What is a Commercial Mortgage?
Commercial mortgages are still mortgages but specialized for a business to purchase a commercial property. For such a mortgage, there is something called a loan-to-value ratio. This ration can be lower for a commercial mortgage, and that means that the loan covers less of the total value of the property. Commercial mortgages have a higher interest rate than a residential one.
When you apply for a commercial mortgage, lenders will always keep your credit, your capacity to pay, and your collateral in mind. You will need to be prepared so you don’t make mistakes. Here is a list to help you have all the needed documents and be prepared.
- Tax returns
- Assets statements
- Liability statements
- Financial records of your business
- Financial history records
- Profiles of any directors or business partners.
Things to Remember When Getting A Commercial Mortgage
- Remember costs of residential and commercial mortgages are not the same. There are a few differences between commercial and residential mortgages, and your lender will be able to explain them. One noticeable difference is that costs are higher when purchasing a commercial property.
- Have a business plan: Have a plan that includes operating data and financial information. It will show the lender you are responsible. It shows you have goals. Bring all needed documents when you go to discuss your loan.
- Hire an experienced lawyer: Don’t grab the cheapest lawyer right away. Find a lawyer who has experience in handling this type of loan, with a record of success. Hiring a friend, or the cheapest lawyer may cost you more later.
- Have cash ready: Y should have some sort of available cash before you apply for a commercial loan. Lenders like to see if you are ready and prepared to fund some of the project.
- Shop around: Some people take the first offer given to them, but use discretion to sort through loan offers. Look over your options before settling on one loan. You should pick what is right for you.
- Have a plan for the funds: Have a plan and tell your mortgage lender what you want to do with the funds. Lenders seem to be will be more than willing to give you a loan, when you do that. Sometimes, the lenders will also ask you if you have a time frame for any project completion.
