What Qualifies

  • 2 acres minimum on every loan, no exceptions
  • Vacant land only. Raw and vacant acreage, recreational and hunting ground, timberland, tiny home and cabin sites, and outdoor storage yards
  • No construction money. The loan covers the land. Build money comes from your own cash or a construction lender
  • Entity on title, LLC or corporation, business purpose only
  • Wraps allowed. Sell on owner financing and the loan stays in place, so you do not pay a release on every lot
  • 100 percent of price is available by cross-collateralizing one additional property
Program Two

The Facility Loan
Above $2,000,000

For an operating farm or ranch rather than raw ground. Sized off the global cash flow of the whole operation, every entity included, not off the dirt alone.

What The File Has To Contain

  • 2 years of personal tax returns and 2 years on the borrowing entity
  • 1 year of returns on every entity you own 10 percent or more of, outside the borrowing entity
  • Filed returns only. Income only counts off a return that has actually been filed
  • P&L and balance sheet in the interim if last year is not filed yet. Those get underwritten while the return is pending
  • Current PFS and a debt schedule showing every note, line and payment
  • Sources and uses, plus a clear description of each asset being pledged
How it gets sized. The loan amount follows global cash flow once the financials are complete. A straight farm mortgage amortizes over 30 years. A facility loan pledging several properties amortizes over 15, so the coverage has to be stronger. Pricing runs 7 to 9 percent, which puts it in life company and USDA territory, and that is the comparison worth making on an operating farm.
A facility loan cannot take cash out. If cash out is the objective, the structure has to change before the file goes in.

What Fits

  • Operating collateral. Cropland and pasture, ranch land, orchards, citrus and vineyards, cattle and cow-calf, poultry
  • Consolidation. Rolling real estate, equipment, livestock and operating debt into one amortizing facility
  • Terming out short lines that have no amortization and payments stepping up
  • Multiple properties pledged together under one facility

Send the returns for every entity at the start. Incomplete files get set aside, and that is the most common reason a good farm deal stalls here.

Business purpose only. We never collect money before closing. Sizing shown is the published program and is not a commitment. Final loan amount follows valuation and title review. Program One is not available in New York, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Hawaii or Vermont. Forman Capital Partners is a commercial capital advisory firm. No upfront fees under any circumstances.

One Business Day

Send the acreage and the numbers.

State, acreage, price, value and what you want to borrow is enough to size it. Every file is reviewed by a person and answered within one business day, including the ones that do not work, which are declined the same day rather than left open.
