RPD CATALYST, LLC

SPECIALIZING IN REAL ESTATE LOANS TRADITIONAL LENDERS TURN DOWN

 
 

RPD Catalyst, LLC (“Catalyst”) brings a professional approach to providing real estate acquisition financing and refinancing to a tier of the market left underserved by more traditional lenders, especially in today’s world of rising interest rates and capital market volatility. Our experience dates back 35 years and includes all property types and regions of the country.

Catalyst makes loans and investments in residential income and commercial properties, employing a very personalized, hands-on approach to assist prospective borrowers.  We look beyond mere credit scores to come up with a financing strategy on terms that make sense for the project and for the borrower.

Our ability to creatively structure loans comes from the specialized experience of our senior team members, who are originally from the borrower/sponsor side of the business, rather than the lending side. This gives Catalyst a distinct advantage over its box-checking competition. At Catalyst, we have the ability to think outside the box.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

We don’t check boxes. We think outside of them.

RPD Catalyst, LLC has broad lending parameters free of the ever-increasing mountains of regulation that banks and other financial institutions face.  In addition, we have chosen to remain nonbureaucratic, providing borrowers direct access to senior loan officers. This combination gives a prospective borrower the opportunity to work with the lending team to creatively structure a loan that meets the borrower’s needs. Below are our general loan parameters, none of which is set in stone.
