There are many options when it comes to commercial real estate lenders. Level 4 Funding helps you understand the different types and the lender that is best for your business.
Today it’s much easier to obtain a loan in other ways than just applying for a loan from a bank. There are many alternative choices and commercial real estate lenders that make it easier for borrowers who have been rejected from a bank to still obtain the loan they need. Nowadays, there are many options and lenders that are ready and waiting to meet your needs.
It’s important to break down your specific needs because not all lenders have the same experience and some specialize in a specific market or niche. It’s important that the lender you go with understands your company or business’s specific needs. Once you understand your needs, it’s a good idea to understand the six main types of lenders.
Banks are a traditional lending option. They can be difficult to obtain a loan through because their red tape tends to be more rigid than other commercial real estate lenders. However, they are typically creditable sources, and going with a local bank ensures they understand your specific market. Life insurance companies are another option since they have large amounts of capital. However, like banks, they are typically not interested in big-risk lending and err on the side of conservative loans with very reliable return projections. The bond market, or commercial mortgage backed securities, is another option. These loans are backed by bonds and have the potential for great reward.
Some other options include a debt fund, which is an investment pool, like a mutual fund or exchange-trade fund that allows multiple investors to lend or buy loans. Government sponsored entities are another option in the instance of government created and controlled organizations handling private financial dealings. Finally, marketplace lenders are online lenders that match up borrowers with investors willing to take on their loan.
How to determine which loan type is best for your needs.
There are a number of ways you can go about this. You can ask questions, talk to people and see how their services align with your needs. This is the most direct way to go about it and you can also get a good feel for the organizations by speaking with their representatives. Trust your instincts and pay attention to things like customer service. For example, do they always answer the phone and take your calls or do you get sent to voicemail then have to wait an inappropriate amount of time for a return call.
