What A Commercial Loan Officer Needs To Know

Make sure you identify and confirm the lenders loan process

• Do not talk like your a residential loan officer, learn the commercial vocabulary and way of speaking so you look, sound and act like a profession. Clients and lenders can easily spot a poser.

• Develop a niche, whether it’s a loan product or property type

• Educate yourself on the Standard and Non-standard Loan Programs

• Develop the Ability to Analyze a Loan and Related Documentation

• Calculations and Analysis is the key to showing the underwriter the project is workable. Make sure to double check your math or use a user friendly form like the one we offer on our web site commercialtrainers.com

• Third Party Reports are needed during the loan, know how much and when they will be requested by the lender before submitting a loan.

• Determine which lenders to work with by interviewing them and learning their process

• Determine which borrowers to work with by doing your due diligence, sometimes this includes a background check

• Don’t take legal matters into your own hands, have a good contract law attorney and a great fee agreement

• Know what is your direct contribution to the transaction, Why You? Need to Know! The what to do.

• Every commercial loan is different – this is a great thing!

• One set of rules does not apply to everyone – each loan is judged by its own strengths and weaknesses

• Each commercial loan is reviewed on its strengths and weaknesses. Compensating factors – such as experience in the field – potential income from the property, and/or property’s loan to value can tip the scales in your favor

• Knowing how to submit your commercial loan is key to getting it accepted

• You need to understands the entrepreneurial mindset

• Have access to many commercial lenders to give you the most options
