Fore! ⛳️ Four members of the Rise Property Brokers team hit the course last week for the inaugural Birdies & Blessings Golf Tournament!

It was a great day filled with good golf, even better company, and the opportunity to give back to our community. We’re always grateful for a little friendly competition for a great cause! 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️

🏢 Do you know of a Daycare ready for a Building of Its own?

A growing daycare center may have more options to purchase real estate than many providers realize.

North Dakota offers several financing and incentive programs that may help qualified childcare businesses acquire, renovate, and equip a permanent facility.

✅ Bank of North Dakota Flex PACE
May provide substantial interest-rate assistance for qualifying childcare projects, helping reduce the long-term cost of purchasing real estate.

✅ North Dakota Development Fund Child Care Loan Program
Offers flexible financing that may be used to purchase, renovate, or expand a childcare facility.

✅ North Dakota HHS Child Care Grants
Certain programs may help pay for eligible renovations, accessibility improvements, equipment, startup expenses, or the creation of additional childcare spaces.

✅ Local Economic Development Assistance
Cities, counties, development corporations, and local employers may offer matching funds or other support when a project creates jobs and helps address a community childcare shortage.

In some cases, a daycare may be able to combine:

• A traditional commercial real estate loan
• State-supported financing
• Interest-rate assistance
• Local economic development funding
• Grants for eligible improvements and equipment

These programs should be explored before purchasing a property or beginning renovations, as advance approval may be required.

Purchasing a facility can help a growing daycare build equity, control occupancy costs, expand enrollment, and create a long-term home for the business.

Looking for a property that could work for your daycare center?

📩 Contact Jon Lee with Rise Property Brokers to discuss available commercial properties and determine whether purchasing a facility could be the right next step for your business.

Commercial real estate is about more than buildings, lease rates, and square footage. It is about understanding how a business operates inside the space.

With more than 35 years of experience owning, managing, and franchising small businesses, I bring a business owner’s perspective to every commercial real estate transaction.

I understand the importance of location, visibility, customer access, operating costs, staffing, cash flow, future growth, and the many risks business owners consider before making a real estate decision.

Whether a client is buying, selling, leasing, investing, or expanding, my goal is to help them evaluate the opportunity through both a real estate lens and a business lens.

Experience matters, especially when your real estate decision can shape the future of your business.
