Wakarusa Valley Development is a 504-only lender, focusing entirely on real estate and equipment financing, which is evident from their 100% 504 share compared to the national average of about 18%. This specialization makes them a strong choice for established businesses looking to expand or upgrade.
The average deal size of $587,728 indicates that Wakarusa Valley Development is well-suited for businesses seeking significant funding, particularly in the $150K to $1M range where they have completed 84 deals. If your financing needs fall within this range, they could be a good fit.
Despite their strong focus on 504 loans, Wakarusa Valley Development has experienced an 11% decline in year-over-year deal volume. This trend may suggest a tightening of lending criteria or reduced market activity, which could affect your chances of approval.
