Closed: First Mortgage on Retail – Chicago, IL
Chicago Retail Mortgage Loan: Gelt Financial has provided a First Mortgage loan on a 15,000 SF former Aldi Supermarket in Chicago, IL
This loan was brought to Gelt by a mortgage broker who needed a two week closing. The borrower is rapidly growing his business and was in need of a quick, capital provider due to problems with their original lender. Gelt’s loan will provide acquisition financing as well as renovation dollars to bridge the borrower to an SBA loan.
Gelt is flexible with how we structure deals and that gives us a real edge in providing capital. As part of its robust national growth strategy, Gelt Financial plans to continue to lend and provide capital to business and real estate investors when banks are not.
