Common Questions About Funding Options
What types of funding situations do you help with?

Can you help with commercial development and project financing?
Yes. We work with sponsors and developers on ground-up development, redevelopment, major renovations, construction, and other project-based financing needs. We help evaluate the structure, positioning, and lender options that fit the opportunity.
Can you help finance commercial real estate acquisitions and refinances?
Yes. We work with commercial property acquisitions, refinances, bridge and transitional situations, multifamily, and other investment real estate opportunities. The financing approach depends on the property, borrower, business plan, and timing.
How does contractor project financing work?
We help contractors and their clients explore financing for commercial repairs, renovations, build-outs, and improvement projects. The goal is to address a funding constraint that might otherwise delay or prevent a project from moving forward.
Do you work with traditional banks as well as private lenders?
Yes. Our relationships include traditional and regional banks, credit unions, life companies, specialty lenders, and private capital. We evaluate the available paths based on the opportunity rather than starting with a predetermined type of lender.
How do you determine which lenders to approach?
We start with the borrower, project, financing structure, timing, collateral, and overall objectives. From there, we identify viable financing paths and approach lenders that are a strong fit for the opportunity and capable of executing.
Do you also provide business financing?
Yes. We work with business owners on financing needs including business acquisitions, owner-occupied real estate, expansion, equipment, working capital, and other growth-related needs.
Do you still offer DSCR, bridge, and fix-and-flip financing?
Yes. We continue to work with real estate investors on DSCR rental property loans, bridge financing, fix-and-flip projects, and other investment property financing needs.
Does Cascade Star Solutions lend directly?
No. Cascade Star Solutions works as a lending advisor to the borrower, helping evaluate financing options, structure the opportunity, and connect clients with appropriate lending and capital sources.
Do you work nationwide?
Yes. Cascade Star Solutions works with borrowers and financing opportunities nationwide through our network of lending partners and capital sources.
What information should I prepare before starting a conversation?
Start with the basics: what you are financing, the amount needed, the project or acquisition timeline, and any available financial or property information. We can then identify what additional information lenders are likely to need.
We understand that funding decisions often come with questions. Here are a few topics we commonly discuss with business owners, investors, and project sponsors.
