We raise capital through broker-dealer and registered investment advisor channels, as well as from institutional, family office, and private high-net-worth investors. Our objective is to preserve and protect investment capital, while achieving attractive risk-adjusted returns. Lending Programs Red Oak is debt fund sponsor that specializes in providing short-term, structured financing solutions for commercial real estate projects in primary, secondary and select tertiary markets. With 4 proprietary loan programs, we offer multiple solutions for your capital needs. We have two higher-leverage products for assets that have a substantial value-creation opportunity. The loan amounts, which range from $1 million to $15 million, can be used for the acquisition, refinance, conversion, rehabilitation or stabilization of commercial real estate. The other two programs provide flexible, non-permanent capital for institutional-quality assets that are in transition and may require additional funds or time to reach stabilization, or where the borrower needs funds on a stabilized property to acquire an asset or pay off a maturing loan.
