Table Funding for CRE Bridge Loans

Baseline Partners is actively looking to partner with lenders that require capital for table funding opportunities, where available, based on state licensing requirements. Baseline Partners will work with closing/fulfilling counsel and due diligence vendors to ensure the closing process conforms to pre-determined underwriting guidelines. Lenders will be working with loan sponsors to upload relevant documentation and cure loan exceptions. Depending on the quality of documentation, Baseline Partners is targeting a 2 – 4 week closing timeline.

Table funding transactions may incur a fee up to 1 point, depending on the size of the loan.
