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.

I really liked his attitude!

I wouldn't usually say this but the way he had handled my mortgage was really pleasant. I personally enjoyed the time spent with him while we discussed feasible rates. He's a great man with a great personality and he offered really low interests as well. Definitely recommend him to others.


--- Tom Troiano - Atlantic City, NJ



Image

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


Image

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.


--- Kenny Mickle - Houston, TX


Image

Expeditious!

Bill was very expeditious and made it real easy going through the loan process. I felt he was on top of things.

I deal with investment properties and will more than likely call on him again.


--- Wayne King - Pensacola, FL


Image

Bill was great!

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 won’t go thru this process again anytime soon, but if we do - we’d choose Bill! =)


--- Barbra & Nick Grimmer - Austin, TX


Image

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


Image

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 important—and sometimes challenging—parts 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.

🏗️ Stop Referring Away Revenue: Why Every Commercial Real Estate Broker Needs Capital Advisory Services 💰

🚀 Commercial Real Estate Financing: How Capital Advisory Makes CRE Brokers More Profitable 🤝


Why Commercial Real Estate Brokers Should Add Capital Advisory Services

For many commercial real estate brokers, the transaction ends once the purchase contract is signed.

The financing? That gets referred to someone else.

While referrals are valuable, every referral also represents an opportunity to strengthen your client relationship, increase your value, and generate additional revenue.

Today's commercial real estate environment is more complex than ever. Buyers need financing guidance long before closing, and investors increasingly want one trusted advisor who can help them navigate every aspect of the transaction.

That's exactly why the most successful commercial brokers are expanding into capital advisory services.

Every Commercial Transaction Has a Financing Component

Whether you're representing buyers, sellers, investors, or developers, financing impacts virtually every deal.

Examples include:

·Investment property acquisitions

·Owner-user purchases

·Multifamily financing

·Office buildings

·Industrial warehouses

·Retail centers

·Medical office buildings

·Construction financing

·Ground-up development

·Land acquisition

·Bridge loans

·SBA financing

·Cash-out refinancing

·Permanent financing

The financing often determines whether the deal closes at all.

Instead of waiting for lenders to solve financing problems, brokers who understand commercial lending become indispensable advisors.

Capital Advisory Creates More Opportunities

Adding financing services allows you to assist clients before they even begin searching for property.

Rather than asking:

"What are you looking to buy?"

You begin asking:

"What financing structure best helps you accomplish your investment goals?"

That changes the entire conversation.

You become involved earlier in the buying process while helping clients determine:

·Maximum purchasing power

·Down payment requirements

·Cash flow projections

·Loan program selection

·Equity strategies

·Exit planning

Investment Sales Become Easier

Investment buyers often compare:

·Cap Rates

·Cash-on-Cash Returns

·Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

But financing dramatically impacts every one of these metrics.

Understanding commercial real estate financing allows brokers to help investors evaluate:

·Fixed vs. floating rates

·Interest-only options

·SBA eligibility

·Agency financing

·Bridge strategies

·Construction-to-permanent loans

The result?

Better-informed clients who make decisions with confidence.

Construction and Development Need Specialized Financing

Developers rarely need only one loan.

Projects often require:

·Land acquisition financing

·Horizontal development loans

·Vertical construction financing

·Bridge loans

·Permanent takeout financing

Understanding the capital stack positions brokers as valuable members of the development team rather than simply transaction facilitators.

Refinance Opportunities Never Stop

One of the biggest advantages of offering capital advisory is that relationships continue after closing.

Clients regularly refinance to:

·Lower interest rates

·Pull out equity

·Expand portfolios

·Renovate properties

·Consolidate debt

·Improve cash flow

Each refinance creates another opportunity to provide value while generating additional income.

SBA Financing Opens New Markets

Business owners frequently purchase:

·Medical offices

·Warehouses

·Retail buildings

·Automotive facilities

·Restaurants

·Manufacturing properties

Many qualify for SBA financing with attractive leverage and long-term fixed rates.

Understanding SBA lending helps brokers serve owner-users while opening entirely new client segments.

Cross-Selling Builds Lifetime Clients

When clients trust you with both real estate and financing, your relationship deepens.

Instead of completing one transaction, you become their long-term commercial real estate advisor.

Clients often return for:

·Acquisitions

·Sales

·Refinancing

·Expansion

·Construction

·Portfolio optimization

·1031 exchanges

That creates recurring business rather than one-time commissions.

Why CommLoan Makes Capital Advisory Easy

Many brokers assume becoming a commercial mortgage broker requires years of lender relationships.

Modern technology has changed that.

Through the CommLoan platform, brokers gain access to hundreds of commercial lending sources across multiple asset classes, making it easier to identify competitive financing solutions while serving clients more efficiently.

Whether your client needs conventional financing, SBA loans, bridge financing, construction lending, or agency debt, having financing capabilities allows you to offer more complete solutions.

Become the Advisor Clients Remember

The brokers who thrive over the next decade won't simply sell buildings.

They'll solve problems.

By combining brokerage with capital advisory, you position yourself as a trusted advisor who guides clients from acquisition through financing, development, refinancing, and long-term portfolio growth.

That creates stronger relationships, more repeat business, and additional revenue opportunities.

Call to Action

How much additional revenue could you generate if you kept the financing in-house?

If you're ready to provide complete commercial real estate solutions while expanding your business, let's discuss how adding capital advisory services can transform your brokerage.
