Buy your building

Buy your building

Why rent when you can own? Especially when it gives you location security and potential for long-term appreciation. We finance the down payment to purchase your building, allowing you to keep cash available for renovations, improvements, moving costs, or working capital.

Why it’s challenging

It may be hard to get 100% financing for your building. Working closely with senior lenders, we provide flexible and cost effective high ratio real estate financing.

Our approach

We help you leverage opportunities to grow by eliminating financial hurdles, providing flexibility and creating strong partnerships. We invest in your potential.
