Lack of Lending Creates Loads of Uncertainty - CNBC

Lack of Lending Creates Loads of Uncertainty - CNBC
Since the market dropped in 2008, small businesses have struggled with a host of challenges, as consumers have cut back, operating costs have risen and banks have reined in lending. The challenges facing a small business owner today can be overwhelming. And those business owners don't expect things to get easier any time soon. . . .

Business owners still need access to capital and Commercial Capital brings funding sources from around the country to the local business owner and investor to help keep this economy moving!  This is our mission and have been working to fund many different types of loan scenarios.  Here are several exsamples of recent closings so you can get a feel for what is happening in the market, what is closing.  The bad news is that the credit markets remain tight; the good news is that there IS money to lend out there-you just need to know where to get it.  This is a sampling of recent loan closings:

$2.4 Million purchase of Red Roof Inn
          Where: Greensboro, NC
Type:  This was an exterior corridor hotel which is increasingly tough to get financed but we CAN get these deals done.   We closed this loan with $200K in renovation money rolled into the loan!

$385,000 Refinance on an Oil Change Business!
          Where:  Garland, TX
Type:  This is another of the many loans that we closed where one of the big banks approved the loan, then dragged on processing the file and finally denied it after 3 months, leaving the borrower out to dry.  We came in and got the loan closed overcoming serious medical and divorce issues with the client.  Be careful shopping around for rates in commercial lending, the most important thing is getting the loan closed.  No one does that better than us!

$2,870,000 Refinance of Student Housing Apartments
          Where: West Olive, MI
Type:  YES, we lend in Michigan!  This was a student housing apartment complex that needed to refinance because of a note coming due.  We got them a FNMA loan with an incredible 10 year fixed rate and a 30 year amortization.  We don’t just do the tough loans; we can get the strong deals done at the lowest rates as well!  When you have all the funding sources of the entire country available to you-whether it is agency, life companies, credit unions or more, you can often get the very best rates and terms for your clients!

$600,000 Note Discount Deal on Self Storage Facility
          Where:  North Aurora, IL
Type: Declining property values and a slower lease up time then expected put this borrower in a financial bind.  He owed $1.6 Million and the property only appraised for $1 million.  Unable to make the payments, the bank offered him a deep discount but no one was willing to finance a guy who had not made a payment in almost a year.  But we stepped in with our own private financing and got him $600,000!  The bank accepted it and the transaction closed in less than 30 days.  In total, this borrower saved $1.1 million in principal and more importantly, this loan saved the property.  If you are in a bind, give us a call-we just may be able to help!

$263,000 Firehouse Subs Start-up SBA 7A loan
          Where: Columbia, MD
Type: Getting start-up money for a restaurant with no real estate involved is never an easy chore, even for a strong franchise like Firehouse Subs.  In any given state, less than 5% of the banks will even consider this type of loan. But we have the sources to do it in every state.  These loans typically roll in all the costs from franchise fees, to build-out, to equipment and even working capital.  We have done these loans both with SBA financing and conventional financing.  We close one or more of these pretty much every month.  If you are looking at buying a franchise or starting a business, we are the experts you need to talk to about getting the financing lined up!

$460,000 Hardware Store Purchase
          Where: Atlanta, GA
Type:  This was a straight purchase of a non-franchise hardware store that was already running.  This was another loan that got turned down by one of the big banks after they had initially approved it.  It is amazing to me how often that happens.  But we took the loan, found conventional/SBA financing at great rates and got the deal done!  Whether in GA or around the country, we are the source for all your commercial needs!
If you or anyone you know needs to close a commercial loan, whether it is a start-up for a franchise or a refinance of an office building…give us a call at 863-299-2929 or 813-833-3132.

REFINANCE YOUR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE: Do it With NO Additional Equity Injection

Commercial real estate property owners are being FORCED to refinance by banks or by the new note holders who bought the loan from the bank and FEW banks will refinance a discounted note.
WE CAN DO IT WITH NO ADDITIONAL EQUITY INJECTION!

