SBA Loans

SBA loans are one of the most powerful tools for small and mid-size business owners. Because they are backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, lenders can offer lower down payments and longer terms than many conventional loans. Kelly Dutton helps you find the right SBA lender and package your file so it moves smoothly.

Are SBA loans hard to get?

They take more paperwork than a simple loan, but a well-prepared file moves faster. That is where a broker helps.

How much do I need to put down?

It varies by lender and deal, often less than conventional financing. Kelly will give you a realistic range for your situation.

Can I use an SBA loan to buy a business?

Yes, business acquisition is a common SBA use.

Multifamily Loans

Apartment buildings and multi-unit property can be a strong path to building wealth, but the financing is its own world. Kelly Dutton helps investors arrange purchase and refinance loans for multifamily property across Phoenix and Maricopa County.

How many units count as multifamily?

Generally five or more units is treated as commercial multifamily. Smaller properties may have other options.

Can I refinance to pull out equity?

Cash-out refinance is possible on many multifamily deals, depending on value and income.

Do you work with first-time investors?

Yes. Kelly will tell you up front what lenders will want to see.

Hospitality Loans

Hospitality financing is specialized, and not every lender understands it. Kelly Dutton works with lenders who do. She helps hotel and motel owners and investors arrange financing for purchase, refinance, and property improvement.

Can you finance an independent hotel?

Yes, both flagged and independent properties, depending on the deal.

What about renovation or PIP financing?

Kelly can arrange financing for property improvement in many cases.

Do you handle deals outside Phoenix?

Yes. Hospitality projects nationwide are welcome.

Office Financing

Kelly arranges financing for office property purchase, refinance, and owner-occupied space, with loan sizes generally from about $1 million to $50 million.

Can I finance an office building my own business occupies?

Yes. Owner-occupied office is a common deal, and it may open up SBA options alongside conventional financing.

How do lenders look at vacancy in an office building?

Occupancy, lease terms, and tenant quality all matter. Kelly will tell you up front what your rent roll needs to show.

Can I refinance an office property, not just buy one?

Yes. Purchase and refinance are both common, and terms depend on the property, its income, and the current market.

Retail Financing

Kelly arranges financing for retail centers and storefront property, including purchase and refinance, for deals from about $1 million to $50 million.

What kinds of retail property can be financed?

Strip centers, anchored and unanchored centers, single-tenant storefronts, and mixed retail. The right lender depends on the property type.

Does a single-tenant property make financing harder?

Not necessarily. Lease length and tenant credit usually matter more than the number of tenants.

Can I finance a retail center that has vacancies?

Often yes, though vacancy affects terms. Kelly will give you a realistic read before you go to market.

Industrial Financing

Kelly arranges financing for warehouses, flex space, and other industrial property, for deals from about $1 million to $50 million.

What counts as industrial property?

Warehouses, distribution and flex space, light manufacturing, and in many cases self-storage.

Can I finance a building my business will operate from?

Yes. Owner-occupied industrial is common, and it may qualify for SBA programs as well as conventional financing.

What about special-use or single-purpose buildings?

Financing is sometimes available, though fewer lenders participate. Kelly will tell you early whether a deal is realistic.

Mixed-Use & Bridge Financing

Kelly arranges financing for mixed-use property and short-term bridge loans, tailored to the deal, generally from about $1 million to $50 million.

How is mixed-use property financed?

It depends on the split between residential and commercial space. That mix determines which lenders will look at the deal.

When does a bridge loan make sense?

When a deal needs to close quickly, or when a property needs to be stabilized before it can qualify for long-term financing.

How long do bridge loans usually run?

They are short-term by design, often a matter of months up to a couple of years, depending on the lender and the plan to exit.
