Industries We Serve

Deep Expertise in Your Sector

We don't finance every business — we finance three, and we know them better than anyone. Hotel owners, gas station operators, and commercial real estate investors get advisors who understand their industry, their lenders, and how to get their deal closed.

Hotel & Hospitality

We Speak Hospitality Finance.

Hotels are one of the most complex assets in commercial real estate — and most lenders treat them that way, often declining deals that don't fit a simple box. We've spent decades building relationships with lenders who specialize in hospitality, from limited-service flagged properties to independent boutique hotels.

Whether you're acquiring a branded franchise property, completing a PIP, refinancing an existing note, or funding a conversion, we know how to structure the deal and which lenders will close it.

What We Finance

  • Flagged franchise properties: Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Wyndham, Choice, Best Western
  • Independent and boutique hotel acquisitions
  • PIP (Property Improvement Plan) financing
  • Brand conversion and flag change financing
  • Refinance and cash-out for stabilized assets
  • SBA 7(a) and SBA 504 for owner-operators
  • Bridge loans for transitional and value-add properties

Gas Stations & C-Stores

Petroleum Retail Is Our Specialty.

Petroleum retail is a specialized asset class that most conventional lenders avoid entirely. Environmental liability, fuel supply agreements, underground storage tanks, and the economics of convenience retail require lenders who understand the business — not just the real estate.

We have deep, established relationships with lenders who actively seek gas station and C-store deals. We know how to present your transaction, address environmental concerns, and structure financing that gets to the closing table.

What We Finance

  • Branded and unbranded fuel stations
  • Gas station + convenience store combinations
  • Environmental liability navigation and lender guidance
  • Underground storage tank (UST) compliance financing
  • Fuel supply agreement review and lender presentation
  • SBA 7(a) for owner-operated acquisitions
  • Refinance, cash-out, and portfolio financing

Single-family rental homes in a residential neighborhood

What We Finance

  • DSCR loans — qualify on rental income, not personal income
  • Single-family, duplex, triplex, and fourplex financing
  • Fix-and-flip and fix-to-rent bridge loans
  • Portfolio loans for 5+ properties under one note
  • Short-term rental (Airbnb/VRBO) financing

House under renovation for fix and flip investment

Fix & Flip

Fast Capital for Fast Deals.

What We Finance

  • Short-term bridge loans: 6–24 month terms
  • Up to 90% of purchase price + 100% of rehab costs
  • Asset-based underwriting — credit score not the only factor

Why Operators Choose American Commercial Lending

Most commercial finance brokers are generalists. We're not. Our entire practice is built around three industries — and that focus means faster approvals, better terms, and fewer surprises at closing.

When you work with us, you're not explaining your business to someone who's never seen it before. You're working with advisors who have closed hundreds of transactions just like yours.

  • Industry-Specific Lender Network

    We maintain active relationships with lenders who specialize in hotels, gas stations, and CRE — not just general commercial lenders.

  • No Learning Curve

    Our advisors understand your asset class, your cash flow dynamics, and the underwriting criteria that matter to your lenders.

  • Faster Approvals

    Because we know which lenders will approve your deal before we submit, we eliminate wasted time and unnecessary declines.

  • Transparent Process

    We tell you exactly where your deal stands, what lenders are looking for, and what it will take to close — no runaround.

Let's Talk About Your Deal

Whether you're acquiring your first hotel, refinancing a gas station portfolio, or pursuing a complex CRE transaction, we're ready to help you find the right capital.
