Are Rental Terms and Costs Holding You Back?

Commercial Real Estate Loans

Commercial real estate loans help cover the cost of purchasing investment or owner-occupied property. These loans are typically used to buy offices, apartment buildings, retail centers, and subdivisions.

Loans also cover the costs of renovations to existing property in your portfolio. Renovations can be for space your business occupies now or properties you intend to repair and resell.

Take advantage of lender sales and incentives to reduce your monthly expenses. Refinancing is a great way to lower recurring costs and free up working capital. Simply replace your high-interest loan with a low-interest alternative. Let us help you find the loan that’s right for your business.

SBA 7(a)

The Small Business Administration helps small business owners secure financing when banks and credit unions have declined. The Administration acts as a cosigner thereby encouraging lenders to approve loan applications.

Additionally, the SBA regulates interest rates, making financing more affordable to small businesses. Your business can get up to $5M in funds or 90% of the property value to buy or repair real estate.

The SBA 7(a) loans are popular, flexible use options for small businesses. Real estate loans through the SBA are long-term, lasting up to 25 years. For loans above $50,000 and at least seven years, the current interest rate is 2.75% above Prime.

SBA 504

An SBA 504 loan is a lot like an SBA 7(a) loan but a little more restrictive. All of the funds borrowed must go toward the stated purpose on the loan documentation. Real estate loans have to be spent strictly on real estate, nowhere else.

Instead of being serviced by private lenders, as the 7(a) loans are, 504 loans go through a Certified Development Company licensed by the SBA. CDC loans have either a 10 or 20-year term and a fixed interest rate.

Like the 7(a) loan, an SBA 504 loan has a $5M borrowing limit. They’re financed 40% by a private lender, 50% by the CDC, and 10% is the borrower’s downpayment.

Bridge Loans

Commercial and SBA loans are typically long-term borrowing options. Bridge loans, on the other hand, are short-term financing. These are ideal loans for fix and flip investors who see a quick return on their investments.

When you don’t have time to wait on a traditional bank loan, bridge loans are the ideal solution. Repay the loan from real estate sales, tenant revenue, or long-term loans.

Bridge loans are intended to “bridge” the gap between immediate need and long-term solutions. They can be approved quickly, giving borrowers the advantage in competitive real estate markets. Making a cash offer can make you more attractive to sellers.

F.A.Q.'s

We’ll work with you until you’re confident with your real estate plan.
Can I qualify for a commercial real estate loan?
Most owner-occupied property loans require your business to occupy at least 51% of the building’s available space. Investment property loans can be used to purchase income-producing properties. To qualify, you’ll need to produce a business plan, financial records, business tax returns, and a third-party appraisal of the property.
What is the interest rate for commercial real estate loans?
Interest rates depend on the lender, the borrower’s credit, the type of loan, and the property being purchased. SBA loans are currently at 5.50 to 9.75 for 7(a) loans and 2.91% to 3.76% for 504 loans.
What credit score is needed for a commercial real estate loan?
Lenders typically want a credit score of 680 or higher. If your score is lower, there are still options open to you. We can tap into our vast lender network and leverage our professional relationships to find you the best deal on a property loan for your business.
How do I get an equipment loan with bad credit?
In many cases, you can improve your chances of getting a loan by offering a higher down payment. You could also offer additional collateral on the loan. Hard money loans look at the value of the equipment to determine what to offer.
