Editorial Policy and Disclosures
Lender Tribune publishes guides, lender reviews and a lender directory for real estate investors and business owners. This page explains how we produce content, how we make money and how we label it.
Who writes our content
Content is written or edited by Greg Wilson, publisher of Lender Tribune and a commercial loan broker with Tribune Funding. Some drafts are prepared with AI writing tools; every article is reviewed and edited by a person before it is published.
Where our information comes from
- Lenders’ own websites, program guides and rate matrices.
- Term sheets and guidelines lenders share with brokers.
- Public data sources and industry reports, cited in the article.
- First-hand experience placing commercial and investor loans.
Lender reviews show the date they were last verified. Figures we could not confirm with the lender are labeled.
How we make money
- Loan requests: Lender Tribune and Tribune Funding share common ownership. Loan requests submitted on this site may be handled by Tribune Funding, which can earn a fee if a loan closes.
- Sponsored content: Lenders may pay for articles or featured directory placement. These carry a Sponsored label at the top, and outbound links in them are marked as sponsored.
- Affiliate links: Some links to products and services are affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you.
Editorial independence
Payment can buy placement and a sponsored article, not a rating or a favorable comparison in our independent reviews. Lenders featured in reviews do not approve or edit them before publication.
Corrections and updates
Loan terms change often. If you see an error or outdated information, contact us and we will review and correct it. Updated articles show the date of the last revision.
Nothing on Lender Tribune is financial, legal or tax advice. Confirm all rates, terms and eligibility directly with the lender before you apply.
