commercial mortgage

Aurum and Sharpe was founded in 2017 by me, Bryan Hanley, and one of my best friends, Rudy Renelique. After many years working at big banks like Chase, and Wells Fargo, we decided we could bring value to a mortgage market that was starving for independent thinkers. So we started Aurum and Sharpe over a phone call about financing a multi-family deal in Brooklyn. Since starting this business we’ve been on many adventures from financing a $20 million portfolio of single families, to meeting the President of Rwanda and Finance Minister of Namibia.

Rudy has gone on to start his own firm, Overture Capital, while I’ve stayed on to grow Aurum and Sharpe. Aurum is the original Latin word for gold (that’s why the periodic table has it listed at Au). We chose it because we think of our word as “as good as Gold.” And in that vein, we want to add value to every customer we come in contact with. Our promise is that by working with us, you will increase your Freedom, Purpose, and Fulfillment.

Our process includes learning your overall objectives and where you want to go in your life so that we make sure your financing enhances your life and gets you to your destination much faster. What that means though, is that we are not like every other broker on the street that will only do a surface level amount of learning about you, your life, and your motivations. For us, that is Gold. We want to learn how we can tailor your financing so that you thrive in your life! So before we talk about rates, terms, or anything else, we are going to try and figure out how to add value through financing.

We know this approach isn’t for everyone. But if this resonates with you, lets talk: 917 475 6207

Financing Your Commercial Property with a Cross-Collateralization Loan

Financing Your Property with a Cross-Collateralization Loan

Many business owners looking to finance multiple properties will do so with a cross-collateralization loan, which involves taking out a new loan using equity in properties they already have. Cross-collateralization loans are most commonly made by private lenders, and are enough to finance at least two properties at once. You can do the same thing with a bridge loan, which you may have heard of, however cross-collateralization loans don’t involve a balloon payment that needs to be paid back in 18 months like bridge loans do, making them an ideal choice for people who don’t want the extra pressure. Just as with any important financial decision, it is important to consider the benefits and drawbacks of a cross-collateralization loan before you decide to apply for one. This type of loan appeals to business owners who want a consistent, reliable source […]
