# Blue Sky Capital Advisors — Full Content Reference for AI Crawlers This file provides plain-text content of priority pages for AI crawlers and language models. Blue Sky Capital Advisors is a commercial mortgage advisory firm founded by Dominick Prevete with 31 years of real estate finance experience. Headquartered at 4 Sutton Ct, Hamburg, NJ 07419. Phone: (908) 220-6404. --- ## Blue Sky Capital Advisors Overview Blue Sky Capital Advisors arranges commercial mortgages and real estate capital for investors and business owners. We operate as an advisor — meaning we shop your deal across our 100+ lender network and find the lender whose specific appetite matches your specific deal. We don't offer a single loan product; we curate the right product from the entire commercial lending universe for each transaction. The 100+ lender network includes: regional and national banks, credit unions, life insurance companies (best long-term fixed rates), Fannie Mae DUS lenders, Freddie Mac Optigo sellers, FHA/HUD MAP lenders, CMBS conduit issuers, debt funds, mortgage REITs, and private institutional capital sources. For straightforward stabilized deals at conservative leverage, this advisor model produces modestly better terms than going direct. For complex deals — value-add, special use property, transitional cash flow, multi-property portfolios, multi-source capital stacks, owner-occupied with bank statement income — the advisor model produces materially better outcomes than any single lender relationship can deliver: the deal goes to the lender most likely to price it best, plus structural improvements that compound over the life of the loan. --- ## About Dominick Prevete For 31 years, Dominick Prevete has worked in real estate — as an investor, broker, and capital advisor. That breadth of experience is what makes the Blue Sky advisor model work. Dominick has been in the borrower's seat closing acquisitions, navigating renovations, and structuring exits, and he's been on the capital side evaluating deals across every major property type and lender category in commercial real estate. Three of Dominick's children graduated from Morristown High School. Dominick has owned property in Morristown NJ. Blue Sky Capital Advisors is headquartered at 4 Sutton Ct, Hamburg, NJ 07419. Blue Sky operates alongside National Loan Provider, Dominick's residential investment-property financing brand (DSCR rental loans, fix-and-flip, ground-up construction, rental portfolio loans). Same founder, same commitment to investor-focused financing, two distinct brands serving different deal types. --- ## Commercial Real Estate Loans Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/commercial-loans Blue Sky arranges commercial real estate financing across every major property type: - **Retail**: Strip centers, anchored centers, freestanding retail, grocery-anchored, NNN single-tenant - **Office**: Class A/B/C office buildings, medical office, professional office, owner-occupied - **Industrial**: Warehouses, distribution, flex industrial, manufacturing, owner-occupied - **Mixed-Use**: Retail/residential, retail/office, urban infill, transit-oriented development - **Hospitality**: Limited-service hotels, full-service, extended stay, boutique - **Self-Storage**: Class A facilities, climate-controlled, value-add acquisitions - **Triple Net (NNN)**: Investment-grade tenants, single-tenant net lease - **Medical / Dental Office**: Owner-occupied, tenant-occupied, ambulatory surgery centers - **Auto / Gas Station**: Gas stations, convenience stores, car washes, auto service - **Special Use**: Religious, daycare, fitness, restaurants, marinas, funeral homes Loan programs include permanent/term loans (5/7/10/15/25/30 year fixed), CMBS conduit (non-recourse, 10-year fixed), life insurance company loans (best long-term rates), bridge loans (6-36 month value-add), construction loans (ground-up + construction-to-perm), bank statement loans (qualify on deposits not tax returns), no-doc/lite-doc asset-based loans. SBA 504/7(a) is a referral only: if SBA fits an owner-occupied purchase, Blue Sky will point the buyer to a bank that does SBA lending or a CDC in their state. Blue Sky does not place SBA loans. Loan sizes: $500K to $50M+. Maximum LTV typically 75-80% depending on property type. Minimum DSCR 1.20-1.25x for most stabilized programs. Amortization 25-30 years. Recourse and non-recourse both available. All 50 states. --- ## Multifamily Financing Blue Sky arranges multifamily financing from $150K to $50M+ across the full capital stack: - **Freddie Mac Conventional Small**: Stabilized 5-50 unit, $2M-$10M, up to 30-year amortization, non-recourse except standard carve-outs, 5/7/10/12/15 year fixed periods, 75-80% LTV amortizing, 1.25x minimum DSCR. Replaced Freddie Mac's retired Small Balance Loan program on April 15, 2026; the entry point moved from $1 million to $2 million, and Freddie's conventional suite now has no product beneath it - **Freddie Mac Fixed-Rate (large balance)**: $10M minimum, 5-10 year terms (up to 30 years if not purchased for securitization), up to 30-year amortization, non-recourse except standard carve-outs - **Fannie Mae Small Mortgage Loan**: 5+ units, no stated minimum but a practical floor around $2M in DUS lender appetite, 5-30 year fixed or variable, up to 80% LTV, 1.25x minimum DSCR, non-recourse with standard carve-outs - **Fannie Mae DUS**: typically $3M and up in practice, mid-market and larger multifamily, non-recourse with carve-outs - **FHA / HUD MAP**: Up to 35-year fixed-rate, up to 85% LTV, affordable and market-rate housing - **DSCR Multifamily**: 2-4 unit and 5+ unit, qualifies on rental income, no tax returns - **Multifamily Bridge**: 12-36 month value-add, lease-up, transitional cash flow - **Construction Loans**: Ground-up multifamily, construction-to-perm, FHA 221(d)(4) for affordable - **Bank Statement Multifamily**: Self-employed borrowers, 12-24 month bank statement programs - **Multifamily Portfolio Loans**: Bundle 5+ properties under one blanket mortgage For stabilized 5+ unit multifamily, agency execution (Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, FHA) typically produces the best long-term fixed rates available — often materially below conventional bank pricing. Knowing when to use agency vs. conventional is one of the most valuable distinctions a multifamily advisor brings to a deal. Sponsor eligibility is tested before the property is. Both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae executions apply a general standard of sponsor net worth at least equal to the loan amount and liquidity equal to roughly nine months of debt service — a test published on neither agency's product term sheets. A sponsor with a strong property and a thin balance sheet can be ineligible for agency financing before the property is underwritten at all. Agency execution runs roughly one to two weeks longer than a comparable bank loan; speed is rarely the reason to choose one over the other. --- ## How We Get Paid Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/how-we-get-paid Blue Sky Capital Advisors is compensated at closing. We never charge an upfront fee, an application fee, or a retainer. If your loan does not close, we are not paid. Who pays the fee depends on the execution. On some transactions the lender pays at closing. On others the fee is paid by the borrower from loan proceeds. Which applies is a function of the execution — agency, bank, and private credit each handle intermediary compensation differently — not a matter of our preference. You will know which before you sign anything. The fee source and amount are disclosed in writing before you commit to an execution. There is no scenario in which you learn how we are paid at the closing table. Does this affect what we recommend? No. We present every option we believe is available for your transaction, along with our recommendation. That recommendation reflects our best judgment about your interest, not how we are compensated on a given execution. We place across agency, bank, and private credit — no single lender or channel drives our business, and no execution pays us enough to be worth recommending the wrong one. --- ## West Palm Beach Multifamily Loans Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/west-palm-beach-multifamily-loans Blue Sky arranges multifamily financing in West Palm Beach and across Palm Beach County, FL — value-add and bridge transactions in the $1–5M range, with agency takeout when the property stabilizes. Closed Palm Beach County transactions include a $2,420,000 bridge loan for the acquisition and renovation of a 5-unit multifamily in North Palm Beach, FL (closed June 2025), a $4,894,000 acquisition + refinance across three commercial properties in West Palm Beach, FL, and a $1,612,000 cash-out refinance on a mixed office/retail property in West Palm Beach, FL. Market data on the page: Palm Beach County closed 61 multifamily (5+ unit) loans totaling $1.12 billion in 2025, spread across 37 different lenders; Florida statewide, 1,196 loans totaling $18.84 billion. The top of the county table is national agency shops and money-center banks averaging tens of millions per loan; the bottom is community banks and credit unions in the low single-digit millions; no single lender dominates the $1–5M middle. HMDA exempts temporary financing, so bridge and value-add transitional loans largely do not appear in these counts. Source: 2025 HMDA data (CFPB/FFIEC), retrieved July 16, 2026. --- ## Paterson, NJ Multifamily & Commercial Loans Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/paterson-nj Blue Sky arranges multifamily and commercial financing in Paterson, NJ — the pre-war brick walk-ups, 5–30 unit buildings, and mixed-use stock of Passaic County's value-add market. Closed Paterson work includes a $2,520,000 Freddie Mac Small Balance multifamily loan (30-year amortization, non-recourse agency execution) and a $1,100,000 refinance of a 6-unit multifamily building, closed May 2026. Market data on the page: Passaic County closed 92 multifamily (5+ unit) loans totaling $305.7 million in 2025 across 34 lenders, averaging $3.32 million per loan. 44 of those loans ($95.3 million) sit in the $1–5 million band — nearly half the county's multifamily market by count trades in Blue Sky's core middle-market lane. The 1–4 unit investor market underneath: 904 loans totaling $398.9 million, averaging $441,000. HMDA exempts temporary financing, so bridge and