DUE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA'S STIMULUS PACKAGE, ALL SBA FEES ARE TEMPORALLY WAIVED.
SBA 504 loan program is hands down, one of the best commercial real estate loans in the industry for business owners. Primary benefits include, low down payment (10%) and some of the lowest fixed interest rates in the business. Amortization periods can be as long as 30 years as well with the SBA 504 loan.

The 504 is essentially two loans, the first lien position conventional bank piece and the second lien loan is the CDC or SBA loan. The CDC piece is normally fixed and amortized over 20 years ( a huge benefit in and of itself)... The bank loan ranges in terms like any commercial real estate loan, though most are amortized over 25 years (30 years is still possible) with fixed periods ranging from 5 to 10 years. The banks loan sits at 50% loan to value and the SBA loan covers 40% loan to value - the borrower contributes the last 10%, via the down payment.
Another major benefit to the SBA 504 loan is how the down payment is calculated compared to conventional loans. The down payment is factored off the "total project cost", meaning fees like closing costs, 3rd party costs, renovation costs, etc. can be rolled into the loan and the 10% down payment is factor off that total amount, ie the "total project cost". As a comparison, most conventional bank loans have the down payment calculated off of the purchase price, than all other fees/cost go on top of the down payment. This substantially increases the amount of cash borrowers have to put into the loan. See example:

Again the down payment on the SBA 504, is calculated as 10% of the total project cost. As you can see the borrower in this example keeps an additional $226,500 in their pocket by rolling these costs into the loan. This is a very important point that should not be quickly brushed off. Most conventional loan programs do not have this ability to include fees, equipment, construction cost, etc into the loan amount.
Another interesting point is that borrowers typically see a 10-20% reduction in their real estate expense by owning rather than leasing. In addition, due to long term fixed rates borrowers have less concerns over future rate increases or future increases in rental payments.
