About
Idaho Mutual Trust began lending on commercial real estate in 2003. We are a private finance company, specializing in loans for commercial real estate. We do not provide loans to consumers or for consumer purposes. All of our loans must be secured by a deed of trust on property. Previous loans include construction, rehabilitation, special use properties, acquisition, raw land, and development projects. Our loan maturities are typically for between 6 and 24 months. Payments are typically interest only, due monthly. We are a direct lender. We are not brokers. We have funded and/or serviced in excess of $200 million in loans in our history. Our professional staff includes financial experts as well as commercial real estate experts that understand the complex aspects of commercial real estate. From short term lending to permanent financing, Idaho Mutual Trust professionals are ready to help with any commercial real estate transaction.
