United Capital Group, LLC (248-682-6650) is seeking credit tenant lease financing opportunities on single tenant properties or ground leases, leased to investment grade tenants nationwide from $3 million and up. The loans are non-recourse, except for standard carve-outs. The company typically provides loan dollars in excess of 100% of total cost. Interest rates are fixed for the life of the loan and are determined on the basis of the tenant’s credit strength. Terms of 20, 25 and sometimes 30 years can be achieved.
