Is a commercial
loan right for you?

Commercial and SBA loans cover the deals that sit past residential guidelines: larger multifamily, mixed-use, and business-owned property. If most of these sound like you, it is worth a conversation.

  • You are buying or refinancing a property with five or more units, or "doors."
  • You need business-purpose commercial financing, not a consumer home loan.
  • You own a business and want to buy the building it operates in.
  • You hold, or plan to hold, the property in an LLC or other entity.
  • Your deal is too large or too specialized for a standard residential program.

Questions

Commercial, answered

The questions investors ask most about commercial and SBA loans. Anything else, just call or text.

What counts as a commercial loan here?

Business-purpose financing for property that sits beyond residential guidelines, including multifamily of five or more units, mixed-use, and commercial real estate. These are not consumer loans and are not for a home you intend to occupy.

Why do five or more units go through commercial?

Residential investment programs generally cover one to four units. Once a property has five or more units, or "doors," it is underwritten as commercial multifamily, with terms and documentation set by the commercial lender.

What is an SBA loan and who is it for?

SBA programs help business owners buy or refinance the property their business occupies. They are for owner-users, not passive investors, and typically require you to occupy a majority of the space.

Can I close in an LLC or other entity?

Yes. Business-purpose commercial loans can close in an LLC, corporation, or other approved entity, subject to lender guidelines. MaryAnn will walk you through the options for your deal.

What states do you work in?

Business-purpose investor loans are available in most states, and it depends on the property state and program. Ask about yours in the first conversation.
