Commercial Banker Discusses Timing on Commercial Loan Refinance
jeff rauth asked:
We are often are asked when is the optimal time to refinance a commercial mortgage. Many factors such as market interest rates, prepayment penalties, existing loan terms and the overall goals of the borrower come into play. There are no set answers, but below are some real world thoughts on how you might analyze your own commercial refinance.
Traditionally, the analysis to keep an existing loan in place or to refinance into a new commercial loan can become very complex. Financial advisors like to use the Discounted Cash Flow method which essentially compares the two loans on the Net Present Value basis.
We have found though, that most commercial building owners are primarily interested in how the proposed loan refinance will:
1. Affect their monthly cash flow.
2. What the closing costs will be and how these costs will affect their equity.
3. What the out of pockets costs will be.
4. How long will it take for the increase in cash flow to “pay back” the owner (assuming theirs a decrease in payment).
Principal pay down is obviously another important component of any commercial loan. However, for most owners, especially those with highly leveraged properties, cash flow is more pressing. This is due to the relative high debt payment versus net cash after all the expenses have been paid.
Example 1. Owner occupied office building.
Borrower is 3 years into a 5 year fixed, 20 year amortized loan and is considering refinancing into a 30 year fixed, 30 year amortization commercial loan. The borrowers primary motivation is a desire to increase cash flow to help businesses overall profitability. In addition the borrower has concerns over future rate increases when the existing loan balloons
Existing Loan – 5 year fixed 20 year amortization.
Property Value $1,500,000
Current Loan Balance $1,075,000
Original Loan Balance $1,125,000 (Purchased building with 25% down)
Current Loan to Value 72%
Current Equity 28% or $420,000
Interest Rate 7.25%
Monthly Payment $10,418
Proposed Loan – 30 year fixed, 30 year amortization. Borrower is planning on rolling as much of the closing costs as possible into the loan amount to reduce “out of pocket” cash.
Property Value $1,500,000
Current Loan Balance $1,075,000
Closing Costs $19,638
Proposed Loan Amount $1,094,638
Proposed Loan to Value 73%
Interest Rate 8%
Monthly Payment $8,582
* Closing Cost Break Down (Title at $2000, Lender Legal Fees $2000, Origination Fee at 1% or $10,838, Appraisal $3,000, Environmental $1,800).
Increase in cash flow is $1,835 per month or $22,028 annual. Essentially, from a cash flow perspective, the borrower would recoup the costs of loan in less than one year, despite the rate increase by 75 basis points. Although the borrower would have to pay for the appraisal and environmental report upfront, they would be “refunded” for these costs at close if desired.
In our experience most business owners would be very interested in pursuing the proposed refinance.
Example 2. Investment Property, 10 Unit Retail Center. Borrower has owned the property for 7 years and has two loans on the subject property. First loan is a conventional floating rate loan that adjusts annually, amortized over 25 years and the second is seller held. It is amortized over 20 years and has a fixed 20 year rate. Neither loan has a balloon provision; however the first loan does have a prepayment penalty of 5% of the remaining loan balance, which is in effect for 3 more years.
Property Current Value – 9% Cap $2,600,000 (Purchase for $2,300,000)
Combined Current Loan Balance $1,635,000
Original Loan Balance, 1st $1,610,000 (70% Loan to Value)
Original Loan Balance, 2nd $230,000 (10% Loan to Value)
Current Loan to Value 61%
Interest Rate, 1st 6.65%
Interest Rate, 2nd 7%
Current Debt Coverage Ratio 1.27
Net Operating Income $235,000
Combined Monthly Payment $15,448
Proposed Loan – 10 year fixed, 30 year amortization. Borrower is planning on combining the two loans together and wants the security of having a fixed rate loan. Borrower also wants to roll in as much of the closing costs as possible into the loan amount to reduce “out of pocket” cash.
Property Value – 9% Cap $2,600,000
Combined Current Loan Balance $1,635,000
Closing Costs $83,500 *
Proposed Loan Amount 1,735,568
Proposed Loan to Value 67%
Interest Rate 7.5%
Current Debt Coverage Ratio 1.54
Net Operating Income $235,000
Monthly Payment $12,743
Closing Cost Break Down (Pre Pay $72,500 [5% of 1st loan amount], Title at $3000, Lender Legal Fees at $2,200, Origination Fee at 1% or $17,185, Appraisal $4,000,Enviromental $1,800) .
