Direct commercial & investment real estate financing

Financing from $200K to $20M — funded directly, not shopped to a bank.

In-house underwriting and direct capital across DSCR, bridge, SBA, and construction — so a deal that doesn't fit a bank's box still gets funded.

How it works

Funded directly. No committee, no re-trading.

One team carries your deal from submission to funding — underwritten and closed with our own capital.

01

Submit your deal

Tell us the property and the ask. No packaging or pre-formatted loan file required.

02

In-house underwriting

Our own team sizes it against our own credit box — not a guess at what a bank committee might approve.

03

Direct funding

We fund it ourselves. No shopping the deal to outside banks, no re-trading terms after the fact.

04

Close on your timeline

45 days on average — sometimes faster when the deal is clean and documentation is ready.

What They're Saying

Trusted by Brokers & Borrowers

From complex SBA closings to DSCR investment loans, our partners rely on Cressida Direct to get deals done.

“Cressida Direct closed a $6.4M SBA 504 loan for one of my clients when other lenders couldn't make the numbers work. They know the SBA program inside and out, communicated throughout the entire process, and delivered exactly what they promised. They're my first call on any commercial deal.”
Jon J.
Mortgage Broker
“I had a mixed-use investor who needed a $1M DSCR loan and Cressida Direct got it done. No personal income verification, no tax returns — just a clean close based on the property's cash flow. My client was thrilled and I've already sent them two more deals since.”
Jasmine T.
Commercial Broker
“Cressida Direct structured a $3.2M SBA 504 cash-out refinance that pulled working capital out of my commercial property, plus a $3M line of credit on top of that. I didn't think both were possible in one transaction. Their team made it happen and the execution was flawless.”
Andre G.

How do mortgage brokers partner with Cressida Direct?

What is DSCR and how does it work for investment loans?
DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) measures whether a property's rental income covers its mortgage payment. A DSCR of 1.0 means the rent exactly covers the debt service. Cressida Direct accepts DSCR ratios as low as 1.0 for investment properties.
