FAQ

Common Questions

What is the minimum loan amount for commercial financing?

Most commercial lenders start at $500,000. Smaller commercial transactions under $500K may qualify through SBA loans (7a or 504) or community bank portfolio programs. Call us to discuss your specific loan size.

How is commercial underwriting different from residential?

Commercial loans focus on the property's Net Operating Income (NOI) and DSCR rather than your personal income. The property must generate enough cash flow to cover the debt service. Personal credit and financial strength still matter but are secondary to the asset's performance.

What does DSCR 1.20x mean?

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) of 1.20x means the property generates $1.20 in income for every $1.00 of debt payments. A DSCR of 1.0 means it breaks even; below 1.0 means the property doesn't fully cover its own payments. Most commercial lenders require 1.20x minimum.

Can I get a non-recourse commercial loan?

Yes — non-recourse loans are available for stabilized properties with strong DSCR, typically at higher loan amounts ($2M+). Non-recourse means the lender can only pursue the property itself in case of default, not your personal assets. Most non-recourse loans include "bad boy" carve-outs for fraud or misrepresentation.

How long does commercial loan underwriting take?

Commercial loans typically take 30–60 days from application to close, compared to 21–30 days for residential. The timeline depends on property complexity, appraisal scheduling, environmental reports, and entity/title documentation. We work to move as fast as possible on every deal.
