Why investors and builders choose Front Street
Competitive rates and flexible financing structures are why many borrowers choose Front Street. We analyze each deal with a CPA's rigor, structure it around how investors and builders actually operate, and take it to the financing source that fits.
CPA-led underwriting
Tax returns, financial statements, entity structures and cash flow are analyzed before a lender sees the file, so issues get solved up front instead of at closing.
Term sheets on select programs
For spec construction, DSCR rental, residential bridge and fix-and-flip loans, our underwriting capabilities allow us to evaluate transactions and issue term sheets directly.
Extensive lending relationships
For more complex financing, we structure the opportunity and present it across hundreds of lending sources, including banks, credit unions, life insurance companies and private capital providers.
Competitive rates, flexible structures
Because we aren't tied to one institution, each deal goes to the sources whose pricing and requirements fit it, with a file that's ready to underwrite.

An accountant's eye on every deal
Dustin Shively, CPA, is an accomplished public accountant with more than 20 years of experience navigating the complex landscape of finance, taxation, and business strategy.
This focus on real estate and commercial financing was sparked by a perceived lack of creativity in the financing industry, an inadequate educational focus on available programs, and restricted client access to a comprehensive network of financial outlets.
Dustin has been consistently proactive in bridging these gaps. He has cultivated a robust network of financial institutions, capitalizing on the latest and most effective financial products while assembling a talented team of accountants dedicated to devising creative capital structures to secure the most favorable – and innovative – deals for their clients.
