Commercial Second Mortgages

New commercial second mortgages (Sits in second or first lien position) give owners the option to tap their commercial equity with the added benefit of having a fixed interest rate.  This loan helps solve one of the biggest negatives in commercial property ownership, lack of liquidity.

This commercial second mortgage can also be a viable option to traditional cash out commercial refinance.  If your existing first loan is fine, why go through the expense (appraisal fee $2,500 - $4,500, title $1,500 -$2,500, environmental report at $1,000 -$2,000) and time of refinancing it?  Especially when you can simply place a low cost commercial second on top?   This can be especially important if you have a high prepayment penality on your existing loan.  

As hard as it might be to believe there are third party fees on this loan -  unlike all other commercial loan programs.  No appraisal fee, no environmental report fee, no title or escrow fees on this commercial loan.  Only cost is an origination fee (ranging from 1 - 1.5%, see attached fee agreement), which is paid at funding.

Rates are decent as well.  Most borrowers qualify for interest rates in the low 8's and for some, in the low 7's.   

Another major benefit is the low documentation required.  No business or personal tax returns requested for owner occupants.  Lender typically just needs proof of insurance and a copy of your last mortgage payment.  For investors, you normally only need to provide copies of your Schedules E’s (last 2 years), proof of insurance, copy of leases and a copy of your last mortgage payment.  That’s it.