Cash flow increase is $2,704 per month or $32,449 per year while the cost to close the loan is high at $83,500 due primarily to the prepayment penalty. The borrower is facing a closing cost payback period of over two and a half years. In addition the interest rate has gone up considerable on the proposed loan, which of course increase the overall cost of the loan.
Not an easy decision for the borrower. The option to go forward would probably rest heavily on the borrower’s opinion of where the future interest rates will be when the prepayment period ends.
It is interesting to note that the borrower would be able to increase his loan amount to $2,333,964 (cash out proceeds would be approximately $598,000) if he choose too. This is due to the increase in cash flow. The building Debt Coverage Ratio would improve to a 1.54 – the typically minimum is DCR is 1.2. If the borrowers intent was to pull cash out of the property to inject into another property (or for any other reason) this would probably be a much easier decision to go forward with the loan.

Bad Credit Commercial Loans – Free Ebook
jeff rauth asked:
Borrowers with “bruised credit” seeking commercial loans should not give up all hope, despite the credit crisis. There are still commercial loan options for borrowers with scores in the 500’s. And every action, large or small, should be taken by the borrower to improve their score.
Due to all of the bad news that we have all been subject to for the last year and half, many people have basically stopped bothering, even though they may have a doable deal. Owner occupants, meaning borrowers that occupy the commercial building with their business, have some of the best “bad credit commercial loan” options out there.
For example we are still closing loans with rates in the 6%’s… At up to 80% sometime even 85% loan to value. These loan programs are tied to the Prime Rate which is currently at 4% which explains the low rates. The margin with these loans is normally 2.75% over, so the borrower’s rate is 6.75% on most deals. Amortization period is 25 years.
It goes without saying that every action should be taken by the borrower to improve their credit score. The higher the score, the more options they have as far as loan programs. Probable the most important thing for borrowers to learn to do is write a proper dispute letter. Its critical to know the laws and to be able to quote them on the letters so that the creditors and bureaus know that you know your rights, and that they can’t just blow you off (the free eBook describes how to do this – link here). Or you can always go to your library and get a paper version.
Borrowers can do all of the work themselves and do not have to pay a dime to anyone to help them do this. Unfortunately most credit repair companies are unscrupulous and have poor track records. There are no secrets or tricks to this; it’s all about follow up, being organized and presenting the proper arguments.
As a commercial mortgage broker we are interested in closing commercial mortgages, not selling credit repair. “We want to get the chance to compete on commercial loans. The better the borrowers look to the lenders the better chance we have of successfully closing loans”. Comments Jeff Rauth, President.

Commercial Loan Fee Agreement – Timing
jeff rauth asked:
If you’re in the business of originating commercial loans, you know how important it is to protect yourself. A commercial loan fee agreement is one of our most important tools. Going through the long and difficult process of underwriting and closing a commercial loan all to not get paid or only collect a portion of what you expected is one of the more painful and disappointing experiences you can go through in this industry.
We know. We have had several situations where we didn’t get paid, only got a portion of what we were told or did collect our fee, only after getting an attorney involved and going through a long and draining process.
Putting together a deal after hearing the funding bank saying something like “oh, we don’t have formal agreement with brokers, but we’ll pay you a point outside of closing” is like hoping to get paid back that $500 loan you gave to your high drop-out cousin. Sure, there is a chance you’ll get paid back.
Or if you’re working on a deal and not expecting to get any YSP from the bank and you’re depending on the borrower to finally sign that fee agreement, after they know who the bank is and what they are offering, is also a seriously weak position to be.
Unfortunately, we have had both “friends” as well as national lenders that we have work with for years short us at the end of the day. The reasons and stories behind these vary, but bottom-line – if you don’t have your commercial mortgage broker fee agreement signed and in hand in the beginning of the process you are relying on their kindness to pay you. As my old boss used to say “I won’t walk across the street for a client without a contract”.

