WHAT WE DO
Since the inception of the first six USAF funds in 1986, we have purchased in excess of $4 Billion in SBA and USDA guaranteed loans. Thomas USAF Group buys banks’ loans guaranteed by government agencies like SBA and USDA. While the fund emphasizes loans guaranteed by USDA under their B&I and CF Loan Programs and SBA 504 Guaranteed 1st Mortgages, it also purchases SBA 7(a) loans selectively. Thomas USAF Group, like its sister USAF funds, is a leading buyer of USDA guaranteed loans.
