🧾 Commercial Financing 101: Choosing Between LLC and REIT Structures 🧠

💼 REITs or LLCs? A Lender’s View of Real Estate Investment Structures 🔎


💸 LLC vs. REIT: What’s the Best Investment Structure for Financing Real Estate?

At Medallion Mortgage, we work with business owners, developers, and real estate investors across the U.S. who are navigating one major decision: should I finance this property through an LLC or buy into a REIT?

The answer can impact your financing options, tax liability, and long-term return.

🏦 LLC Financing Insights

If you're purchasing or refinancing under an LLC, you’re treated as a direct real estate owner. This gives you access to tailored financing:

  • DSCR loans for investment properties

  • Bank statement loans for self-employed borrowers

  • Commercial bridge loans for value-add projects

  • Easier execution for 1031 exchanges

But lenders will underwrite the LLC structure carefully. Be prepared with an operating agreement, business financials, and a solid asset plan.

🏛️ REIT Investment & Lending

REITs are typically financed at a corporate or institutional level. If you’re investing in a REIT, you may not be applying for a loan—you're buying shares. However, for developers looking to form a REIT or raise capital through one, the conversation shifts to syndication, SEC regulations, and large-scale financing tools like:

  • Non-recourse loans

  • CMBS financing

  • Private equity lending

REITs often offer passive access to professionally managed properties, but you trade control for liquidity and scale.

💼 So What’s Right for You?

Use an LLC if you:

  • Want control

  • Plan to hold and operate a commercial property

  • Need flexible financing or refinance tools

Consider a REIT if you:

  • Want passive income and diversification

  • Are raising investor capital for a larger portfolio

  • Don’t want to be hands-on with property management

At Medallion Mortgage, we help structure the deal—and the loan—for maximum return and flexibility.