Private Commercial Mortgage Lenders – Investors and Developers Turn to Hard Money
Glenn Fydenkevez asked:
Commercial Mortgage Liquidity Crisis
We are, indeed, in the midst of a significant and severe credit crunch. Conventional lenders, such as banks, Wall Street investment houses and insurance companies have greatly curtailed their lending activity. Even the very best investors and developers are finding it hard to get projects funded.
The collateralized debt market has dried up. Few bond buyers are interested in mortgaged backed paper today. Big institutional lenders are finding it impossible to turn the mortgages they originate into cash. Put in simple terms; no mortgage buyers, no mortgage loans.
Property owners, investors and developers are left frustrated and without financing.
Good Deals have been Sidelined
The dollar volume of pent-up commercial mortgage loan demand now measures in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Deals that, just a year ago, would have enjoyed quick funding are being rejected by banks out-of-hand. Not because they don’t have merit, but because the banks and their counterparts are caught up in the liquidity crises.
With millions in profit potential at stake, commercial property investors are seeking out non-traditional sources of mortgage funds.
Private Commercial Mortgage Lenders; Funding Deals When Banks Won’t
Privately funded commercial mortgage loans are becoming increasingly popular during this mortgage meltdown. Private lenders, many funded by wealthy individuals, hedge funds or other large pools of capital, often lend their own money for their own portfolios. These unique lenders have not been crippled by the breakdown of the collateralized mortgage bond market. They can still originate loans at will without worrying about who may or may-not want to buy them.
Further, private loans (sometimes called “hard money” loans) can close in just days, as-opposed to conventional loans which, if you get one at all, can take 3 months or more to fund.
There are generally no loan committees, stacks of paperwork or complicated ratios to deal with. If they like your deal and you demonstrate that you can pay them back, they can and will close your loan no-matter-what Wall Street is doing.
What Private Mortgage Lenders Look for
Private lenders are equity based lenders; loan decisions are not driven by the credit of the borrower. It is essential that the collateral property have substantial equity in it. Most hard money commercial lenders won’t lend more than 70% of the purchase price or, in the case of a refinance, the value of the commercial property. So be prepared for large down-payment requests or a good sized 2nd mortgage. Also, borrowers will need to have some cash, typically 10% or more, in any given deal. There is no-such-thing-as 100% financing today. Documentation requirements will be much less than conventional lenders would require but be prepared to back up any claims you make with some proof.
Income producing buildings are favored by hard money lenders but most are willing to consider all property types.
Hard Money Commercial Loans are now Indispensable
With the large conventional lending institutions frozen like a deer in the headlights, private, hard money commercial lenders have become indispensable to the commercial sector. They stand ready and willing to lend against quality buildings or well thought-out development projects. Investors should not give up on finding financing for their best deals until they have looked into a privately funded mortgage.

Private Commercial Mortgage Lenders; Filling a Vital Role in Today’s Credit Market
Glenn Fydenkevez asked:
The Liquidity Crisis Has Paralyzed Institutional Commercial Mortgage Lenders
We are in the middle of the most challenging credit environment in a generation, crisis is not too strong a word to describe the situation we find ourselves in. American business runs on borrowed money, as-does America’s multi trillion dollar commercial real estate industry. Without the free flow of capital the system breaks down.
Institutional lenders are just not lending. Thousands of great projects that would have been fought over just two years ago are being rejected out-of-hand by banks and by Wall Street. The problem is liquidity. Conventional lenders can’t sell their loans into the secondary mortgage market anymore, so they are opting to hold on to their cash until things improve. And who can blame them? There is no money to be made writing a 6% mortgage and then holding it for decades. A thriving market in mortgage paper is imperative; institutions absolutely must have the ability to sell and borrow against the loans they write.
The Mortgage Derivatives Market Has Broken Down
Specifically, it’s the "collateralized mortgage obligation" or "CMO" market that has broken down. CMOs are simply publicly traded bonds that are backed by packages of mortgages that Wall Street investment banks have bundled and turned into marketable securities. They trade in several different incarnations such-as "CDO" (collateralized debt obligations), CCMO (collateralized commercial mortgage obligations) and "MBS" (mortgage backed securities) but, whatever the acronym they’re all the same thing; mortgage derivatives.
