Frequently Asked Questions About RC

What does RC invest in?

Ready Capital Corporation is a U.S.-based entity primarily engaged in the real estate finance sector. Its business activities encompass the procurement, generation, administration, servicing, and funding of various loan types, including commercial loans of small to moderate value (SBC loans), those guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA loans), and residential mortgages. Additionally, it deals in mortgage-backed securities, predominantly supported by SBC loans or other property-linked financial instruments. The organization conducts its operations through three distinct divisions: SBC Lending and Acquisitions: This division, leveraging its subsidiary ReadyCap Commercial, LLC, creates SBC loans. These loans are typically collateralized by investor properties, whether stable or undergoing transition, and are sourced via multiple origination avenues. Small Business Lending: Operating through ReadyCap Lending, LLC, this segment focuses on the acquisition, generation, and servicing of owner-occupied loans. These are secured by guarantees from the SBA, specifically under its Section 7(a) Program. Residential Mortgage Banking: Via its subsidiary GMFS, LLC, this division is responsible for initiating residential mortgage loans. For federal income tax considerations, the company holds the designation of a real estate investment trust (REIT). Consequently, it typically avoids federal corporate income taxation, provided it disburses a minimum of 90% of its taxable earnings to its shareholders. Historically, the firm operated as Sutherland Asset Management Corporation before adopting the name Ready Capital Corporation in September 2018. Established in 2007, its main office is situated in New York City, New York.
