Demystifying Commercial Lending: How to Finance Smart CRE Investments

If you’ve ever wondered how commercial property loans really work — or what lenders look for when deciding whether to fund your deal — this is for you.

Join us for an educational evening where Christy Lehmpuhl, a local commercial lender, will walk through the fundamentals of commercial real estate financing and help you understand how to position yourself for success as an investor.

Just a few of the insights you'll gain:

• Understanding Conventional Commercial Loans — What they are, how they differ from residential loans, and when they make sense.
• Underwriting and What Lenders Are Looking For — The key metrics lenders analyze (DSCR, LTV, credit strength, experience) and how you can prepare your deal package to stand out.
• Cash Flow and Property Values — How lenders evaluate income-producing properties and how to estimate what a property can realistically support in financing.

Whether you’re exploring your first deal or expanding your portfolio, you’ll walk away with practical tools and insider knowledge to approach commercial lenders with confidence.