value-add transitional loans largely do not appear in these counts. Paterson operates a Rent Leveling ordinance (Chapter 381) capping annual increases on covered buildings — underwriting must run on legal rents, not listing rents. Source: 2025 HMDA data (CFPB/FFIEC), retrieved July 22, 2026. --- ## Hudson County, NJ Apartment Building Loans Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/hudson-county-apartment-loans Blue Sky Capital Advisors arranges and places financing on 5+ unit apartment buildings across Hudson County, New Jersey — Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne, Union City, and West New York — as value-add, bridge, and permanent execution drawn from 100+ bank and institutional lender relationships. Closed Hudson County work: a $975,000 four-family investment property in Jersey City, NJ. The county's local bank bench, from the same FFIEC Call Report data behind the NJ Bank CRE Lending Tracker (Q2 2026, data as of June 30, 2026): 4 New Jersey-chartered banks headquartered in Hudson County carry a meaningful apartment book — Provident Bank, Kearny Bank, BCB Community Bank, and Haven Savings Bank — holding $7.1 billion of multifamily loans between them, and every one of them sits at or above the interagency commercial real estate concentration monitoring level. Exceeding that level is not a violation, a cap, or a supervisory finding; it is the point at which examiners expect heightened commercial real estate risk management, and a bank above it is generally more selective about what it adds. For an owner whose loan matures in the next eighteen months, that makes "my bank will just renew it" a weaker assumption in Hudson County than it was three years ago — the building has not changed, the balance sheet holding the loan has. Call Report data is entity-level rather than property-level, so New York and Pennsylvania banks lending on Hudson County property, agency execution, and private credit funds appear nowhere in it. What places readily in Hudson County: stabilized 5–30 unit buildings with a clean rent roll; value-add acquisitions with a scoped renovation and a stabilization path; mixed-use with ground-floor retail and residential above; and refinances of maturing bank debt on stabilized property. What struggles: coverage that only works at pro-forma rents, deferred maintenance with no funded rehab budget, and sponsor liquidity that does not survive the post-closing reserve test. --- ## Essex County, NJ Apartment Building Loans Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/essex-county-apartment-loans Blue Sky Capital Advisors arranges and places financing on 5+ unit apartment buildings across Essex County, New Jersey — Newark, East Orange, Irvington, Bloomfield, and Montclair — as value-add, bridge, and permanent execution drawn from 100+ bank and institutional lender relationships. Closed Essex County work: a $5,550,000 bridge loan on a 20-unit Newark, NJ multifamily property, closed May 2026, placed with a non-bank private credit fund to pay off a construction loan on a timeline agency underwriting would not support and to season the property toward an agency permanent takeout. The county's local bank bench, from the same FFIEC Call Report data behind the NJ Bank CRE Lending Tracker (Q2 2026, data as of June 30, 2026): no New Jersey-chartered bank headquartered in Essex County carries a meaningful apartment book. Newark is the largest city in the state and the county's apartment stock is among the deepest in New Jersey, but the balance sheets financing it are headquartered elsewhere — elsewhere in New Jersey, out of state, or not on a bank balance sheet at all. The Essex County apartment lender set is therefore an out-of-county set by construction: New Jersey banks based elsewhere in the state, New York and Pennsylvania banks that lend on Essex County property but file as institutions of their home states, agency multifamily execution, and private credit funds. None of the last three appear in New Jersey Call Report data, which is why a database search reads this market as thinner than it is. Financing an Essex County apartment building is never a matter of walking into the local bank; it is a question of which out-of-county lenders have appetite and regulatory capacity this quarter. --- ## Passaic County, NJ Apartment Building Loans Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/passaic-county-apartment-loans Blue Sky Capital Advisors arranges and places financing on 5+ unit apartment buildings across Passaic County, New Jersey — Paterson, Clifton, Passaic, Wayne, and Hawthorne — mostly in the $1M–$5M band this market trades in, using private credit, Freddie Mac agency execution, bank debt, and bridge capital drawn from 100+ bank and institutional lender relationships. Closed Passaic County work, all three in Paterson: Blue Sky Capital Advisors arranged a $1,100,000 private credit refinance with a 30-year term on a six-unit apartment building at 191 W Broadway in Paterson, closing in May 2026; a $2,000,000 Freddie Mac loan on a nine-unit apartment building at 105 Lehigh Avenue in Paterson, closing in September 2025; and a $2,520,000 Freddie Mac small balance multifamily loan on an apartment property in Paterson. The county's local