Strategic Commercial Lending for Business Owners and Real Estate Investors

​Led by Teneisha Crane-Street, Commercial Loan Officer, powered by NEXA Mortgage.
I provide tailored financing solutions built around cash flow, structure, and long-term goals — not one-size-fits-all loans.

Client Focus

This work is centered on business owners, investors, and professionals who need flexible, well-structured commercial financing — especially when traditional lending paths don’t align with the reality of the deal.

​

Client scenarios often include:

​

  • Real estate investors acquiring, refinancing, or repositioning income-producing assets

  • Business owners seeking growth capital, working capital, or liquidity tied to real estate or operations

  • Self-employed professionals and entrepreneurs with layered or non-traditional income

  • Entity-based borrowers structuring financing across multiple properties or operating companies

  • Clients utilizing hybrid loan structures that blend business purpose, real estate, and cash-flow considerations

  • Investors and operators navigating expansion, consolidation, or strategic restructuring

​

The common thread isn’t size or asset class — it’s the need for clear thinking, disciplined structuring, and financing aligned with how the business actually functions.

Services & Capabilities

Commercial financing is approached with a focus on growth, investment, and long-term financial strategy. The emphasis is on structuring and placing financing that aligns with cash flow, deal fundamentals, and borrower goals — rather than forcing transactions into one-size-fits-all solutions.

​

Financing scenarios commonly include:

​

Commercial Lending

​

  • Commercial real estate financing for income-producing properties, including acquisition and refinance strategies

  • DSCR-based investment financing structured around property performance rather than personal income

  • Business-purpose loans and commercial lines of credit supporting expansion, operations, and working capital needs

  • Construction and development financing for commercial and mixed-use projects

  • SBA business real estate financing for owner-occupied properties and long-term business growth

 

Residential & Alternative Financing

​

  • Bank statement mortgage options for self-employed borrowers

  • Investment property financing across a range of property types

  • Home equity loans and lines of credit (HELOC / HELOAN)

  • Non-traditional documentation (Non-QM) financing for complex income profiles

 

Rather than pushing transactions through a system, each engagement is approached with a thoughtful, strategic mindset — matching the right deal with the appropriate lender, structure, and execution path.

How This Approach Is Different

Commercial financing is approached with a focus on preparation, structure, and alignment — ensuring each opportunity is positioned clearly and thoughtfully based on its specific circumstances.

​

Rather than treating financing as a race or a template-driven process, each scenario is evaluated on its own merits, allowing decisions to reflect both immediate objectives and long-term sustainability.

​

What sets this approach apart:

​

Strategy Before Submission

Financing scenarios are reviewed through the lens of deal structure, cash flow, and stated objectives before engaging lenders — helping ensure submissions are clear, complete, and positioned appropriately.

​

Cash-Flow–Informed Decisions

Financing recommendations are grounded in actual performance and sustainability, not assumptions or surface-level metrics.

​

Intentional Lender Matching

Lenders are selected based on alignment with the deal profile and financing goals, recognizing that requirements, timelines, and execution vary by product and institution.

​

Clarity Throughout the Process

Decisions are supported by context and explanation, so borrowers understand the reasoning behind recommendations and next steps.

 

The emphasis remains on helping clients make informed financing decisions that support durable growth, rather than simply reaching an approval.

The Process

The financing process is designed to be straightforward and intentional, so expectations are clear and decisions feel grounded at every stage.

​

1. Initial Conversation

Each engagement begins with a focused discussion to understand goals, deal details, and the broader financial picture. This step helps determine fit, scope, and direction before moving forward.

​

2. Deal Review & Structuring

Numbers, structure, and strategy are reviewed to ensure the financing approach aligns with cash flow, lender expectations, and long-term objectives. This is where clarity replaces guesswork.

​

3. Lender Matching & Execution

Once aligned, the opportunity is matched with appropriate lending partners and guided through submission, review, and next steps—recognizing that timelines and requirements vary by lender and loan type.

​

The emphasis throughout the process is clarity—so financing decisions are informed, intentional, and aligned with real-world outcomes.

Start a Financing Conversation

If you’re exploring financing and want a clear, well-structured approach, this is the place to start.

​

Every conversation begins with understanding the full picture — your goals, the numbers, and the opportunity in front of you — so next steps are thoughtful, realistic, and aligned with what you’re trying to accomplish.

 

When you’re ready, the next step is simple.
