Senior Debt Program
Sundance Bay’s Senior Debt Strategy provides private financing, construction, and bridge loans to experienced real estate developers and operators. Our investment strategy is predicated on:
- Limited Credit Availability: Conventional lending sources remain under fiscal and regulatory pressure.
- Less Competition and Regulation: Traditional bridge/hard money lenders are localized, unstructured, and carry exorbitant pricing and terms; few institutional bridge/private lending opportunities exist.
- Manageable Default Risk: Implied default rates are mitigated with significant protective equity, property cash flows and adherence to strict underwriting.
Due Diligence
We utilize a robust due diligence process to verify that the assets we lend against meet our lending parameters. By partnering with third parties to provide independent market, legal, and title work, we can expedite the approval process with confidence that the proper care and rigor has been applied to each respective lending opportunity.
Our Due Diligence Process
Our team strives to complete due diligence within 1-4 weeks of receiving the loan application so we fund projects in a timely manner.