bank bench, from the same FFIEC Call Report data behind the NJ Bank CRE Lending Tracker: one New Jersey-chartered bank headquartered in Passaic County carries a meaningful apartment book, and it holds the largest multifamily book on any New Jersey bank balance sheet while sitting at or above the interagency commercial real estate concentration monitoring level and shrinking its total commercial real estate exposure year over year. Exceeding that monitoring level is not a violation, a cap, or a supervisory finding. Call Report data is entity-level rather than property-level, so out-of-state banks, agency execution, and private credit funds — which finance much of this county — appear nowhere in it. Market data on the page: Passaic County recorded 92 multifamily (5+ unit) loans totaling $305.7 million in 2025 across 34 lenders, averaging $3.32 million per loan, with 44 of those loans ($95.3 million) in the $1–5 million band. The 1–4 unit investor market underneath: 904 loans totaling $398.9 million, averaging $441,000. Paterson operates a Rent Leveling ordinance (Chapter 381) capping annual increases on covered buildings — underwriting must run on legal rents, not listing rents.

Closed Jersey City work includes a $975,000 4-family investment property. Market data on the page: Hudson County closed 185 multifamily (5+ unit) loans totaling $1.27 billion in 2025 across 59 lenders, averaging $6.86 million per loan. The $1–5 million band alone held 104 loans totaling $226.0 million — more loans by count than Palm Beach County's entire multifamily market the same year. The 1–4 unit investor market underneath: 1,475 loans totaling $817.1M, averaging $554,000 across 192 reporting lenders. HMDA exempts temporary financing, so bridge and value-add transitional loans largely do not appear in these counts. Jersey City's rent control ordinance (Chapter 260) covers most pre-1987 buildings with four or more units with CPI-based caps on annual increases — legal rents, not listing rents, drive underwriting. Source: 2025 HMDA data (CFPB/FFIEC); multifamily (5+ unit) figures retrieved July 22, 2026, 1–4 unit investor figures retrieved September 10, 2026. --- ## No Tax Return Commercial Loans (Owner-Occupied) Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/no-tax-return-commercial-loan Blue Sky arranges owner-occupied commercial real estate financing for self-employed small business owners who want to buy the building their business operates from but have been turned down by banks and the SBA. The core problem: a healthy business that writes off enough to keep its tax bill low shows little or no profit on its tax returns, and banks and SBA lenders read that as "can't repay" — even when deposits prove the business is thriving. That is a paperwork problem, not a creditworthiness problem. Instead of tax returns, this program qualifies the borrower on 12 months of business bank statements — the cash actually moving through the business. Common borrowers: owners profitable in reality but not on paper (heavy write-offs, low taxable income), owners tired of paying rent who want to own their location, businesses declined for an SBA 504/7(a) or conventional bank loan, and self-employed borrowers without clean two-year tax-return income. Loan parameters: - Loan amount: $400,000 – $2,000,000 - Property: Owner-occupied commercial real estate - Income documentation: 12 months of business bank statements; no tax returns required - Maximum LTV: up to 80% - Terms & amortization: 25-year and 30-year options, fully amortizing - Geography: financing arranged in all 50 states - Business-purpose loans only; not for primary residences How it works: (1) send 12 months of business bank statements — no tax returns; (2) Blue Sky sizes the deal on real cash flow and shops it across the lender network; (3) term sheet, then close. Interest rates, APRs, and monthly payments are not published — pricing depends on deal specifics and underwriting. --- ## Closed Transaction Track Record Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/transactions A selection of recent transactions Blue Sky Capital Advisors arranged across New Jersey and Florida — 15 closings carrying a published amount, $28.7M in total: **$5,550,000 — Newark, NJ**: Bridge loan on a 20-unit Newark multifamily property, closed May 2026 — 12-month term, interest-only, 65% LTV, placed with a non-bank private credit fund. The borrower needed to pay off a construction loan on a timeline agency underwriting wouldn't support, so the bridge bought 12 months to season the property to stabilization and present a clean package for an agency permanent takeout. **$4,894,000 — West Palm Beach, FL**: Acquisition and refinance combination on three commercial properties — two retail and one industrial — for a repeat client building a Florida commercial portfolio. Multi-property capital structure arranged across the Blue Sky network to deliver favorable pricing on the combined transaction. **$4,000,000 — Alys Beach, FL**: $4 million loan arranged for an investment property in Alys Beach — one of the most exclusive Gulf Coast luxury communities in Florida. Premium location requiring specialized lender appetite for high-end investment real estate. **$2,520,000 — Paterson, NJ**: