Strategic Debt
& Capital Placement

Iron Hound helps commercial real estate owners nationwide finance properties of every type and size, sourcing the right capital from the right lenders. Our reach in the capital markets lets us run a competitive process that secures the most competitive structure and pricing.

We source permanent financing, acquisition financing, construction financing, bridge loans, mezzanine debt, joint venture equity, and recapitalization solutions. Behind that breadth is a deep, longstanding network of capital relationships, spanning domestic and investment banks, CMBS lenders, life insurance companies, and pension funds, which means we can match each deal to the lenders and investors best suited to fund it.

Whether the need is a straightforward refinancing or a complex, multi-layered capital stack, we structure creative solutions and bring them to market with the access and credibility to execute.

    • Debt placement is the process of sourcing and securing the right loan for a commercial real estate asset, whether that's permanent financing, acquisition financing, construction financing, a bridge loan, or mezzanine debt.

    • Because every lender has a different appetite for asset type, market, leverage, and structure, running a broad, competitive process is the difference between a workable loan and the right one.

    • We take each deal to market across our network of banks, CMBS lenders, debt funds, life insurance companies, and pension funds, then negotiate terms to secure the most competitive structure and pricing available.

    • Equity placement is the process of pairing a sponsor with the capital partner best suited to their deal, whether that's joint venture equity, preferred equity, or a recapitalization.

    • We connect borrowers with strategic capital partners who can either bridge the gap on the equity requirement needed to close a deal, or step in on the sponsor's behalf when the situation calls for it.

    • Because equity investors underwrite the sponsor as much as the deal, these introductions depend on relationships and credibility. We position each opportunity to the partners most likely to move on it.

    • Not every capital raise starts from a position of strength. Sometimes a loan is maturing, a construction budget has run over, or a partner needs to be bought out, and the clock is working against you.

    • In those situations we move quickly to assess the capital need, identify the most realistic sources, and structure a solution that solves the immediate problem without compromising the long-term value of the asset.

    • Because we also work as restructuring advisors, we understand distressed and time-sensitive situations better than most, and we bring that perspective to every capital raise.
