When Thinking of Mortgage Refinance
Below I have mentioned few terms to become familiar with to help increase your knowledge and help you become prepared and learn what to expect as you approach a Mortgage Refinance for a commercial property.
Long before I became involved in Commercial Financing and Real Estate Development, I would hear terms mentioned in regards to Residential and Commercial Loans and Mortgage Refinance options, ARMS, Balloons etc. I had absolutely no experience in real estate or how to acquire a mortgage loan, so these terms were like a foreign language to me. I realized very quickly without thorough knowledge of the terminology it is hard to understand what direction you will go.
The initial thought process you had used before will be slightly different from the one used to prepare for a Mortgage Refinance. You had to think about the time it will take to secure a loan this size. It is possible for the amount of time specified on the contract to purchase could expire before you get funded, protection from default on such a large loan, not to mention collateral, down payment, closing costs and so on, not too unlike a mortgage on a house. Although, some of these items are the same, it can become very complicated on a loan this size for a commercial property as you get further along.
Long before you ever dreamed of a Loan Refinance you had to make sure you can handle such an obligation with the original commercial loan by speaking to your Financial Advisor and your Accountant about how long your finances could carry the loan if things don't go as planned.
Before we move on to Loan Refinance terms let's recap what terms you had to learn before, such as 1031 Tax Exchange, Environmental Reports, what type of commercial property qualifies for what type of loan, which is a lot for one to learn, the difference between Conduit and Mezzanine Loans, and so on.
Do a simple break even analysis to compare costs of other lenders versus your existing bank. If they know you are looking for a Mortgage Refinance, your current bank may offer to reset the loan.
The cost to complete a Mortgage Refinance for a commercial property can turn out to be quite high if you were under the impression it would be less than an original loan. An appraisal can run between $2,000 - $5,000, Title between $800 - $2,000, Phase One Environmental Report around $2,000 and lender processing fees around $1,000.
Successful Brokerage firms will want to share information with you. Remember, knowledge is power, stay informed by reading and researching your topic. When looking for a Broker don't hesitate to ask how long they have been in business and their approval vs. denial ratio.
