Consider these factors as you evaluate your lending options:
The steps involved in the commercial loan process include the application, pre-approval, processing, underwriting and closing. Some lenders like to prequalify potential borrowers to determine how much they can afford.
This will also give you and your lender an opportunity to see which loan program would be most appropriate for your needs.
Residential properties are single family residences and apartment buildings with up to 4 dwelling units and they require residential loans. Multifamily properties with 5 or more dwelling units are considered commercial property and require commercial loans.
Traditional lenders, such as banks and credits unions, will want to see good credit scores. This is not always a requirement with hard money lenders who have more flexible underwriting requirements. If you have good credit, sufficient value in your property, and you prove to the lender that you have the ability to repay your loan, you will be offered the most competitive rates.
While it may seem like a never-ending process, the more documentation you can provide to potential lenders to demonstrate the profitability of your commercial real estate, the speedier the loan process will be.
Expect to provide the lender with tax returns (personal and business), profit and loss statements, rent rolls, leases, financial statements and more.
