Bad Credit Commercial Loans
Borrowers seeking bad credit commercial loans have basically three options. SBA 7a loans, commercial hard money loans or so called "story lenders". However none of these options are ideal. And due to the credit crisis these options are becoming more and more limited. Never before has personal credit been so important for commercial loans. This may seem painfully obvious, but worth noting that everything should be done by the borrower to restore/improve their personal credit score. Commercial loans with bad credit are very expensive and also very hard to get funded in this market. We are currently in one of the worst credit crisis's since the Great Depression and banks are getting very conservative. Credit scores are very easy for banks to identify and "pick on" As far as the expense, the difference in payment on a $1,000,000 loan amount with a rate at 7% (is $7,067) vs 9% (at $8,391) is significant. That a $1,324 per month increase, or:
Thats real money, cash out of your pocket... Thats not potential equity build up, or principle paydown, etc but real cash out of your hands. And this does not include the other costs to do loans. For example, SBA 7a loans normally have a 2.75% "guarantee fee" which are points the Small Business Administration charges. On a $1,000,000 loan amount that would be $27,000 in fees you would have to pay. Hard money is more expensive. Expect to pay 4-6%, again thats $40,000 - $60,000 in fees just to close the loan.

Bad Credit Business Loans - SBA Commercial LoansSBA commercial loans are one of the best options for borrowers with bad credit seeking commercial loans. Because the SBA essentially guarantees that the funding bank will get their capital back in case of borrower default, some banks are willing to take more risk and losen their underwriting guide lines and thus work with borrowers with poor credit. However most banks will not lower there credit standards even with the SBA guarantee so it is critical that the borrower works with the right bank. For example we work with a PLP SBA lender that will lend to borrowers in the 500's if the rest of there situation is decent. Poor Credit Commercial Mortgages - Commercial Hard MoneyMost borrower think of commercial hard money as there only source for bad credit commercial loans. Most hard money commercial lenders are interested in the properties equity and or its cash flow and the borrower’s credit score is often just an afterthought. Commercial hard money lenders want to see at least a 60% loan to value in order for them to seriously consider funding the deal. Also, the exit plan of the borrower is critical. In other words, how is the lender going to get there money back when the loan balloons? Speed and flexibility are the main benefits. The expense is the downside. Borrowers should expect to pay 3-6% points and have a rate around 13-16%. |
