Key takeaways

• Commercial real estate loans are used to purchase, construct, rehabilitate or refinance commercial properties, as opposed to residential ones.
• However, they might also be used to buy and develop land for residential homes to be built and sold.
• With a CRE loan, the borrower's credit and income are less important than in residential loans — the property's potential income is the main factor.

Whether you’re a developer embarking on a new subdivision project or an office building owner looking to refinance, chances are you’ll need a commercial real estate loan. Unlike residential real estate, commercial real estate refers to property that’s used for business, such as a hotel, office park or shopping center. The typical commercial real estate loan borrower might be a business owner (including small business owners), developer or investor. Commercial real estate loans work differently than residential mortgages in terms of underwriting, structure, interest rates and fees, and there are several types to choose from.

What are CRE loans?

Commercial real estate loans, often called CRE loans for short, are typically used to purchase, construct, rehabilitate or refinance commercial, industrial and other non-owner-occupied property. That can include office buildings, multi-unit rental buildings, medical facilities, warehouses, hotels or vacant land on which one or more of these types of properties will be built. They can also be used to buy and develop land on which homes will be constructed and sold.

Unlike buying a home with a residential mortgage, the underlying asset for a commercial loan is not a primary residence. Instead, the commercial lender underwrites based on the income — such as rent from tenants — and expenses that the property will generate.

“Ideal candidates to pursue a commercial real estate loan include borrowers who either own the property and are seeking to lower their interest rate by refinancing or seek to obtain capital through a cash-out refinance,” says Chris Moreno, CEO of GoKapital in Miami. “Business owners who rent a location and qualify for a commercial real estate loan may be better off obtaining financing to purchase their business property.”

Commercial real estate loan types

CRE loans come in many different varieties. Here’s a rundown of common commercial real estate loan types to pick from.

Commercial real estate loans are also classified by asset classes. These include apartment buildings, office spaces, medical facilities and industrial properties, as well as multi-unit versus single-tenant assets.

“All of these are evaluated differently by the lender,” says Barry Saywitz, president of the Saywitz Company, a commercial real estate brokerage based in Newport Beach, California. “The value of the asset will be determined by the appraisal required, and the appraisal will be determined based on the quality of the tenant, their credit, payment history and rental rate, and the condition of the building and expenses involved.”

CRE loans for investment properties

Commercial real estate loans can be ideal for financing many different kinds of investment properties. But it’s important to understand the rules.

“The investment property must be capable of generating income, and the strength of the sponsor/owner will likely be relied upon for evaluating the loan,” says Rohit Mathur, CEO of commercial lending company Bridge in New York City and Charlotte.

Like all loans, the lender will broadly evaluate the confidence that the loan for an investment property will be repaid, according to Adam Kenney, chief product officer for Numerated, a Boston-based commercial lending platform.

“What’s unique about a CRE loan is that the property will get evaluated as much or potentially more than the business holding the loan,” Kenney says. “The property’s ability to reliably produce positive cash flow is almost always going to be the biggest determining factor in the ability to repay the loan.”

Commercial loan rates fluctuate depending on the property type and the anticipated income it will generate. Commercial buyers may need to provide a larger down payment than regular homebuyers, as commercial lenders typically require lower loan-to-value ratios. Just like with residential loans, commercial loan interest rates are influenced by various factors and adjust frequently based on market conditions.

Commercial loan vs. residential loan

Commercial loan.

• Used for development and business properties
• Underwriting relies on the business financial plan
• Typically shorter payoff periods

Residential loan

• Used for personal residences
• Underwriting relies on the personal finances of the borrower
• Typically longer payoff periods

Like a residential mortgage, a commercial mortgage can be used to purchase or refinance a property. Commercial real estate loans, however, typically come with a shorter term than a residential mortgage loan. A commercial loan could have fixed rate for five years and a 15-year term, amortized over 20 years, for example, says James Sandagato, senior vice president at Cornerstone Bank in Southbridge, Massachusetts.

“The interest rate would adjust every five years, and the balance would be due at the end of the 15-year term, which is referred to as a balloon note,” Sandagato says. “The balance could then be repaid at the end of the term, or the loan can be renewed on rates, terms and conditions to be determined at that time.”

Commercial loan lenders also look to the property, not the borrower, as the source of debt repayment. “With a residential loan, the lender underwrites the repayment capacity of the borrower by analyzing his or her income and creditworthiness,” says Suzanne Hollander, a real estate attorney and professor at Florida International University in Miami. “A commercial loan lender looks at the debt service coverage ratio from the income the property will generate.”

Riley Manke, a director at Walker & Dunlop in Calabasas, California, notes that residential loans “rely heavily on a borrower’s credit score and their debt-to-income ratio, while CRE underwriting relies on a borrower’s net worth, liquidity and experience with the product type they are seeking financing on.”

In addition, the fees and closing costs involved with a commercial real estate loan are commonly much higher than those for a residential mortgage, along with the down payment. Count on making a down payment of at least 20 percent, although up to 45 percent could be required.

The appraisal process is different, as well, Saywitz says. A commercial real estate appraiser will review the property’s potential rental income, comparable sales and prospective replacement costs. This generally takes longer than a residential appraisal that often merely examines comparable sales in the area .

Additionally, when it comes to interest rates, expect to pay more for a commercial mortgage if you’re obtaining it through a private lender, says Moreno. “If you’re looking to close on a transaction quickly or have less-than-perfect credit, you’ll probably have to work with a private lender,” he says.

How to get a commercial real estate loan

The process of seeking and applying for financing for a commercial property involves several key steps.

