How we work

Larry and Ben size the loan to what the work actually costs, structure it around what your dues can carry, and take it to the lenders most likely to approve a community like yours, with the questions they typically ask already answered. Our client portal keeps your documents in one place.

Answers for boards and managers

  • Board operations

    A New Board Member's 90-Day HOA Loan Education

    New HOA board members inherit financial obligations they did not sign up for. This 90-day plan walks a first-term board member through the governing documents, reserve studies, assessment structures, and loan vocabulary they need to make informed decisions. We cover the specific documents to request from the outgoing board, the questions to ask the property manager, and the reading order that turns a volunteer into a competent fiduciary before the first loan discussion arrives.

  • Loan basics

    HOA Financing Options for Small Associations (50 Units or Fewer)

    Small associations sit in an awkward spot in the HOA lending market. Smaller loans face higher lender minimums, fewer bidders, and sometimes wider spreads than larger deals, though we arrange financing for projects from $100,000 with no set maximum. This post walks boards under 50 units through the real economics, which lenders actually bid on small deals, and the document discipline that makes a $500K loan close cleanly. Plus a four-question FAQ and next steps.

  • Choosing a lender

    The Lender Network: Why Choice Matters More Than Any Single Bank

    A single bank has one credit box. A network has many. We tell the story of a small mixed-use association where four of six lenders in our network passed and the winner was the one specialist who writes that exact profile. Larry Kirschner explains why our network exists, how it was built since 2016, and why relationships that survived multiple credit cycles are the ones that pay off for boards today.
