Key Distinctions: Commercial vs. Residential Property Loans
Commercial loans are riskier and more complex than residential loans. Here are some of the key distinctions between residential and commercial property loans.
1) Underwriting – Evaluating Strength of Transaction
Commercial loans focus mostly on the current and future income-producing potential of a property (as opposed to focusing primarily on the income of the borrower on the residential side).
2) Down Payments & Loan-to-Value (LTV)
Commercial property lenders will generally approve a loan-to-value (“LTV”) that is less than what borrowers are accustomed to on the residential side, meaning higher down payments and lower leverages.
3) Commercial Loan Costs
Commercial loans will typically (although not always) come with higher rates, a higher down payment, and shorter terms (which will increase monthly payments). Interest rates and costs vary depending on the lender and LTV, Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), and After-Repair-Value (where applicable).
In addition, commercial loans often come with appraisal and environmental/toxic report costs, which can be significant.
4) Commercial Loan Terms & Prepayment Penalties
Commercial property loans have terms of generally 6-36 months for hard money commercial loans, and 5-20 years for permanent commercial loans. The best commercial mortgage hard money loans generally consist of interest-only payments, and permanent commercial loans often have an amortization schedule that is longer than the loan’s term. In both cases a balloon payment is due at the end of the loan’s term. Finding the best commercial mortgage loan in the hard money sector is not as hard as someone may think.
Since 2010, Dodd-Frank has prohibited prepayment penalties on owner-occupied loans in the residential 1-4 unit arena. But for commercial property loans, prepayment penalties are more common.
5) Identifying the Sponsor in a Commercial Loan
Commercial loans are often made to business entities, such as an LLC, corporation, partnership or trust, which is also called the “sponsor.” The sponsor is the entity or individual to whom the loan is made. If the sponsor is an entity, sometimes commercial property lenders will require an individual (or individuals) to guarantee the loan, called “guarantors.”
A personal guarantee means the guarantor is personally responsible to pay back the loan in the event of default, even if a business entity is the holder of the note. This is considered a recourse loan, which allows the lender to look to the personal assets to satisfy the loan in the event of default.
In a non-recourse loan, on the other hand, if the sponsor fails to make payments, the lender’s only remedy (recourse) is to take back the property and sell it.
Applying for a Commercial Loan
Commercial lenders and their loan programs vary as widely. The process of securing a commercial loan is a vastly different process than that for a residential loan. Borrowers should consider many possible factors in applying for a loan, including loan features, pertinent tax considerations and economic conditions.
The commercial loan application and underwriting process is longer and more involved than for residential loans. Commercial lenders are more interested in getting to know the financials of sponsoring entity to feel more comfortable in extending funds. The more relevant financials that can be provided in a commercial loan transaction, the more favorable the terms.
Finding The Right Commercial Property Lender
Commercial property loans are more complicated and lengthier than residential loans. Many commercial property sponsors and borrowers are not experts in commercial property financing. Commercial mortgage professionals not only procure funding sources, but also act as advisors. With the ability to match borrowers with lenders because they know what the market will support.
With so many different commercial loan options, it is important to shop around and get the best deal. It is best to work with a broker who has knowledge of and access to all available loan programs. Commercial mortgage brokers will assist every step of the way to submit loan applications with the best likelihood of success.
Commercial property loans are a great way for investors and business owners to expand their profit-making potential. With so many great options and terms to choose from, it is important to conduct proper due diligence. Find the best commercial property loan and best lender for your needs.
