Finance

Regional banks, credit unions, and portfolio lenders that close commercial real estate loans between $500k and $10M. These are the lenders who will actually look at a 40-space park or a 30-unit building, not the national names whose minimums start where this audience stops. Filter by lender type, loan size, recourse, and whether they do cash-out refinances.

Lenders that finance mobile home parks, RV parks, and campgrounds as a stated line of business. Most banks will not touch a park; these will, and they know how to underwrite lot rent, park-owned homes, and seasonal campground income. Filter by loan size, recourse, and whether they also lend on the homes themselves.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac small-balance loan originators for multifamily and manufactured housing communities.

HUD-approved lenders for 223(f) and related multifamily programs. HUD does finance manufactured housing communities; almost nobody knows.

USDA Business & Industry guaranteed lenders. Rural campgrounds, parks, and storage qualify. Real, obscure, high value.

Lenders with a stated self-storage program, from stabilized acquisitions to lease-up.

Life insurance company and CMBS lenders for stabilized assets of $3M and up. The upper end of this audience.

Lenders that finance the homes, not the land: 21st Mortgage, Triad, PEP, Cascade, and their peers, including community-owner programs.

Commercial bridge and hard money lenders for turnarounds and quick closes. Commercial only; residential flip money is excluded.

Construction and expansion lenders for storage development, campground build-outs, and park expansions.

SBA 504 and 7(a) lenders for owner-operated storage, campgrounds, and small commercial.

Platforms that match a loan request to many lenders at once: Janover, StackSource, and similar tech-broker hybrids.

The buyer-side view of seller carry: an attorney to paper the note and a servicer to collect it.

Qualified intermediaries who hold exchange proceeds and paper a 1031 exchange. The QI is unregulated in most states and holds your entire sale proceeds, so how they secure funds matters more than their fee. Filter by exchange type (forward, reverse, improvement), how funds are protected, and fee range.