Because many of these bonds are backed by a variety of mortgage types, including the dreaded "sub-prime" residential mortgage, and because no one really has a handle how bad the sub-prime crises will get or if it will spread, investors are cool towards mortgages now-a-days. Or, put another way, nobody’s buying CMOs anymore. Lenders are not confident that they can sell the loans they write, so they don’t write them. Likewise, investors are not buying mortgages because they aren’t sure they could turn them back into cash if they needed to. The cycle is vicious and devastating to our economy.
A Massive Funding Gap Has Been Created
The result is what I call "the funding gap". Loans that fall into the funding gap are quality commercial mortgages that should be funded but, due to the turmoil in the credit markets, have been rejected. There are tons of great deals on the sidelines today, deals with top-notch sponsorship and plenty of equity. With the big banks largely out of the lending business, private mortgage lenders have stepped in to fill the funding gap.
Private Lenders Are Playing a Vital Role
Private lenders, once referred to as "hard money" lenders, are privately held companies that engage in commercial mortgage lending for their own benefit. Privately funded commercial mortgages are, generally underwritten on the basis of equity and are typically not credit driven. Interest rates and points on private loans are significantly higher than those charged by banks and other large institutional money centers. Private mortgage lenders can make decisions quickly and fund loans in a matter of a-few weeks, rather than the several months it takes to close a conventional deal.
Many private commercial lenders are, what’s-known-as, portfolio lenders, meaning they hold the mortgages they issue in their own company portfolios. Others do sell their loans, but generally not to investment banks that turn them into bonds. By-and-large, private, hard money lenders are not concerned with the goings-on in the CMO market. Private lenders charge more than double what their institutional counterparts’ charge, so it can be very profitable for them to write a loan, collect the interest during the loan’s term and then get their principle back at maturity. They issue mortgages at low LTVs (loan-to-value ratios) so the risk inherent in holding mortgage paper is mitigated. Because private mortgage firms are not at the mercy of the secondary market, the liquidity crisis that has paralyzed banks, Wall Street and other traditional lenders has had little negative impact on them. In-fact, private commercial mortgage lending is thriving.
Once considered lenders of last resort, private, hard money, firms are now mainstream business and are, indeed, the fastest growing segment of commercial real estate finance. With bank lending volume severely curtailed, thousands of excellent loans are in danger of going un-funded. Commercial real estate property owners, investors and developers are becoming more and more frustrated and are turning to private funding sources in record numbers. Private lenders are making deals and closing loans based on the merits of the deal not the condition of the credit markets. Even large developers and project sponsors who would not have dreamed of turning to a hard money lender just 18 months ago, are now lining up for privately funded loans.
"Hard Money" Can be Well Worth the Cost
Hard money commercial mortgage loans funded by private entities are more expensive than conventional loans on an absolute basis but, because there is no institutional bureaucracy and lending decisions are based on a simple LTV formula, private lenders are much faster and more efficient. If a deal makes sense, a private lender can close and fund it in 10 business days or less. Many real estate investors have come to realize that, even as high as the rates are, hard money is a-lot less expensive than losing the deal completely.
Private lending has been around for many years, and until fairly recently, has not enjoyed a good reputation. Today, spurred-on by the credit crisis, private commercial mortgage loans have gained respect and prominence in the real estate industry. They are funding deals when others can’t or won’t.
Today most private lenders are highly sophisticated and professional organizations. They are fulfilling a vital role in real estate and will continue to be important industry players until the credit markets stabilize and well beyond.
The Liquidity Crisis Has Paralyzed Institutional Commercial Mortgage Lenders
We are in the middle of the most challenging credit environment in a generation, crisis is not too strong a word to describe the situation we find ourselves in. American business runs on borrowed money, as-does America’s multi trillion dollar commercial real estate industry. Without the free flow of capital the system breaks down.
