iBorrow

Founded in 2013 by Brian Good, Harlan Peltz and Andrew Peltz and based in Los Angeles, iBorrow was among the earliest industry leaders to recognize the potential benefits of private direct lending for CRE borrowers and investors. As a direct lender providing short-term bridge financing to commercial property owners at competitive interest rates on a non-recourse basis, iBorrow has delivered solutions to entrepreneurial borrowers throughout the country and has completed more than $2 billion in fundings since its inception. 

As regional and community banks all but exited the market for CRE bridge lending recently in the face of rising inflation and interest rates – exacerbated by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and other regional financial institutions – iBorrow accelerated its lending pace. From financing $87 million of Ian Schrager’s $100-million-plus acquisition of the former Standard Hotel in West Hollywood, CA to providing much-needed liquidity to a major employer in Toledo, OH through a sale-leaseback financing, iBorrow goes above and beyond to find the right solutions for borrowers.  

iBorrow prides itself on its ability to close within a narrow two- to four-week timeframe and sometimes less. Since its inception, the firm has never missed a funding date; because it does not outsource funding, iBorrow is able to make decisions and fund transactions quickly. 

These are some of the reasons we selected the iBorrow team for inclusion in the 2024 Connect CRE Top Mortgage Brokers and Lenders Awards. These awards recognize industry professionals who have demonstrated the highest standards in commercial real estate finance.
