FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Commercial Note?

A commercial note is a type of promissory note used to finance transactions involving commercial real estate. It represents a legal debt obligation in which the borrower agrees to repay a specified amount to the note holder, typically secured by a mortgage on the commercial property or other forms of collateral.

What kind of Commercial Notes do you purchase?

We purchase a wide range of first position commercial notes, including those secured by office buildings, apartment buildings with more than four units, churches, auto repair shops, gas stations, retail properties, mixed-use properties (such as a retail shop downstairs with an apartment upstairs), motels, and industrial properties.

What can you do if I’m having trouble with my commercial note?

At NL Equity we understand that circumstances can sometimes make managing a commercial note difficult. Our experienced team is committed to working closely with you to identify the most appropriate solutions—whether that involves note restructuring, timely purchase, or strategic guidance tailored to your needs. Please contact us to discuss your situation confidentially, and we will provide expert support to help you navigate your options effectively.

Do you work with private investors?

Yes, we partner with private investors to provide access to carefully vetted, real estate-secured commercial notes. Our thorough analysis and disciplined approach help investors achieve attractive, risk-adjusted returns without the complexities of managing loans directly.
