commercial lending: UNDERSTANDING COMMERCIAL MORTGAGES-THE WHAT - 06/03/11 08:08 AM
WHAT? What takes commercial deals so much longer than residential loans to close? Rare is the commercial loan that closes in less than 1 month and the rate for those quick-close deals is much higher. Small commercial loans will usually take 2 months and large commercial loans can take as much as 4-6 months or more! Many factors go into this-the appraisal, the broker themselves, the title, and especially the borrower. Let’s start with an appraisal. It will rarely be ordered before the loan is approved and the borrower has committed. This could be weeks into the deal.Once ordered, an appraisal

commercial lending: $850,000 Mixed Use Purchase-SBA 504 Loan - 03/28/11 08:32 AM
Where: San Francisco, CA Type: This was the purchase of a building and land by the Restaurant that occupied it. Typically a simple 504 transaction however this deal had some wrinkles-what deal doesn’t today? The first was that the father was selling it to the children which some lenders will not consider. In addition, the restaurant had not been opened two years and it was not an SBA approved franchise restaurant. Still, it had good numbers, was very successful, and the operators had good credit and enough assets for the money down. In the end, we closed it in 60

commercial lending: More Great News! SBA (504) Ref Loan - 03/10/11 09:15 AM
Under the recent Small Business Jobs Act $15 billion is now available for debt refinance under the 504 program. It took a while for the SBA to implement it but the regs are now out. This is huge for those doing 504 loans because it allows refinancing up to 90%! To be eligible, the property must be owner occupied, (at least 51%), and have a non-SBA loan coming due before 1/1/2013. For properties that have lost value over the last few years, this loan can be a HUGE! Many property owners are getting calls from their current bank lenders saying, due to

commercial lending: Understanding Cap Rate in Relation to Commercial Lending - 02/14/11 10:05 AM
Understanding CAP Rates can Make you Money! A lot of times you will hear people talk about CAP rates in commercial lending. When I first started doing commercial, I didn’t understand it and asked a bunch of lender reps. Very few lender reps even understood it. They just had a basic idea. But I assure you, underwriters know about CAP rates – and if you want to close a lot of commercial loans, you better know about it as well. The CAP rate; or capitalization rate, is the relationship of the net operating income (NOI) of the property divided by

The National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries, or NCREIF, reported this week that commercial property returns had jumped sharply in the fourth quarter of 2010. The NCREIF Property Index (NPI), which measures unlevered returns on core property investments by its data contributing members, jumped up by 4.62% in total return, including a 3.02% quarterly burst in capital appreciation along with 1.60% in income return. That follows on quarterly total returns of 3.86% in 2010q3 and 3.31% in 2010q2; the NPI also showed positive total return of 0.76% in 2010q1, but property values were still going down at that time, with

What we are focusing on in 2011 Part 2 PRIVATE HEDGE FUND LENDING Mostly for deals under $500K. This is private money and the only deals under $500K that I will do for a branch in 2011.

We prefer no more than 60% LTV and we need a good exit strategy and as long as we have those, we will look at any deal. We issue one term sheet which is the commitment and

commercial lending: The Difference Between Bridge loans, Private Loans and Hard Money - 01/06/11 05:01 PM
I see a lot of confusion amongst people when referring to the above types of loans, they are intermingled constantly. Let me try to share the key differences and what is available. These loans are hot right now and we are closing a lot of them but you need to know what is what. Bridge Loans: Bridge loans are just that, interim loans to “bridge” the gap between the current situation and the exit strategy. Bridge loans typically have some cash flow but for some reason, will not qualify for conventional lending right now. You see these mostly on investment properties.

commercial lending: What is a Yield Maintenance Pre-Payment Penalty - 11/27/10 03:28 PM
Yield Maintenance is a prepayment penalty that, in the event the borrower pays off a loan before maturity, allows the lender to attain the same yield as if the borrower had made all scheduled mortgage payments until maturity. Yield maintenance premiums are designed to make lenders indifferent to an early prepayment by a borrower. On the flip side, it can mean that if a borrower currently has a 9.5% rate on its mortgage with 5 or 6 years to go until maturity, at this time the penalty could well be huge. For example, let’s assume a 15-year interest-only $1,000,000 mortgage at 7%.
