Commercial Loans
Commercial lending covers everything the other pages don’t: retail buildings, offices, mixed-use, multifamily beyond four units, self-storage, hospitality, and more. The loan is underwritten on the property’s income and your plan for it — and the program range here runs from small-town storefronts to institutional-size projects.

Commercial Opportunity in a Tourism Economy
A million-plus annual visitors need places to eat, sleep, park, and play — and the Gorge’s commercial stock is still catching up. Campgrounds, small lodges, restaurants in Slade and Stanton, storage, and 5+ cabin portfolios all fit commercial financing. Local knowledge matters here: we know which corridors get the traffic because we drive them every day.

Common Questions
I own several Gorge cabins — is that “commercial”?
It can be. Portfolios and 5+ unit situations often finance better under one commercial umbrella than as a stack of individual loans — one payment, one lender, blended terms. Bring the rent rolls and we’ll compare both structures.
What does a commercial lender actually underwrite?
The property’s net operating income against the proposed payment (that’s the DSCR), the tenancy and leases, your experience, and the exit. Clean books and realistic projections move commercial deals more than credit scores do.