Institutional lenders are just not lending. Thousands of great projects that would have been fought over just two years ago are being rejected out-of-hand by banks and by Wall Street. The problem is liquidity. Conventional lenders can’t sell their loans into the secondary mortgage market anymore, so they are opting to hold on to their cash until things improve. And who can blame them? There is no money to be made writing a 6% mortgage and then holding it for decades. A thriving market in mortgage paper is imperative; institutions absolutely must have the ability to sell and borrow against the loans they write.
The Mortgage Derivatives Market Has Broken Down
Specifically, it’s the "collateralized mortgage obligation" or "CMO" market that has broken down. CMOs are simply publicly traded bonds that are backed by packages of mortgages that Wall Street investment banks have bundled and turned into marketable securities. They trade in several different incarnations such-as "CDO" (collateralized debt obligations), CCMO (collateralized commercial mortgage obligations) and "MBS" (mortgage backed securities) but, whatever the acronym they’re all the same thing; mortgage derivatives.
Because many of these bonds are backed by a variety of mortgage types, including the dreaded "sub-prime" residential mortgage, and because no one really has a handle how bad the sub-prime crises will get or if it will spread, investors are cool towards mortgages now-a-days.

Commercial Mortgage Lending – Green Projects Get Funded
Glenn Fydenkevez asked:
Like it or not, environmentally conscious, or “green” principles have come to dominate the field of commercial real estate development and commercial mortgage lending. Green building and sustainable design are now the standard in new commercial construction and residential developments. And, with local and national governments getting greener all the time, look for energy and resource efficiency to become mandatory, with green mandates being placed directly into building codes. Funding sources such-as banks, Wall Street brokers, insurance companies and hedge funds, are following suite and these principles are rapidly becoming a part of the commercial mortgage industry.
The US Department of Energy’s Center for Sustainable Development recently reported that 40% of the entire world’s energy supply is used by buildings. That’s a huge number. And, in the United States, construction accounts for our largest manufacturing sector, representing a staggering 13% of US GDP and nearly 50% of total wealth creation. Even tiny percentage gains in efficiency can amount to massive over-all energy savings.
Both institutional and private lenders as well as the REIT, (Real Estate Investment Trust) hedge fund and private equity industries have all embraced the environmental building movement. Green is the color of money and green is the color of commercial mortgage construction lending now and into the future. Lenders love green construction because good for profits as-well-as being good for the planet. Energy costs money, resources cost money and cleaning up messes’ costs money. Saving energy, saving resources and sustaining a site all save money, during construction and throughout the operational life of the property. Lenders know that green means efficient and, when they evaluate a project for financing they want to be assured that the funds they invest will be used cost-effectively and that the building will be economically viable.
Environmentally sound buildings can cost substantially less to operate than comparable buildings that disregard such efficiencies and tenants and their clients report higher customer satisfaction rates when doing business in them. To a lender, whose capital is secured by the building, this translates into higher quality collateral and makes their investments more secure.
As a commercial real estate investment banking professional, I can attest to the fact that developers who choose designs that are not green will find it very difficult to raise capital or secure loan approvals for their projects. We are in the midst of a sever liquidity crisis; construction money is in short supply. Lenders are giving priority to green development leaving very little capital available for conventional construction.
The Federal Government’s LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) rating system awards silver, gold and platinum certification to buildings that reduce waste and save energy and lower costs. LEED certification is almost (although not officially) a mandatory requirement in-order-to get a big construction project funded today.
Being green is no longer just the passion of the activist anymore; it is the new emerging standard in commercial construction as-well-as commercial real estate finance. Investors and developers who need commercial mortgages will do well to pay attention to this trend.

Commercial Mortgage Loans – Getting a Loan From a Hedge Fund
Glenn Fydenkevez asked:
Hedge funds and private equity firms are investment companies set up by Wall Street investment banks and funded by wealthy individuals and cash rich corporate entities. Unlike standard, publicly traded mutual funds, hedge funds are largely unregulated and have much more leeway in their investment choices. Many of these funds have recognized the opportunity that’s emerged in commercial real estate lending, and have stepped in to fill the funding gap. The money managers in charge of these massive pools of capital are savvy investing pros, they know a good deal when they see it and can be very nimble. Hedge funds and private equity funds are not afraid of risk; in fact they thrive on it. If they like a deal, they make decisions quickly and can close loan or equity financing in just days.
