The launch of Offset Capital Advisors has been spotlighted in the February 9 edition of the Commercial Mortgage Alert, “Bridge Loan Pros Launch New Shop.” As a new commercial real estate lender, Offset Capital is targeting middle market borrowers and aiming to originate up to $100 million of senior and subordinate debt by year end.
The founders see a unique opportunity to fill a growing demand for gap financing, as borrowers face tougher market conditions compared to three years ago, making it harder to buy or refinance commercial properties with the same returns. By focusing on preferred-equity and mezzanine financing over the short term, Offset seeks to invest gap equity to help balance the volatility in the middle market.
Offset is looking to lend roughly $2 million to $10 million per preferred-equity and mezzanine transaction, and $5 million to $15 million for senior bridge loans, to position itself as a key player in addressing the current financing gap in commercial real estate.