Freddie Mac small balance loan execution on a New Jersey multifamily property. Long-term fixed rate, 30-year amortization, non-recourse on the agency program. Demonstrates the agency capital advantage on stabilized middle-market multifamily. **$2,420,000 — North Palm Beach, FL**: Bridge loan arranged for the acquisition and renovation of a 5-unit multifamily property in North Palm Beach, closed June 2025. The first leg of the bridge-to-agency path: short-term capital funds the reposition, with permanent placement structured once the property stabilizes. **$2,000,000 — Paterson, NJ**: Freddie Mac execution arranged and placed on a nine-unit multifamily building at 105 Lehigh Ave in Paterson, closed September 2025. Agency capital on stabilized small-balance Passaic County stock — the middle-market walk-up lane this market runs on. **$1,612,000 — West Palm Beach, FL**: Cash-out refinance on a mixed office and retail commercial property. 30-year fixed rate execution providing long-term financing certainty plus equity proceeds for the borrower's next acquisition. **$1,100,000 — Paterson, NJ**: Refinance of a six-unit multifamily building at 191 W Broadway in Paterson, closed May 2026. Private credit execution on a 30-year term. Another Paterson closing squarely in the $1–5M small-balance lane this market runs on — arranged and placed across the Blue Sky lender network. **$975,000 — Jersey City, NJ**: Four-family investment property financing in Jersey City. Small balance multifamily execution demonstrating Blue Sky's range — from $975K small multifamily through $50M+ institutional with the same advisor relationship. **$787,000 — Auburndale, FL**: Owner-occupied warehouse acquisition financed via bank statement program — no tax returns required. Demonstrates the alternative documentation programs available for self-employed business owners with strong properties but limited tax return income. **$750,000 — Madeira Beach, FL**: Permanent term loan refinancing the original $510,000 bridge loan from September 2023. 30-year fixed on a stabilized 4-unit rental property. The bridge-to-perm progression illustrates the value-add lifecycle in action. **$600,000 — Plainfield, NJ**: Purchase financing arranged on a grocery store and mixed-use building at 600-606 Berckman St in Plainfield, closed October 2024. The buyer's own business operates in the building, so this is an owner-occupied commercial execution rather than an investor placement — the small-balance Union County lane where the borrower's operating business, not a rent roll, carries the file. **$510,000 — Madeira Beach, FL**: Initial bridge loan that enabled the Madeira Beach 4-unit rental acquisition in September 2023. Held during stabilization and refinanced into the $750,000 permanent term loan eight months later. Same property, two separate Blue Sky executions. **$507,000 — Haines City, FL**: Owner-occupied retail purchase — 11,000 square foot Dollar General property in Haines City. 30-year fixed rate, no tax returns required. Bank statement program execution for an investor with strong real estate but complex tax situation. **$475,000 — West New York, NJ**: Purchase financing arranged on an office building at 635 56th St in West New York, closed March 2024. The buyer is a healthcare company taking occupancy of its own building, so the file underwrote to an operating business rather than to a rent roll — the small-balance Hudson County owner-occupied lane. **Rockaway, NJ**: Owner-occupied office purchase financed via small business bank statement loan. 30-year fixed rate, no tax returns required. Standard execution for the bank statement program — qualifying on business deposits rather than personal income documentation. **Delray Beach, FL**: Bridge loan on free-standing retail building with 30-day close requirement. 12-month interest-only, no prepayment penalty — giving the borrower flexibility on the eventual permanent refinance. Demonstrates Blue Sky's bridge speed when timeline matters. --- ## Morristown NJ Commercial Financing Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/morristown-nj Morristown is one of the strongest commercial real estate markets in Morris County. Average commercial rent is approximately $27.06 per square foot, with premium properties commanding up to $30 per square foot — among the strongest commercial rent metrics in Morris County. Office space dominates the inventory (roughly 80% of available commercial real estate vs. typical market average of 53%). Retail and mixed-use opportunities along South Street, Speedwell Avenue, and the Morristown Green corridor attract investor interest. The 2026 NJ commercial real estate outlook is bullish on multifamily and mixed-use — exactly the asset classes Morristown is positioned to deliver. Morristown sits on NJ Transit's Midtown Direct line — direct one-seat ride to Penn Station Manhattan in approximately 50 minutes. This rail access is the most important factor shaping Morristown commercial real estate demand. Class A office vacancies remain consistently lower than peer Morris County markets without direct NYC rail access. Personal connection: Three of Dominick's children graduated from Morristown High School. Dominick has owned property in