Rates are low, and banks are heavily discounting these notes. This note discount opportunity is a HUGE OPPORTUNITY for property owners to take advantage of it.  Most of the refinances we do involve a discount on a note in some way, shape or form. It is an AWESOME opportunity for the MILLIONS of property owners with notes to be discounted over the next few years. We are at the forefront of that opportunity for refinancing nationwide.  We can finance up to 100% of the discounted value!

IMPORTANT Business Financing Update! Major Changes to SBA 504 Debt Refinancing Program

SBA Launches Major Changes to 504 Debt Refinancing Program
Key Program Features:
·         Up to 90% LTV on refinances
·         Refinance existing debt
·         Use excess equity to obtain working capital that can be used for financing of eligible business expenses.
·         Cash out potential
·         Low fixed rates
·         No balloons
SBA launched this temporary program on Feb. 17, 2011, and began accepting loan applications on February 28, 2011.  The program will end on September 27, 2012.
Beginning October 12, 2011 borrowers can finance up to 90 percent of the appraised value of available collateral, which could include fixed assets acceptable to SBA (for example:  commercial or residential real property).  This allows borrowers with more than 10 percent equity to be able to obtain additional proceeds to pay for eligible business expenses.
In April, SBA expanded the program parameters by allowing any business with a commercial mortgage that is two or more years old to refinance its debt, regardless of maturity.
The program is structured like SBA’s traditional 504 loan program: borrowers will work with third-party lending institutions and SBA-approved Certified Development Companies (CDCs), typically private, non-profit organizations to obtain financing, in a traditional 10%/50%/40% split.  However, the program no longer requires the Third Party Lender to be 50 percent of the Project.  The Third Party Lender amount must be equal to or greater than the SBA amount.  This allows the small business to maximize the amount of long-term, low interest, fixed rate financing available.
Click here for more information about the SBA 504 Refinancing Program
Following is a summary of the refinancing program changes as published Oct. 12, 2011, in the Federal Register:
* Third Party Lender Loan – The third party lender loan is no longer required to be at least 50% of the appraised value of the 504-eligible fixed assets.  Now, as in the regular 504 loan program, the third party lender loan must be at least as much as the 504 loan.
* Financing Business Expenses – A borrower may now use its equity to finance eligible business expenses as part of the refinancing project provided that the amount of cash funds available to pay business expenses exceeds the amount to be paid to the lender of the qualified debt being refinanced. The borrower’s application must include a specific description of the business expenses to be financed and an itemization of the amount of each expense. 
"Eligible business expenses" is defined as expenses of the borrower, such as salaries, rent, utilities, inventory, or other obligation of the business that were incurred, but not paid prior to date of the 504 loan application or that become due for payment within 18 months after the date of the application. 
Both the CDC and borrower will be required to certify in the application that the funds will be used to cover the eligible business expenses of the borrower.  The borrower must, upon request, substantiate the use of funds to finance the business expenses (for example, through bank statements, invoices marked "paid," cleared checks, etc.).
* Qualified Debt – Because the qualified debt to be refinanced may have been refinanced one or more times previously with the borrower using its equity at that time to finance working capital or other expenses, the SBA has amended the regulation to provide that as follows:  if the eligible fixed asset was originally financed through a commercial loan that would have satisfied the “substantially all” standard of 85% and was subsequently refinanced one or more times with the current commercial loan being the most recent refinancing, then the current commercial loan will be deemed to satisfy the "substantially all" standard.  The borrower must certify that the existing debt satisfies the applicable requirements and the third party lender must certify, as part of the 504 loan application, that it has no reason to believe that the existing debt does not satisfy these requirements.
 On a random basis, the SBA may require the borrower and/or lender to submit additional documentation to support these certifications prior to closing the debenture, including the documents for the original loan used to acquire the fixed asset and subsequent refinancing documents to show that the current commercial loan is the most recent refinancing.  The SBA will cancel an approved 504 loan if the documents do not support the certifications.  If the borrower and/or lender are unable to produce the additional documentation, each must certify that it has made a diligent search for the documents and that the documents are not in its possession. The SBA will not cancel an approved loan solely because the borrower and/or lender are unable to produce the documentation unless the lender is the original lender who made the original loan to acquire the 504-eligible fixed asset (and not a lender who acquired or merged with the original lender.)
This same change in the "substantially all" standard has also been made for the 504 permanent expansion debt refinance program.
* Occupancy – The original loan may not have satisfied the percentage occupancy requirements of 51/49% for an existing building or 60/20/20% for new construction. The final regulations provide that as long as the borrower can demonstrate that it now occupies at least 51% of the building as of the date of 504 loan application, the percentage occupancy requirements are met.
* Current on Payments – The definition of “current on all payments due for not less than one year” has been amended to allow a borrower to be deemed current as long as during the 12-month period prior to the date of 504 loan application, no payment was more than 30 days past due under either the original payment terms or under modified payment terms (including deferments). Any modification of payment terms must have been agreed to in writing by the borrower and lender prior to Oct. 12, 2011, when the final regulations were published.  The SBA reserves the right to decide whether modified repayment terms would preclude refinancing.
* Closing Period – Temporary debt refinance 504 loans must be disbursed within six (6) months after loan approval unless an extension for good cause has been granted.  Extensions of the disbursement period up to an additional 3 months may now be granted for good cause.

