A.S.K. Investments Inc.
A.S.K. Investments Inc. is a private lender that makes business-purpose loans secured by real estate, using its own criteria rather than a bank’s. As of November 2026, its website, askinvestments.com, lists property types such as apartments, offices, churches, motels and 1-4 unit homes. It doesn’t publish rates, fees or loan sizes. Our directory lists it in Stanton, California.
What A.S.K. Investments offers
- Business-purpose real estate loans: The site names apartments, auto body shops, churches, commercial and industrial buildings, offices, land, mixed-use and medical buildings, motels, retail property, and 1-4 unit homes.
- Private underwriting: The company says it lends on its own criteria and makes quick decisions for qualified applicants. It gives no timeline.
- How to apply: An online form on the site, or by phone at 800-834-6544.
- Not published: Interest rates, points, loan-to-value limits, loan amounts and terms. You’ll need to ask for these.
Who it may suit, and who should look elsewhere
Right for you if:
- You need financing on a business or investment property that a bank turned down.
- You have solid equity in the property and a plan to repay, such as a sale or a later refinance.
Not right for you if:
- You want a loan for personal or household use. The site lists business-purpose loans only.
- You want to see pricing before you call.
- You can’t afford to lose the property if the loan goes wrong.
Before you apply
We couldn’t find a license number on the company’s website. Ask A.S.K. Investments for its California license number before you share financial details. Then look it up in the California Department of Real Estate license lookup. Our guide on how to check if a lender is licensed walks through the other state databases.
Private real estate loans are priced deal by deal, so get a written quote. It should show the interest rate, points, other fees, the term, any balloon payment and any prepayment penalty. Compare that quote with at least one bank or SBA lender if your business might qualify. Our business loans guide covers those options, and our page on secured vs. unsecured loans explains what pledging property means if payments stop.
