Ohio’s commercial lending market is active, diverse, and underwriting-driven. Capital is available across community, regional, and national lenders, but underwriting remains conservative. Lenders emphasize cash-flow durability, borrower strength, and market-specific fundamentals rather than speculative growth strategies.
Industrial and logistics properties are among the most lender-favored asset classes statewide, particularly along major interstate corridors and near manufacturing hubs. Stable demand and long-term use cases support underwriting.
Owner-occupied properties remain highly financeable, especially when backed by established operating businesses with consistent historical cash flow.
Stabilized multifamily can underwrite well when occupancy and collections are solid. Workforce and mid-market housing typically finance more smoothly than luxury Class A product.
Service-based and necessity retail (medical offices, grocery-anchored centers, professional services) continues to attract lender interest when tenancy is durable.
Office is underwritten cautiously, especially older downtown and suburban buildings with elevated vacancy.
Value-add and transitional deals face tighter leverage and higher equity requirements, particularly when reliant on aggressive lease-up or rent growth assumptions.
Hospitality can be financeable, but lenders closely review seasonality, operating margins, and exposure to economic cycles.
Columbus: One of the most lender-active markets, supported by government, education, and corporate growth. Strong appetite for industrial, owner-occupied, and stabilized multifamily assets.
Cleveland: Financing is available for industrial and essential-use properties, with cautious treatment of office assets.
Cincinnati: Viewed as stable and diversified, with lender interest across industrial, multifamily, and essential-use assets.
Secondary and rural markets: Financing is more relationship-driven, with conservative leverage and emphasis on essential-use properties.
Community and regional banks are very active and relationship-focused, often offering competitive terms for stabilized assets.
Credit unions can be competitive for owner-occupied and smaller-balance loans.
National and institutional lenders participate selectively, typically for larger, stabilized assets in primary markets.
Debt funds and non-bank lenders fill gaps for transitional or higher-leverage deals, usually at higher cost.
Industry diversification is a strength, but lenders still stress tenant and borrower exposure to cyclical sectors.
Expense control is closely reviewed, including taxes, utilities, and maintenance.
Sponsor experience and liquidity often matter as much as property-level metrics.
A strong Ohio loan request typically includes conservative leverage, stable historical NOI, experienced sponsorship, and clear alignment with local economic demand.
Deals built on aggressive rent growth, rapid repositioning, or speculative assumptions tend to struggle.
Ohio is a capital-available but underwriting-driven lending market. Industrial, owner-occupied, stabilized multifamily, and essential-use properties offer the clearest paths to financing, while office, hospitality, and transitional projects face tighter terms.
