Without a doubt, today's financing market is extremely challenging and even the most seasoned developers and property owners need to strategize carefully before presenting a new loan request to the commercial real estate financing marketplace. Leverage is down, and Lender scrutiny has been ratcheted way up. Your value proposition and business plan need to be very well thought out and presented as effectively as possible to the right audience. The margin of error is almost non-existent and there is no room for amateurs because there are fewer active lenders in the marketplace and those still interested in lending are less aggressive. More than ever it makes sense to work with a firm like First Guardian Group that is always in the marketplace – always in the center of action. First Guardian Group can be your advocate and advisor, and help to strengthen and optimize your strategy, your business plan, and your presentation before beginning to approach any lenders on your behalf.

Even in the midst of the current market turmoil, construction and other commercial real estate financing is obtainable for worthwhile projects at very attractive rates. Now more than anytime in recent memory, it pays to be very well prepared with a clearly conceived plan of attack before approaching lenders.
