Commercial Lending

Commercial Loans in Montana

Flexible financing for commercial and mixed-use properties. $100K to $5M with local underwriting and fast decisions.

Overview

Commercial Real Estate Financing

Montana's commercial real estate market is defined by a funding gap. Deals between $200K and $1M are often too small for institutional lenders and too complex for community banks with limited risk appetite. Renegade Capital exists specifically to fill this gap with fast, flexible commercial financing backed by real property.

Whether you are acquiring a downtown office building, refinancing a retail center, purchasing a multi-family apartment complex, or financing a mixed-use development, we structure loans around the fundamentals of the deal — property value, cash flow, and your business plan.

As a Montana-based private lender, our underwriting team is in Helena and we make decisions locally. There is no out-of-state committee and no algorithmic black box. We evaluate each deal on its merits and move quickly when the numbers work.

Common Questions

Commercial Loan FAQ

What types of commercial properties does Renegade Capital finance?

We finance a wide range of commercial property types including office buildings, retail centers, mixed-use buildings, multi-family apartments (5+ units), industrial and warehouse properties, hospitality assets, and special-purpose buildings. The property must be located in Montana and the loan must be for a business purpose.

How are commercial loan rates determined?

Rates are based on multiple factors including loan-to-value ratio, property type and condition, borrower experience and financial strength, lease quality and occupancy, and the overall risk profile of the deal. Our rates typically range from 9% to 13% calculated on an Actual/360 day count basis. Contact us for a rate quote specific to your deal.

Do you require personal guarantees on commercial loans?

Most commercial loans include a personal guarantee from the principal borrowers. In some cases, we can structure limited or partial guarantees for experienced borrowers with strong collateral positions. Guarantee structure is negotiated during underwriting based on the risk profile of the deal.

What documentation is required for a commercial loan application?

We typically require a property description and photos, purchase agreement or ownership documentation, rent roll and lease copies (for income-producing properties), trailing 12-month operating statements, borrower financial statement and entity documentation, and a brief business plan or use of proceeds. Our underwriting is asset-focused, so we prioritize property fundamentals over extensive borrower documentation.

Can I use a commercial loan to refinance an existing property?

Yes. We provide refinance financing for commercial properties including rate-and-term refinances and cash-out refinances. Cash-out proceeds can be used for property improvements, portfolio expansion, debt consolidation, or working capital. Maximum cash-out LTV is typically 65%.
