Because of increased regulations that have resulted in tighter lending standards, banks aren’t making a lot of smaller loans against properties that aren’t stabilized. This has created a sizeable gap in the market for “Micro balance” short-term bridge loans to operators borrowing $200,000 - $1,500,000 with value-add business plans, especially in secondary and tertiary markets. Brock Freeman, Managing Partner and COO of Kirkland Capital Group, provides loans to this segment of the market where there’s far less competition, and therefore better returns for investors.
