🍽️ Another deal CLOSED! Here's how AAI Financial helped turn a challenging restaurant start-up into a funded reality. 💪

When this deal landed on our desk mid-project, we knew we had our work cut out for us. The ask? $1,550,000 in financing for a start-up restaurant in Seattle, Washington — and the hurdles were stacked:

⚠️ Start-up restaurant (no operating history)
⚠️ Lease only — no real estate as collateral
⚠️ Project already underway when it came to us
⚠️ Client managing their own subs directly — no General Contractor in place

For most lenders, that's a hard pass. For AAI Financial, that's a puzzle worth solving.

Here's what we had to work with:

✅ A prime Seattle location with serious foot traffic potential
✅ One of the partners is an experienced, successful restaurant owner-operator with proven cash flow

We leaned into the strengths, structured the deal around the partner's track record, and found the right lending solution to get this project across the finish line — even mid-stream.

This is exactly what we do. When the deal is messy, the timeline is tight, and the traditional path is closed — AAI Financial finds the way.

Yakima, WA

🏢 CLOSED! Another commercial deal done — and this one wasn't easy! 🎉

AAI Financial is proud to announce the successful brokering of a commercial building purchase in Yakima, WA for $1,129,000! 💼

This deal came with its share of hurdles — but that's exactly where we shine. Here's what we were up against:

🔨 Owner-Builder Financing — Our client plans to renovate the building post-purchase, which meant we needed to find a lender willing to finance an owner-builder. Not every lender will touch this, but we found the right fit.

🚀 Start-Up Business Classification — Even though our client is a seasoned entrepreneur with multiple businesses under their belt, none were in the same field as this new venture. That made our client look like a start-up in the eyes of lenders — a challenge we navigated carefully.

⏱️ Seller in a Rush — The seller needed to move fast. That kind of pressure demands precision, communication, and a team that knows how to get things done without cutting corners.

Despite every obstacle, we got it to the closing table. That's what AAI Financial does.

If you have a complex deal that others have turned away, give us a call. We find a way. 💪

Grandview, WA

🏢 CLOSED! AAI Financial is proud to announce the successful refinancing of a 16-unit multifamily apartment complex in Grandview, WA — $2,660,000 secured for our client!

This newly constructed property, completed in August 2025, came to us 100% occupied and ready to perform. But with the existing loan's maturity date closing in fast, we had a tight window to make it happen.

Here's a glimpse of what went on behind the scenes to get this one across the finish line:

✅ Provided prompt, thorough answers to every lender question
✅ Collaborated closely with the property management company to pull together current rental history
✅ Gathered due diligence materials upfront — including complex business financials with many moving parts
✅ Served as the dedicated go-between for the lender and title company, ensuring both had exactly what they needed, when they needed it
✅ Navigated the lender's requirement to receive original loan documents before releasing funds — all while keeping the timeline on track

This is what we do. Every deal. Every client. We get in the details, stay on top of the process, and don't let the ball drop — no matter how many moving pieces are in play.

If you or someone you know is looking to refinance or secure financing for a commercial or multifamily property, let's talk. 👇
