On this week’s episode of Breaking into CRE, I am joined by Alex Leykind to discuss buying commercial real estate (CRE) with SBA Loan Programs. The SBA has 2 types of loan programs to help small businesses expand and grow. Many people know the loan funds can be used for equipment, operational expenses and working capital. However, we wanted to dive into the purchase of Commercial Real Estate!

Alex Leykind is the Managing Director at Equitas Capital Group based out of New York City with the capacity to fund throughout the United States. Alex has been in the business for more than 18 years and has funded multi-million dollar deals for the purchase of retail spaces, warehouses, standalone buildings, multi-family properties, etc.
