Bedford Lending is a direct FHA and USDA lender, certified to finance both apartment and healthcare transactions since 1992. We have the esteemed designation of being both an approved MAP and LEAN Lender which allows us to accelerate the loan process.
The principals have a combined 100 years of experience and have closed over $3 billion in apartment and healthcare transactions. We have experience in every facet of financing including acquisitions, new construction, substantial rehabs and tax credit deals.
What separates BLC is the time we invest prequalifying deals and the management of the process once engaged. There are many key considerations that need to be researched to determine the viability of a new loan request. We carefully evaluate all critical finance and market assumptions so that our clients can make informed decisions.
