Note Financing Benefits for You

  • Revolving lines of credit tailored to quick-close private loan origination, secured by underlying collateral loans2 to deliver higher investor returns
  • Lines of credit from $20 million, with credit facilities secured by loan portfolios for a variety of asset classes (SFR, multi-family, industrial, office and retail)
  • Committed credit facilities that can eliminate asset revaluations, a significant differentiator for Western Alliance Bank
  • Same-day funding and an efficient collateral pledge process that enables private lenders to move faster than competitors to fund new opportunities

Single Note-on-Note Financing

Single note-on-note financing is an appealing alternative for private commercial real estate lenders with larger projects (typically over $20 million). Although single note-on-note financing entails leveraging and underwriting individual loans, the Note Finance Group approaches each transaction with a focus on maintaining a programmatic relationship with our counterparty.

Clients choose to work with Western Alliance’s well-established, specialized Note Finance team because they want a trusted partner who understands their business and has the industry expertise they deserve.

Single Note-on-Note Financing Benefits for You

  • Leverage available on bridge and construction loans, with the ability to table fund
  • Consideration of all property types, with a wide array of acceptable underlying asset classes (multifamily, industrial, office, retail, student housing, single-family rental/condominiums, self-storage, industrial outdoor storage, credit tenant lease, etc.)
  • Relationship-focused team with years of note finance experience
