He always responded very quickly with our requests, he would come back with different options with comparison chart to clearly indicate how much we need for down payment, monthly payments, interest rates, closing costs etc.

--- Tom Troiano - Atlantic City, NJ
He's nothing short of a miracle!
I'm a self-employed businessman and had him figure out the mortgage of the house after 30% down payment. The interest rates I received were incredibly low given what I had thought of earlier. One other important thing to note was that I hadn't really taken any loans earlier, so I had no credit history. He helped me out with all that as well so I can't really call him anything else but a miracle.
--- Fran Suarez - Cleveland, OH
He's really helpful!
I made a bid to him and the very same day he gave me an offer which I couldn't resist. It was too intimidating with those incredibly low interest rates and all, thoroughly recommend him.

Bill made us feel like a friend all the way thru the process. He was patient and explained everything he needed clearly. He was available ANYTIME we had questions or needed more information. Hopefully we wonโt go thru this process again anytime soon, but if we do - weโd choose Bill! =)
--- Barbra & Nick Grimmer - Austin, TX
Great broker!
Bill was a great broker to work with. As first time home buyers we had many questions about the process, Bill took the time to help us even calling us back on weekends with answers. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a broker to work with.
--- Murray & Lisa Turner - Pensacola, FL
Outstanding service!
I couldn't have been more pleased with Bill's level of service. He made what is typically a lengthy, arduous process far quicker and easier at every turn. I'm extremely comfortable recommending Bill to friends and family, and will definitely utilize his services again!

Commercial Mortgage Brokerage Services
Commercial Lending Made Simple
Securing financing for commercial real estate can be one of the most importantโand sometimes challengingโparts of any transaction. Whether you're purchasing a property, refinancing existing debt, funding improvements, or expanding your business, having the right financing strategy can make a significant difference.
At CommLoan and the Viking Enterprise Team, we help investors and business owners navigate the commercial lending process and connect with financing solutions that fit their goals.
Our mission is simple: help clients secure the right loan with the right lender at the right time.
What Is Commercial Real Estate Financing?
Commercial real estate financing allows investors and business owners to purchase, refinance, construct, or improve income-producing and owner-occupied properties.
Common property types include:
Office buildings
Retail centers
Industrial and warehouse properties
Multifamily properties
Medical office buildings
Self-storage facilities
Hospitality properties
Mixed-use developments
Unlike residential mortgages, commercial loans are designed around the property's income, business purpose, and overall investment strategy.
Financing Solutions for Every Situation
No two borrowers are exactly alike.
We help clients explore a variety of financing options, including:
Conventional bank loans
Credit union financing
SBA 7(a) and SBA 504 loans
Multifamily financing
Construction loans
Bridge loans
Private lending
DSCR loans
Portfolio lending
Commercial refinancing solutions
Our goal is to match each borrower with financing that aligns with their business plan and objectives.
Understanding What Lenders Look For
Commercial lenders evaluate both the borrower and the property when making lending decisions.
Common factors include:
Property cash flow
Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)
Loan-to-value ratio (LTV)
Borrower experience
Credit history
Liquidity and net worth
Property type and location
Understanding these factors early can improve approval odds and create a smoother financing process.
Access to Hundreds of Lending Sources
One of the biggest challenges borrowers face is identifying which lenders are a good fit for their transaction.
Through our lending network, we help connect clients with:
Local community banks
Regional banks
National lenders
Credit unions
Agency lenders
Life insurance companies
SBA lenders
Private capital providers
Bridge and hard money lenders
Instead of contacting lenders one at a time, borrowers can gain access to multiple financing options through a single point of contact.
Financing for Acquisitions and Refinances
Whether you're purchasing a property or refinancing existing debt, we help clients evaluate available options and structure financing solutions that support their goals.
Common financing objectives include:
Property acquisitions
Rate and term refinances
Cash-out refinances
Construction financing
Property improvements
Debt restructuring
Portfolio growth
Every transaction is unique, and financing should be tailored to the specific needs of the borrower.
Preparing for a Successful Loan Approval
Commercial lending is largely driven by information.
To begin evaluating financing options, lenders typically request:
Property information
Purchase contract or offering memorandum
Rent roll
Income and expense statements
Personal financial statement
Business and personal tax returns
Bank and asset statements
Providing complete and accurate information upfront helps improve efficiency and reduce delays during underwriting.
Why Work With a Commercial Mortgage Broker?
Commercial financing is not a one-size-fits-all process.
Different lenders have different appetites for property types, loan sizes, borrower profiles, and business plans.
A commercial mortgage broker helps:
Identify appropriate lenders
Compare financing options
Structure transactions
Navigate underwriting
Coordinate third-party reports
Improve execution certainty
Save time and reduce frustration
Rather than approaching lenders individually, borrowers benefit from having an experienced advisor help guide the process from application through closing.
Why Work With Bill Rapp, The Mortgage Viking?
With decades of lending and commercial real estate experience, Bill Rapp helps business owners and investors simplify the financing process while accessing a broad network of lending solutions.
Whether you're purchasing your first commercial property, refinancing an existing asset, expanding your portfolio, or seeking construction financing, you'll receive guidance throughout every stage of the transaction.
Our mission is simple:
Help investors and business owners secure the capital they need to acquire, refinance, develop, and grow commercial real estate assets with confidence.
If you're considering a commercial real estate purchase, refinance, construction project, or business expansion, contact Bill Rapp, The Mortgage Viking, to discuss your financing options and develop a strategy that supports your goals.