Morristown. That hands-on local market knowledge translates into how we underwrite Morristown commercial deals. Morristown sub-markets we know intimately: Morristown Green and walking-distance downtown, South Street retail/restaurant corridor, Speedwell Avenue commercial and mixed-use, Madison Avenue office corridor, Headquarters Plaza office complex, Spring Street multifamily and mixed-use, Whippany/Hanover industrial extension, Florham Park/Madison commercial border. --- ## Why Choose an Advisor Over a Direct Lender Direct lenders offer their own loan products with their own underwriting box. If your deal fits, you get an approval. If it doesn't, you accept worse terms or get declined. The bank isn't doing anything wrong — they're just one institution with one set of programs. But they're also not your advocate. Advisors have the entire lender universe. Blue Sky's job is to evaluate your deal across 100+ lenders simultaneously and find the one whose specific appetite matches your specific deal. For complex deals, this often means finding capital that no individual lender would have suggested but that fits the deal perfectly. For straightforward deals with stabilized property, strong sponsor, and conservative leverage, many lenders compete and pricing converges. The advisor still adds value through speed and lender selection, but the spread between best-execution and average-execution is modest. For complex deals — value-add, special use, transitional cash flow, multi-property portfolios, capital stacks involving senior and mezzanine debt, owner-occupied with bank statement income — the spread between best-execution and what a single lender would have offered is often material, and it compounds over the life of the loan. The value is created by simply matching the deal to the capital source most likely to price it best. The lender network we work with is not a list of phone numbers — it's three decades of relationships with specific underwriters, specific credit officers, specific decision-makers at each institution. We know which Freddie Mac DUS lender will compete hardest for a New Jersey middle-market multifamily deal. Which life insurance company has open allocation for medical office buildings this quarter. Which CMBS conduit is hungry for stabilized retail. Those distinctions are what produce best-execution consistently. --- ## What Borrowers Can Expect An initial conversation about the deal — property, capital need, timeline, and your specific situation. Within 24 hours, Dominick sizes up your deal — which lenders fit, how he'd structure it, and what it takes to close. From there, full execution from documentation through closing — with Blue Sky as your single point of contact across the entire process. We don't disappear once a lender is chosen. We close the deal. What we deliver: best-execution pricing across the full lender universe, speed when timeline matters (bridge in 7-14 days), programs others don't offer (bank statement, no-doc, asset-based), capital stack design (senior plus mezzanine, multi-source), one point of contact from first call through closing, 31 years of underwriter relationships at every major lender type. What we don't do: force every deal into the same loan product, disappear once a lender is chosen, push borrowers toward higher-margin programs that don't fit, hand off your deal to junior staff after the initial call, take a deal we know we can't get done. --- ## Sister Brand: National Loan Provider For residential investment property — single-family DSCR rental loans, 2-4 unit small multifamily, fix-and-flip projects, ground-up construction, rental portfolio loans — Dominick founded National Loan Provider, which arranges investor financing placed across 100+ lenders. National Loan Provider operates from its Sparta, NJ office (25 Main Street, Unit B), same founder, but with a streamlined, program-based execution built for speed rather than the advisory approach.

Current edition: Q2 2026 (data as of June 30, 2026; retrieved September 3, 2026; next update expected with Q3 2026 data). Key Q2 2026 findings: New Jersey's 50 chartered banks hold $79.0 billion of commercial real estate loans ($31.2 billion multifamily, $8.0 billion construction). Seventeen of the 35 NJ banks with CRE books above $50 million are at or above the 300% interagency monitoring criterion, and those 17 institutions hold $72.4 billion — 92% — of all CRE on NJ-chartered bank balance sheets. Ten of the 35 shrank their CRE books year-over-year while eleven grew 10% or more. One NJ bank is at or above the separate 100% construction-loan criterion. Exceeding a supervisory monitoring criterion is not a violation or a finding about any institution's condition; see the page's disclaimer and methodology. Methodology and full definitions: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/nj-bank-cre-lending/methodology Downloadable dataset (CSV, all 50 institutions): https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/data/nj-bank-cre-data-20260630.csv --- ## National Bank CRE Lending Data Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/bank-cre-lending The question this page answers: which banks are still lending on multifamily and commercial real estate, nationally? The same