Debt Service Coverage Ratio!

The most flexible approach to Debt Service Coverage Ratio for a commercial property loan will require a Debt Service Coverage Ratio in the range of 1 to 1.2, with exceptions permitting a Debt Service Coverage Ratio less than 1.
It is not unusual to encounter a minimum commercial real estate loan requirement of $500,000 to $1,000,000.
Many traditional banks require three to nine months to close a commercial mortgage. A more action-oriented commercial lender will close commercial real estate loans in 45 to 60 days.

The government is heavily promoting the M+ museum, set to open two years behind schedule in 2019, but questions of curatorial independence remain.

Tax Returns versus Stated Income!

Most traditional banks will require several years of tax returns in order to qualify for a commercial real estate loan. The alternative is to use a Stated Income lender that does not verify personal income or assets. Many borrowers will simply not qualify for a commercial mortgage loan if tax returns are used due to high business expenses (and low net income). Many lenders using tax returns will also continue to verify income after the loan closes. Stated Income lenders will not engage in this practice.

One of the pillars of President Trump’s economic agenda is a promise to unleash the American energy industry.

Sourcing And Seasoning Assets. Seasoning of Ownership!

This particular problem will not be relevant to all business borrowers. However, if it is relevant, you should seek out a lender without sourcing and seasoning requirements or limitations. Most banks have strict guidelines for sourcing and seasoning of assets or ownership to qualify for commercial real estate loans. For a purchase, commercial lenders will frequently want documentation about where the down payment is coming from (sourcing). Commercial lenders will also frequently have very specific requirements stipulating that the funds must have been in a specific account for a specific period of time, often 3-6 months or longer (seasoning). Seasoning of ownership is similar to seasoning of funds, except this requirement involves the minimum time someone has owned a commercial property before they can refinance the property.
