Commercial mortgage programs

There are two main downsides to commercial mortgages. The first is that they’re not ideal for the cash-strapped entrepreneur because you need substantial resources upfront in order to obtain them. The second downside is that these mortgages come with much higher interest rates than residential loans.

Commercial Mortgage Loan Challenges: real client case studies resolved by us

Here are three different case studies of real clients we’ve helped at Clopton Capital

LLC Borrower Looking to Purchase Office Building

A borrower structured in an LLC wanted to purchase an office building in Fort Lauderdale for $9.5 million that was part of an association with 3 other buildings. The borrower planned to use 3rd party management on a non-owner occupied basis, thus buying the building purely as an investment. We structured a 75% loan-to-value non-recourse loan (i.e. a 25% down payment), with a 10-year very competitive rate, 2 years of interest only on the front-end that transitions to a 30-year amortization in year-3. Our client was satisfied with this arrangement as a way to maximize its cash flow and ROI on the investment with the added benefit of zero personal recourse.

Partnership Borrower with Apartment Building in Kentucky

A borrower in a partnership structure was facing a loan maturing with a balloon payment attached to an apartment building in KY. The investor wanted to contain closing costs and was uncertain what to do with the property. Its goal was a mortgage with a fixed rate but did not want any prepayment on the loan in case the partners decided to sell and repay their debt. We found a lender on our exclusive long-term relationship list able to arrange a commercial mortgage with a 5-year fixed rate, 25-year amortization that did not have any prepayment at all starting on day-1. This way our client was protected against rate increases for 5 years with enough latitude over that time-period to figure out if it wanted to sell or keep the property.

Corporation Borrower Seeking Cash-Out Refinance

A corporation borrower with a portfolio of retail centers in Indiana approached us to refinance and cash out on all of the properties. The properties were located across western Indiana and were comprised mainly of grocery-anchored shopping centers. We induced one of our mainstay lenders to structure a portfolio mortgage for $16.5 million across all the properties, that transferred over $6 million into the borrowers pocket, maintained a very competitive 10 year fixed rate and settled on a 30-year amortization, non-recourse.

Commercial Mortgages Interest Rates

Commercial mortgage interest rates are the interest rates that banks charge on commercial mortgages. They are usually a little bit higher than the interest rates that they charge on residential mortgages, because the risk of default is a little bit higher for commercial development mortgages. Banks charge higher interest rates because commercial mortgages are riskier. In addition, there is a higher cost of borrowing as compared with residential mortgage loans because the process is more labour intensive and time consuming for banks.

In order to determine commercial mortgage interest rates, lenders look at many different factors. The total loan amount is one of these factors. Lenders tend to charge lower interest rates for larger loans with a long repayment period since it reduces risk and increases return on investment. They also consider the property type that the borrower wants to buy. Some types of properties have a better ability to generate cash flows which makes them less risky than others. Banks will generally charge lower interest rates for property types with better collateral value such as industrial properties rather than office spaces.

What is the current interest rate for commercial mortgages?

The current interest rates for commercial mortgages for new businesses and established enterprises range from 3.5% to 5%. This is because the economy has been improving, and the Federal Reserve has been gradually increasing the federal funds rate.

Requirements to Apply for a Commercial Mortgage Loan

Commercial mortgage loans are required to meet the lending requirements of banks. Ideally, these loans should be free of any personal credit history in order to make the process more accessible to all potential borrowers. The lending company is also in charge of estimating how much money would be repaid in 30 years at 10% with 20% down payment. This estimation can then be used to determine whether or not the borrower is eligible for financing.

The Commercial Mortgage Loan Application Process

The commercial mortgage loan application process can be difficult to understand. It’s important to have all of your documentation in order and to know what the lender is looking for, which are all things our commercial mortgage brokers can help with.

Proof of identity (driver’s license, passport, etc.)
