commercial loans: 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 … (3 comments)

commercial loans: THE 4 Most Common Commercial Mortgage Mistakes-Mistake 1 - 05/14/11 01:03 PM
Investment (ROI). In buying or selling commercial real estate, the financing can make or break the deal. The best commercial mortgage for you is the one that maximizes your ROI. It seems obvious, but when it comes to shopping for a commercial mortgage it is stunning how little attention to profitability the average investor makes. In fact, I see the same mistakes over and over and often these mistakes lower, or even wipe out, the entire return on the investment. Over the Next 4 weeks I will look at the 4 most common mistakes people make when choosing a commercial mortgage … (0 comments)

commercial loans: HELP YOUR CLIENTS TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR DESTINY! - 03/17/11 08:19 AM
With a 401K/IRA Rollover product. I had a client that had the desire to open a Firehouse Subs and build something for her future. Problem was, she did not have the experience and collateral combination needed to get an unsecured business loan for the restaurant start-up (something I do a lot of for Firehouse Subs). But, she DID have a 401K with $300,000 in it which had done almost nothing for the prior 10 years and that is about what you need to open one of these from concept to opening day. We rolled the 401K over into a Self-Directed IRA … (3 comments)

commercial loans: 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.

For properties that have lost value over the last few years, this loan can be a HUGE!

commercial loans: 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 … (3 comments)

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.

Albuquerque, New Mexico
Borrower came to us after being turned down elsewhere. They needed to pull cash out of an existing property in order to take advantage of another amazing opportunity and finance some needed improvements. Appraisal came in low and we ended up needing to cross collateralize another property in order to make this deal work. We ended up closing this unique cash out opportunity with rates in the 5′s, fixed for 7 yrs., and amortized over 30 years!

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. … (1 comments)

commercial loans: 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%. … (0 comments)