Capital Constraint Still Continues…..

Capital Constraint Still Continues…..

Had an interesting meeting last week with a consortium of credit unions in Seattle.  They were engaging us to help create a strategic plan for creating a Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO).  Credit unions have a lot of capital to deploy right now and you would think they are aggressively lending – but what we found out was that they are actually quite nervous about government audits, about defaults, about the marketplace in general.  They need to lend, but they are cautious about it.  Fear, is a bigger concern than profit.

Local banks have the exact same fears and it constrains them as well.  In fact, in my discussion with hundreds of local banks over the last few months, it appears as many as 60-70% of them are NOT REALLY LENDING!  Combine this with the fact that the big 5 banks deny 80-90% of the applications they take in and you see the true state of money availability to the local business owner or real estate investor.  You won't read that in the media – that is not what the powers-that-be want you to hear.  But that is what is going on behind the scenes and like any problem, it provides an opportunity for someone.  At Commercial Capital, we have resources around the country that ARE aggressively lending.  If a deal is a good deal, we have resources to fund it.  That includes life companies, hedge funds, conduit lending, private money AND local banks and credit unions that ARE lending.  We can bring the resources of the country to the local investor or business owner and keep the money flowing to the businesses and entities that are out there making it happen. Those are the heroes that are really growing the economy.  When we get a loan for that business owner, that opens up jobs and opportunities.  That is what these people need.

On Friday, we closed a $6.4 Million loan through our in-house lending facility for one of the largest re-modeling contractor companies in the country.  That loan will pay off a bank loan and will free up credit lines to help him handle the huge orders he just received that are going to add millions to his bottom line.  That leads to more jobs and more growth.  A broker brought the deal to us.  We split the one point fee and we locked the client in at 5.11% fixed for 5 years – WOW!  And we did almost all the work on the file! This guy is a multi-millionaire with a strong company and is a strong borrower with millions in the bank and he could not get funded locally and ended up with a broker.  Lucky for him, that broker found us.

We can get deals closed.  Our Company Mission Statement is this, "Commercial Capital brings funding sources from around the country to the local business owner and investor to help keep this economy moving!" WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT IT.

WHAT WE DO IS IMPORTANT.  WHAT WE DO IS NEEDED.  THE OPPORTUNITY IS AWESOME.
