Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions

Established businesses with stabilized, income-producing commercial properties, solid DSCR, proven track record, and acceptable credit/liquidity typically qualify. We underwrite to asset performance and sponsor strength.

We fund loans in the range of $1M–$15M, leverage up to ~75% LTV, and 5–10 year terms (often with 20–30 year amortization). Rates are fixed for 5 years and reset after 5 years for longer loans.

A conventional term loan is funded entirely by the lender and follows that lender’s credit box—typically faster and more flexible, but it usually requires stronger credit metrics (more equity, tighter DSCR/LTV). An SBA loan (7(a) or 504) is partially guaranteed by the SBA, which adds program rules and paperwork but enables higher leverage and longer terms—especially for owner-occupied CRE under SBA 504.

Funds from AVANA’s Conventional term loans may be used for property acquisition, refinancing, partner buyouts, or property improvements (non-ground-up construction).

Plan for ~30–45 days from LOI to close, driven by diligence (appraisal, environmental), third-party timing, and the completeness of financials.

Recent rent roll and operating statements, trailing 12 financials, three years historicals, borrower/sponsor financials, organizational docs, and property due diligence (appraisal, environmental, insurance, title).