There are many private funds that specialize in commercial real estate investing or have a commercial mortgage lending division. They are cash rich and actively seeking quality deals to fund. They can be an excellent alternative to banks and other traditional lenders. But, be aware, they are very professional and highly sophisticated. Do not approach hedge funds with shoddy or incomplete packages. They’re pros and work exclusively with other pros.
Hedge fund and private equity people have a Wall Street mentality; they are traders art heart. When they look at a deal they want to be able to make decisions quickly.
When approaching a fund you’ll want to have a complete, well documented package ready to show them at a moments notice, but don’t give it to them all at once. Having worked for Wall Street firms for more than 20 years, I’ve determined that the best way to approach money mangers is with a concise, well written 1 page deal summary.
Sum-up the selling points of your deal on a single sheet of paper, stressing the profit potential, the investors level of experience, the strength of the location and some of the other strong points of the project. They’ll appreciate the fact that you respected their time by being brief. If they like what they see they will ask for more. Give them precisely what they ask for; don’t bog them down with documentation until they tell you they want to see it. Sell them the big story before you try to sell them the details.
If you want to secure funding from a big private equity shop or a hedge fund, I’d strongly suggest you utilize the services of a professional intermediary with Wall Street experience. They can speak the language of fund managers and know exactly what’s important to highlight about a particular deal. These funds tend to operate like private clubs, it helps a-lot if you have an “in”. If you are fortunate enough to develop a relationship with this unique type of lender, you will enjoy a seemingly endless source of capital.

How to Choose Mortgage Broker and Commercial Loan Devon
Ken Wilson asked:
Those of you who want to resort to a home loan should consider a mortgage broker. A broker will help you save precious time and he will offer you expert advice. The benefits of using a broker are endless: the broker will identify your requirements, the mortgage options that meet your requirements, negotiate with lenders and even prepare the necessary documentation.
The most important thing about mortgage broker devon is that it’s for free; brokers make their living via the commissions they receive on each mortgage they secure; thus, the customer doesn’t have to pay a dime for the expert’s advice and assistance. Furthermore, mortgage broker devon will do all the work you should do and he will manage all of your paper work. The mortgage brokers are experts in their field, they are more than familiar with the mortgage market and they will be able to provide you with expert advice regarding your options.
However, before choosing mortgage broker devon you should consider the following aspects: how many lenders does the broker deal with, how does he get paid, is his commission big enough, can he identify the best solution in order to meet your demands, does he know how to select the proper solution, how much will the loan cost you, do you have any recommendations for him? All these aspects which might seem obvious to you, will help you make the right decision when selecting your mortgage broker devon.
Nowadays, getting a commercial loan devon is not as easy as it used to be. If you are interested in commercial loans, you should know that there are several types of such loans: commercial line of credit, term loans and commercial mortgages. Regarding the first type of commercial loan devon, it is essential to be aware of the fact that this type of loan is suitable only for people who are looking for short-term financing and that it resembles a low interest credit card.
The second type of commercial loan devon is intended for specific expenditures, for example for the purchase of office equipment and it can be paid in a larger period of time, which varies around five years. Companies who are looking to purchase, expand or build properties are advised to resort to commercial mortgages. However, before you opt for commercial loan devon, we suggest creating a well-thought business plan. This will enable you to communicate with possible lenders and to establish how much money you need to borrow.
If you believe you are ready fore a loan, it is a good idea to start first with the bank that deals with other aspects of your business. Once you have established a relationship with a bank and once the bank personnel knows you run a reputable business, it might be easier for you to receive the financing you need. In case your bank won’t give you commercial loan devon, you can start checking some other banks. The lenders are usually interested in the following aspects: your credit rating, your capacity to pay back the loan and the collateral.
Once you obtain a commercial loan, consider the interest rate and all the other fees; furthermore, find you it there is a penalty if you want to pay back the loan earlier. Opt for a lender which deals with companies that are the same size as yours and don’t forget to establish a relationship with the bank that will give you the loan, since this will turn out to be quite important in the long run.
