Bad Credit Commercial Loans and Mortgages
Posted by admin in Toronto Commercial Properties Thursday, 21 January 2010 18:32 No Comments
While credit profile is an important consideration in the lending decision it is not the only one. A bad credit commercial mortgage or loan is available to individuals and businesses with less than perfect, or poor credit ratings. These are also called “sub-prime” loans.
Bad credit commercial loans and mortgages are available for any sort of commercial purpose. Bad credit commercial loans can be used to remodel a manufacturing plant to make it run more swiftly, for example. Bad credit commercial mortgages can also be used to restructure or expand the existing business. Also, much like bad credit home loans, bad credit commercial loans can be used to actually pay off debt and improve your credit.
Bad credit may not stand in the way of obtaining your loan or mortgage request. What is essential, however, is a clear detailed plan of your commercial purpose for the loan, as well as a plan for repayment. With bad credit commercial loans and mortgages, bad credit may not hurt anymore, but rather it gets improved. And then, with timely payments, you can eventually improve your credit score and overall credit report even further.
Not all commercial property owners and prospective commercial property owners are alike and thus each loan request is treated as a unique scenario. A good broker will try to maximize their clients’ opportunities to get the commercial property loan that meets their objectives, even if their credit history is less than perfect. Creative and time-tested financing techniques are still available even in the present market to make brokers’ services more effective and responsive to borrower’s needs. Rates can vary quite dramatically across products, so it is important that there is very thorough understanding of the client’s situation so that the best product can be secured for them.
Securing the right commercial mortgage or loan is a very important decision. Because sub-prime mortgage loans can often be a complicated process, it’s important you speak with the right people. The idea is to improve your credit score and get you back on track with manageable debt and payment schedules. Even if your initial goal is to expand or renovate your business, purchase equipment, obtain much-needed working capital, or anything else, a sub-prime bad credit commercial mortgage can actually help improve your overall credit. Combined with timely payments, a sub-prime bad credit mortgage can put you in the right direction towards achieving both your short term, as well as your long term business goals.

Commercial mortgages are available through banks, commercial mortgage companies and private lenders. Commercial mortgage rates vary as widely as residential mortgage rates. Traditional banks offer some very low rates. However, due to their restrictive lending criteria, they are prevented from making commercial mortgages for many kinds of commercial properties. Gas stations, with or without convenience stores, for example, can be difficult to obtain commercial mortgages for. Commercial mortgages can also be difficult to obtain from traditional banks if you don’t have excellent personal and business credit scores.
Hard money commercial mortgages are also available through private lenders. Unlike traditional banks, private lenders have more flexible lending criteria. Also known as hard money lenders, private commercial mortgage companies focus more on the current value of a commercial property than on your personal financial package.
Private lenders are often able to fund a commercial mortgage if there is a clear picture of how the loan will be paid back. When determining whether to fund a commercial mortgage, private lenders will often look at the ratio of income to operating expenses. Unless a borrower has repeated defaults and bankruptcies, private lenders are not as concerned if the borrower has less than perfect credit.
When applying for a commercial mortgage, be prepared to provide your commercial mortgage company, be it a bank or a hard money private commercial mortgage lender, with the following:
- A completed standard commercial mortgage loan application, which includes a personal and business balance sheet
- A description of the use of proceeds of the commercial mortgage you are seeking
- A description of the property
- The current value/purchase price of the property
- The cost of improvements you will make to the property
- An estimate of the property’s value after improvements
- A repayment plan for the commercial mortgage/hard money loan
- For a hard money loan, provide an exit strategy for the commercial mortgage
- will you refinance this commercial mortgage with a traditional bank after making improvements or alterations to the existing property or some other scenario?
Owners considering a commercial mortgage refinance will find many unique loan programs. Specialists of commercial mortgage refinancing offer some of the best loan options available, most of which local banks simply don’t have. Refinancing your commercial mortgage is not an act exclusively reserved for the time your commercial mortgage matures. There are some great reasons for refinancing your commercial mortgage prior to this (see the article “Why a Commercial Equity Loan”).
Now, given the current the state of the capital markets its more important than ever to work with seasoned professionals. Lender guidelines and underwriting parameters are changing rapidly as banks try to protect themselves. Options for commercial mortgage refinances, though still broad, are getting harder to determine and close. Just as important it is key to know not only which lenders are offering the lowest rate and fees but which are still actively funding loans. A good, seasoned mortgage professional will know who these lenders are.

Toronto Real Estate – a Strong Market Trembles, Recovers
Posted by admin in Toronto Commercial Properties Sunday, 20 December 2009 18:40 No Comments
Toronto is Canada’s most promising city. It has a lively culture, impressive architecture, a diverse history and an educated, affluent population. The real estate market in recent years has been largely immune to the foils experience in other parts of the country. For the most part, residential and commercial properties maintained or gained ground in recent years.
But since 2007, when the rest of the country was hardest hit by a global recession, Toronto too deflated. No city is immune to a recession as powerful as the one now sweeping international locales. For a long time, though, Toronto seemed to defy the trend. It seemed to have the right combination of economic might and international attraction, coupled with gleaming new buildings and clean public parks.
So it was surprising and anticipated when the Greater Toronto Realtors last week released the bleak numbers on Toronto’s market.
Greater Toronto Realtors reported 888 sales during the first half of January compared to 1,776 in the first 15 days of 2008. “According to Statistics Canada the economic situation throughout Canada changed noticeably over the past year with job losses in the fourth quarter of 2008. Toronto is not immune to this, the GTA housing market has been impacted,” according to TREB President Maureen O’Neill.
The average GTA price mid-way through January is $332,495 from $367,574 during the same period in 2008. The median GTA price was $301,000 compared to 316,000 last year. “While sales have declined, listings have remained high. GTA home buyers have benefitted from more choice,” explained Ms. O’Neill. “Historically, increased choice in the marketplace has equated to a moderation in price growth.”
In January 2009, stronger declines in sales and prices were experienced in the City of Toronto. “Sales for January a year ago may have been elevated by the flurry of transactions completed before the city’s land transfer tax went into effect,” added Ms. O’Neill.
“The cost of home ownership in the 416 has increased due to the added land transfer tax many home buyers now face in the City of Toronto. Some households considering the purchase of a home in the City have either put their decision on hold or looked elsewhere in the GTA.”
As these numbers demonstrate, Toronto is precipitously close to its own real estate crisis. But it has certain things working in its favor. The first is the city’s beauty. While this does not stave off a recession, Toronto’s appeal entices tourism and a population that celebrates its surroundings. It is also a relatively new city—where its wealth and property developments are concerned. This allows Toronto to grow at a rate that is convenient for its welfare.
For many residents, the real estate slowdown is a good thing. Home prices will fall, and as much of the population has the capital, good credit and job security it takes to buy, many people are exploring new real estate options.
