Guide to Commercial Mortgage Lenders

Tips and strategies to land the best deals on commercial real estate loans


 
 

Commercial Mortgage Essentials

  • Shop around. Not all commercial mortgage brokers are created equal.
  • Divide and conquer. Solicit offers from multiple commercial lenders and make them compete for your business.
  • Be prepared. Familiarize yourself with current commercial loan rates and terms ahead of time.
 
 
If you want to buy or expand an office complex, warehouse or retail building, you need a commercial mortgage. Commercial loan rates can vary considerably based on the amount, duration and type of loan as well as on the lender. That's why it's so important to choose the right commercial mortgage lender. Doing so can help you:
  1. Secure financing to buy or expand your business property.
  2. Secure a long-term location without rental rate hikes.
  3. Profit from the increase in value of your business property.
  4. Secure a mortgage loan at a favorable rate and term.
  5. Increase your tax deductions.


Action Steps to Commercial Loans

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Commercial Mortgages Action Steps Prepare your financials Commercial mortgage lenders want to see hard evidence that you can repay the loan, including financial statements, balance statements, profit-and-loss statements, projected cash flow statements and more. Lenders may want to see a business plan as well as background information on you and your partners.

I recommend:  Keep this commercial loan readiness checklist handy so you know which financial statements to prepare. Download a sample balance sheet and a profit-and-loss statement from UrgentBusinessForms.com, which also sells templates in Excel, PDF and Word formats. A downloadable template for cash flow projections is available from 1000Ventures.com.

Commercial Mortgages Action Steps Know your ratios Most commercial mortgage lenders require certain percentages for three important ratios: debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), loan to value ratio (LTV) and debt ratio. DSCR is the net operating income divided by the mortgage payments. LTV is the total loan amount divided by the fair market value of the property. Debt ratio is determined by dividing your monthly debt obligations by your monthly income.

I recommend:  Keep abreast of commercial loan rates and use the debt service calculator courtesy of CommercialBanc.com to estimate your DSCR.

Commercial Mortgages Action Steps Shop for mortgage lenders The commercial mortgage and commercial lending market is crowded with bankers and commercial mortgage brokers eager to place your loan. Choosing one requires careful consideration of rates, terms, duration, down payment and other conditions. Often the bank that handles your business checking accounts may be willing to offer you a commercial mortgage loan at an attractive rate or with favorable terms in order to get more of your business.

I recommend:  Among the big banks that offer commercial mortgage loans to small businesses are Wells Fargo, Citibank and Wachovia, which allows you to apply online. Among the numerous online services that help you shop for commercial mortgage loans are iBank and Businessfinance.com. Fill out a short online form at BuyerZone.com to receive quotes from several commercial mortgage lenders.

Commercial Mortgages Action Steps Negotiate a deal and close the loan Choose two or three lenders that seem to offer the best deals and most closely match what you need. Negotiate with each one, letting them know that you're shopping several other sources. Having options gives you at least some leverage in the negotiation process. Once you have decided on your top pick, proceed to finalizing your commercial mortgage loan. It's wise to use an attorney to review the loan documents and make sure your interests are served and protected. Your attorney can also help walk you through the closing.

I recommend:  The Capital Consortium offers a number of sample mortgage loan documents online for review. Find an attorney who specializes in real estate at AttorneyPages.com.

Tips & Tactics for Getting a Commercial Mortgage

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • Learn from rejection: If you get rejected for a commercial mortgage loan, find out why and try to remedy the shortcoming. Then apply again, perhaps with a different lender.
  • Watch for balloons: Commercial mortgage loans are often for periods of 10 years or less, with the entire remaining amount due at the end of the term as a balloon payment. Be prepared to refinance or pay off the balance.
  • Down payments required: Most lenders require at least a 20 percent down payment on a commercial loan.
  • Look for hidden costs: Extra loan fees and costs can add up. Lower-interest loans can sometimes cost more because of extra fees and charges.
  • Keep your credit clean: If you have other business credit lines, keep them up to date and out of trouble. Any bad credit marks can make mortgage lenders leery.
  • Pay attention to restrictions: Mortgage lenders will sometimes impose restrictions on the use of your property as a condition of the loan. Be sure to ask about any restrictions and make sure that you agree with them.

Tips and strategies to land the best deals on commercial real estate loans.
If you want to buy or expand an office complex, warehouse or retail building, you need a commercial mortgage. Commercial loan rates can vary considerably based on the amount, duration and type of loan as well as on the lender. That's why ... Read more
Type
Your commercial mortgage choices by type include purchase, refinance, short term bridge and commercial second mortgage.
  • A purchase small business commercial loan mortgage presumes a 20% down payment.
  • Choose commercial mortgage refinance to lower interest rates, to cash out equity in the property, to lower payments or to shorten the term.
  • Short term bridge financing is typically high interest commercial lending for a short term. It can help you secure a commercial property quickly or take advantage of an opportunity in commercial real estate.
  • Taking a commercial second mortgage, often simultaneously with the first mortgage and an interest-only mortgage, can increase cash flow and help fund a new business.
Amount
Your choices by commercial lending amount include less than $50,000, $50,000 to $100,000, $100,000 to $250,000, $250,000 to $1 million, $1 million to $5 million and more than $5 million.
  • Commercial mortgages of less than $50,000 are unusual unless it's cash-out refinancing for cash flow or expansion.
  • Commercial lending from $50,000 to $100,000 is often designed to allow a business to build out for growth.
  • Commercial loans in amounts from $100,000 to $250,000 are typically to expand or develop an existing commercial property as an investment.
  • Commercial mortgages of $250,000 to $1 million are common, but remember that the loan-to-value ratio is going to have to be as high as 70%.
  • Getting commercial loans from $1 million to $5 million can be tough unless your business clearly generates significant revenues or your company can provide other collateral.
  • Commercial mortgages of more than $5 million are typically for a large development like a shopping center or office building and require a track record in that industry.
Period
Your choices for commercial mortgages by period include 15 year and 30 year.
  • Commercial loans with a 15-year period reduce your total interest paid but often include a lump-sum balloon payment after five or 10 years.
  • 30-year commercial loans typically result in a high amount of total interest paid unless the loan is interest only, in which case, a balloon payment is required.
Terms
Your choices for commercial mortgage terms include interest only, minimum years in business, no balloon payment, no early repayment penalty, prime+ and unsecured loan.
  • An interest only commercial mortgage means you pay just the interest, reducing the monthly payment, and the principal remains unchanged for a predetermined period.
  • Most commercial lending requires a number of minimum years in business before commercial loans are granted.
  • Some commercial mortgage loans require a large lump-sum called a mortgage balloon payment, at a set number of years. Asking for no balloon payment may remove this condition on your mortgage loan.
  • Mortgages with no early repayment charges will not pile on penalties for repaying early. Ask for a no early repayment penalty clause.
  • The prime rate is the best rate large banks will charge their best customers, as published in The Wall Street Journal. A prime + commercial mortgage rate is the prime rate plus one or more points.
  • An unsecured loan is not backed by collateral. There can be no repossession, but lenders can still sue for non-payment of unsecured commercial loans.