Call Report method as the NJ Bank CRE Lending Tracker, applied to every FDIC-insured bank. Current edition: Q2 2026 (data as of June 30, 2026; retrieved October 12, 2026; next update expected with Q3 2026 data). Totals: all 4,313 FDIC-insured banks held $670.3 billion of multifamily loans at June 30, 2026, up from $647.4 billion a year earlier (+3.5%). Total CRE (construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied commercial) was $2,361.1 billion, up from $2,306.2 billion (+2.4%). Aggregate totals across all filers are merger-neutral. Like for like (1,090 banks with a multifamily book of $25 million or more a year ago, filed at both dates, no merger in the window), grouped by CRE concentration a year ago: below 200%, 355 banks grew 7.3% ($286.5B to $307.6B); 200%–299%, 451 banks grew 6.2% ($119.8B to $127.2B); 300% and over, 284 banks shrank 2.6% ($138.2B to $134.6B), though 169 of those 284 grew their books. The largest single decline in the 300%-and-over group, as filed, was Flagstar Bank, N.A.: $31.9B to $26.9B of multifamily loans (−$5.0B); excluding it, the group grew 1.3%. By state (headquarters state, banks under $100 billion in assets, 43 states with at least $5 billion of bank CRE ranked): 25.0% of bank CRE nationally sits at banks at or above 300%. New Jersey ranks first at 91.7% and New York second at 61.2%. 17 of New Jersey's 35 banks with CRE books over $50 million are at or above 300%, against 368 of 2,233 nationally. Trend: banks with CRE books over $50 million at or above 300% numbered 429 at June 30, 2023, 403 at June 30, 2025, 379 at March 31, 2026 and 368 at June 30, 2026; the share of all bank CRE held at banks at or above 300% was 22.6%, 19.7%, 17.5% and 16.9% on the same dates. None of the 32 banks with $100 billion or more in assets is at 300%. Exceeding the 300% criterion is a supervisory monitoring level, not a limit, a violation, or a finding about any institution's condition.

Methodology and full definitions: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/bank-cre-lending/methodology Downloadable dataset (CSV, every FDIC-insured bank): https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/data/national-bank-cre-data-20260630.csv --- ## Why an Apartment Loan Gets Declined Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/why-apartment-loan-declined The question this page answers: why was my apartment building loan declined when the rent roll was strong and the leverage was modest? Usually the answer is debt yield, and behind it, whose net operating income the file was underwritten on. A lender does not underwrite the owner's operating statement — it applies a management fee whether or not the owner pays one, deducts replacement reserves per unit, and marks vacancy to the market rather than to the building's current roll. The income the lender sizes against is therefore lower than the income the owner sees, and a request that looked modest against the owner's numbers can fail against the lender's. Debt yield compounds this because it takes no borrower input at all: it is the net operating income divided by the loan amount, so a longer amortization moves debt-service coverage and leaves debt yield exactly where it was. What that means practically: a decline is often a sizing outcome rather than a judgment about the borrower or the building, and the fix is usually structural — a smaller request, a different capital source, or a bridge sized to the story with the permanent execution arranged for after stabilization. Blue Sky Capital Advisors explains which test failed, what the decline actually means, and what changes the answer. The paired tool is the multifamily loan sizer below, which runs the same tests before an application is paid for. --- ## Multifamily Loan Sizer Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/multifamily-loan-sizer A free apartment-loan sizing tool. It runs the two tests a lender runs — debt-service coverage and loan-to-value — shows which of the two binds first, and reports the debt yield at the result. No login is required, and the PDF summary downloads without an email. Its point of difference is the net operating income it sizes against: the tool separates the lender's NOI from the owner's, applying a management fee, replacement reserves, and market vacancy, which is where owner estimates and lender sizing usually diverge and where most surprises in an apartment loan application originate. An owner can therefore see, before paying for an appraisal or an application anywhere, which constraint is limiting proceeds on a specific building and by how much. Blue Sky Capital Advisors arranges and places the financing itself across 100+ bank and institutional lender relationships; the sizer is the free front end to that conversation. --- ## Florida Commercial & Multifamily Financing Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/florida Blue Sky Capital Advisors' Florida hub. Office, retail, industrial, multifamily, and bridge capital arranged across West Palm Beach, Tampa, Miami, and the rest of the state, from $500K to $50M+, placed across the same 100+ lender network that serves the New Jersey practice. Closed Florida transactions include a $4,894,000 acquisition and refinance across three