spaces come to life, transforming areas and changing the skyline. It's about bringing a vision to reality and witnessing the profound changes that follow. This passion drives her every day and fuels her dedication to the field.
      Currently, she serve as the Co-President of the UF Women's Real Estate Society and as an MSRE ambassador. These roles have given her the incredible opportunity to lead, inspire, and connect with like-minded individuals who are as passionate about real estate as she is. Through these positions, she aims to empower women in the industry, foster a supportive community, and advocate for sustainable and innovative practices in real estate. 
      Emme’s journey in real estate is a testament to following one's passion and making a tangible impact on the world. She is committed to learning, growing, and contributing to the industry in meaningful ways, and she is excited to see where this path will take her.