• Assess the commercial property’s financials carefully. “Lenders will not only review your personal credit history and financials, but they will also evaluate the underlying asset thoroughly,” Moreno says.
• Determine the type of commercial loan you need and shop around. If you have a strong credit profile and your financials are in good shape, you should be able to work with a bank. “Typically, the main avenue borrowers use is to source lenders directly, such as by going to individual banks and soliciting options,” says Mathur.
• Complete a commercial real estate loan application. You’ll need to provide documentation, such as personal and business tax returns, a personal financial statement, personal balance sheet and historical income and expenses for the property. “[This] can also include the property seller’s Schedule E from their federal tax return or a financial statement prepared by the seller,” Sandagato says. Also, be ready to furnish a current listing of each tenant, the space they occupy, tenancy commencement dates, lease details and lease agreements.
• Await the loan processing and underwriting. The lender will use the information you provide to substantiate the property’s ability to repay the debt. “In general, lenders are looking for the property to be able to support a debt service coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1,” Sandagato says. “What that means is, for every $1 in mortgage debt on an annual basis, there is $1.20 in cash flow to support it.”
• Close on the loan. Closing a commercial loan can often take longer than it would for a residential mortgage. “Remember that the lender views a loan to purchase commercial property as more risky than residential, so they need to do their due diligence,” Hollander says.

If you’re looking to buy commercial real estate, a good starting point when reaching out to brokers is to demonstrate that you’re credible. You’ll want to present yourself in a way that shows you’re interested in the market. When done well, establishing your credibility could get you a more serious response. You might uncover great opportunities, as others will notice your intent and may reach out with deals they think you could act on.

Follow these strategies to establish credibility when purchasing commercial real estate:

1. Leverage Your Track Record

If you’re an established investor, sharing what you’ve done in the past can show others that you’re active in the market. You might set up a website where you showcase your holdings and post information about your investments on social media. Brokers who know you're engaged may prioritize your calls, as they’ll know you’ve carried out successful transactions in the past.

Alex Rabin speaks of building up credentials to invest in real estate on the “Insider’s Edge to Real Estate Investing” podcast.

2. Partner for Credibility

If you’re new to real estate investing, you can use other tools besides a track record to establish credibility. You might partner with someone else who has a solid reputation and a history of high-performing investments. When establishing a partnership, you may offer to bring value to the table by doing part of the legwork involved in the buying process. The partner can bring their expertise and access to capital and funding opportunities.

Perhaps you’ve carried out several investments in one city and are interested in transacting in another region. If you arrive at the new place without knowing anyone, it might be difficult to make a connection. Rather than showing up with no connections, you could ask the broker you’ve worked with in the past if they know anyone in the new area. They might be able to make an introduction, which can help establish your credibility and move forward in different markets.

4. Present Your Offer Well

After you’ve looked at a property and want to make a bid, I often recommend a written offer. If you can include a brochure that shows your capability as a buyer, the seller might take you more seriously. You could also attach documents that highlight your track record. In my book, “ The Insider’s Edge to Real Estate Investing ,” I lay out additional details on how to present a great offer.

5. Stay Transparent

If you’re new to the market or the industry, be upfront about it. Acknowledge your status and emphasize your dedication to learning and understanding the market. Brokers appreciate honesty and are more likely to invest their time with someone who they perceive as transparent.

Whether you’re a seasoned investor with a proven track record or a newcomer eager to establish yourself, demonstrating credibility can help open doors as you search for property. By making the most of your track record, highlighting your past transactions, and collaborating with experienced partners, you’ll be on your way to having conversations about possible deals. In the next article, we’ll cover ways to take the right approach for buying real estate, which is the next step in the investing process.

Blackstone, Invesco Buy Pompano Beach Warehouses

By julia echikson may 7, 2024 3:25 pm.

Blackstone (BX) and Invesco Real Estate (IVZ) bought three warehouses, all in Pompano Beach, Fla., in separate transactions that totaled $44.6 million — nearly double the sales price recorded since the last time the sites traded hands. 

In the largest deal, Invesco Real Estate paid $23.9 million for two warehouses that together span 94,106 square feet.

Located between 1280 and 1300 NW 22nd Street , the bigger building, which stretches 68,806 square feet, features 22-foot clearance height, rear loading, 11 dock-high doors, two drive-in doors, and 110 car parking spaces. 

The smaller, 25,300-square-foot building at 2151 Blount Road , houses 18.5-foot clearance height, rear loading, six dock-high doors, one drive-in door, and 33 car parking spaces.

Back in 2016, the Los Angeles-based seller, Ares Management , purchased the portfolio for nearly $9 million, according to property records. The properties are now fully leased, according to CBRE , whose Jose Lobón , Frank Fallon , Trey Barry , and Royce Rose represented Ares.

Five miles south at 3141 SW 10th Street , Blackstone affiliate Link Logistics bought a 93,873-square-foot manufacturing and distribution facility for $20.7 million. Bennett Auto Supply commissioned the property in 2001 and sold it to Elion Partners for $11.7 million in 2020, according to property records. Today, The Shade Store uses the space to manufacture and distribute window treatments as well as house its logistics department.

Cushman & Wakefield ’s Dominic Montazemi , Mike Davis , Greg Miller , Rick Brugge and Rick Colon represented the seller in the recent transaction.

The appreciation of the three properties reflects the tightening of South Florida’s industrial market since the pandemic, which boosted online shopping sales and the region’s population. In the last quarter, Broward County boasted a vacancy rate of 3.5 percent for industrial properties, according to research by CBRE.