commercial properties in West Palm Beach, FL, a $2,420,000 bridge loan for the acquisition and renovation of a 5-unit multifamily in North Palm Beach, FL, and a $1,612,000 cash-out refinance on a mixed office and retail property in West Palm Beach, FL. The West Palm Beach page (above) covers the Palm Beach County multifamily market in depth, including the county's 2025 HMDA lender picture. --- ## Commercial Bridge Loans Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/bridge-loans Bridge loans are short-term capital for time-sensitive commercial real estate situations: value-add acquisitions where stabilized financing is not yet available, lease-up on new construction, transitional cash flow during renovation, pre-permanent capital while an agency execution is arranged, and any deal where a 7-30 day close decides whether the buyer wins the property. Sizes run $500K to $50M+, interest-only, with no-prepayment-penalty structures available and no tax returns on most programs. Six situations where bridge is the right structure: speed-critical acquisitions on a seller timeline traditional financing cannot meet; value-add renovation and lease-up before a property qualifies for permanent terms; pre-permanent capital ahead of a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae execution; an existing commercial loan reaching maturity; cash-out against appreciated value; and repositioning where the current cash flow will not support permanent debt yet. The strategic use is bridge-to-permanent, and Blue Sky has executed it end to end. Madeira Beach, FL, 4-unit rental: a $510,000 bridge funded September 2023 captured a time-sensitive acquisition with interest-only payments through stabilization, then a $750,000 permanent 30-year fixed term loan funded May 2024 with cash-out proceeds toward the next acquisition — eight months apart, one advisor relationship across both phases. Delray Beach, FL, owner-occupied free-standing retail: a non-negotiable 30-day seller deadline met with a 12-month interest-only bridge and no prepayment penalty, leaving the borrower free to refinance the moment the permanent execution was ready. --- ## New Jersey Multifamily Loans (Statewide) Page: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/new-jersey-multifamily-loans The statewide entry point above the county and city pages. Blue Sky arranges and structures multifamily financing for New Jersey apartment buildings — bridge and value-add capital, DSCR programs, and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae agency placement. The core of the practice is 5-30 unit buildings in the $1-5 million range: the North Jersey walk-ups, 4-families, and mid-market apartment properties that sit between residential lending and institutional capital. Why New Jersey buildings underwrite differently: the demand side is straightforward, because North Jersey sits on top of the largest labor market in the country and every NJ Transit and PATH corridor town draws renters who work in Manhattan but will not pay Manhattan rents. The hard part is financing buildings correctly in a state where the stock, the taxes, and the regulations vary block by block. County by county the deals differ. Hudson County — Jersey City, Bayonne, Union City, West New York — is PATH-corridor territory: dense pre-war stock, 4-family frame buildings, and mixed-use with ground-floor retail at the strongest rents in the state. Passaic County — Paterson, Passaic, Clifton — runs on pre-war walk-ups and 5-30 unit brick buildings where value-add investors reposition. New Jersey is a bank-dominated state, so the binding constraint varies more by lender than sponsors expect. Closed in New Jersey: a $2,520,000 Freddie Mac small balance multifamily loan in Paterson, long-term fixed with 30-year amortization and non-recourse on the agency program; a $975,000 4-family in Jersey City; and an owner-occupied office purchase in Rockaway financed on a bank statement loan, 30-year fixed, qualifying on business deposits rather than personal income documentation. --- ## Additional Blue Sky Pages - About Blue Sky Capital Advisors: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/about — the advisory model, the lender network behind it, and how a deal is structured and placed rather than fitted to a single balance sheet. - Dominick Prevete (founder profile): https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/dominick-prevete — 31 years in real estate finance, over $2 billion in sales volume led, 100+ bank and institutional lender relationships. - Referral Partners: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/referral-partners — referral partnership for commercial bankers, CPAs, attorneys, residential loan officers, commercial real estate agents, and property managers; the client relationship stays with the referring partner, in writing. - Commercial Loan & Balloon Calculator: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/commercial-loan-calculator — model term separately from amortization, add an interest-only period, and see the balloon at maturity alongside an NOI-driven DSCR. - Price Your Loan: https://blueskycapitaladvisors.com/price-your-loan — the structured intake for a commercial, multifamily, or bridge transaction.
