These loans are funded by a diverse array of privately held companies, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals who seek acceptable risk-reward scenarios through short-term notes and safely collateralized positions.
Solutions Tailored for 'Hard to Place' loans

About Beyond the Banks
Beyond the Banks is a specialized commercial loan program, operating as a division of NextGen CRE Solutions, LLC. Portions of this Private Sector Lending program was designed for our Broker, Mike Ahmari, BluEleven, Capital Corp., a CA DRE licensed real estate brokerage based in Irvine, CA with Robert Robotti and Janice Jay Holland as BlueEleven agents for California lending only. Rick Smith, is a licensed Nevada and CA real estate broker (for his transactions only). Ashley Robotti also offers traditional commercial loans as a Director of CommLoan, a nationwide, tech based lending platform. Other parties are operating under a Business Development Agreement.
The primary advantage of Private Sector Lending extends beyond just the loan itself; it lies in enabling opportunities that would otherwise be unattainable for borrowers. When one can close a deal in two weeks instead of two months, acquire a property other investors can't finance, or complete crucial renovations without depleting capital, the slightly higher cost of capital becomes insignificant compared to the value created. Beyond the Banks specializes in delivering these precise solutions to maximize your success.
Equipment Financing:
Funding Your Operational Assets
Beyond commercial real estate, Private Sector Capital sources offer flexible financing for essential business equipment. These loans enable companies to acquire critical assets—from specialized machinery to advanced technology—without tying up working capital or waiting for lengthy traditional bank approvals. Here are some model cases:
$1 Million Equipment Loan
This loan model features a commercial kitchen build-out for a growing restaurant chain, covering industrial ovens, refrigeration, and bespoke cabinetry. Loan submission details include an established restaurant with strong financials, 3+ years operating history, and a minimum 650 credit score. Terms on a 24-month interest-only term can range from 8.5% to 11.5% interest, on the new equipment cost, depending on a wide variety of factors.
Beyond the Banks Loan Programs unlock access to Private Sector Lenders, providing tailored financing for critical equipment.
$6 Million Equipment Loan
This financing model features a heavy construction machinery package for a large-scale civil engineering project, including excavators, bulldozers, and specialized road-paving equipment. A reputable construction firm can meet due diligence requirements with verifiable project contracts, a robust balance sheet, and an established industry track record. Typical loan terms offer a 36-month term (12 months interest-only, then amortized) at 8.5% & up interest, on a 70% LTV on equipment, and potential for higher LTV on new purchases.
3 Case Study Models: Diverse Properties, Creative Solutions delivering results Beyond the Banks
California Self-Storage Expansion
Acquisition and expansion loan request to convert many existing units to climate controlled, increasing revenue and value.
Total Purchase Price = $4.8M.
Loan Request: $1.8M (62% LTV)
Buyer Equity: $1.6M
Traditional banks typically won't finance the expansion component. Our specialty lenders, however, understand the proforma projects 95% occupancy with premium rents on new units, significantly increasing property value and decreasing risk.
Miami Beach Redevelopment
Acquisition bridge loan for dated mixed-use property in Miami Beach for complete renovation, featuring 12 residential units and ground floor retain.
"As is" Purchase Price: $8M (at auction)
Loan Request: $5.2M (65% LTV)
Buyer Equity: $4.8M ($2M reserves)
Stabilized Value: $14M
Facing an auction, traditional financing will not be an option. Private sector capital can secure the bridge financing within 10-14 days, allowing the investor to purchase and immediately begin renovations. The 24-month bridge term will allow time for pre-leasing retail spaces and securing premium residential rental offers before refinancing the loan.
Austin Medical Office Building
Acquisition of a newly constructed medical office building in Austin, Texas, with a purchase price of $5M. The loan covers essential tenant improvement allowances, crucial for the two medical tenants ready to lease. The borrower will contribute $1.5M to close the purchase and $500K in reserves to be held by Lender for Tenant Improvements (37% of capital stack). Traditional banks would not typically provide sufficient financing for both acquisition and tenant improvements for unleased space. Our healthcare property loan specialist approves financing that includes TI reserves, and understands strong tenant credit profiles. The building's proforma anticipates 100% occupancy within four months, allowing the owner to refinance ahead of time.
Case Study 1: Phoenix Multifamily Renovation
The Challenge
In this model, an experienced investor identifies a 30-unit multifamily property in Phoenix, recognizing its tremendous upside potential.
  • Purchase price is $7M. Needs $1M for interior and exterior renovations.
  • Investor has $3M in equity
  • Local Bank offers $4M commitment as 1st Mortgage. Traditional lenders are unwilling to provide the $1M additional financing needed for the remodel.
Our Solution
Beyond the Banks can step in to secure a $1M second mortgage, crucial for funding and completing the renovation project. This is based on the assumption that, once stabilized post-renovation, the asset would command a pro forma value of $9M. The new combined loan amount of $5M against the stabilized value of $9M results in a favorable 55% cumulative loan-to-value (CLTV) for the bridge lender. We understand value add opportunities lie this and by leveraging the borrower's strong credit score (680+) and substantial net worth ($10M+), we recognize the borrower's capacity to refi at the stabilized value, allowing for the full repayment of the bridge loan within the two-year term.
