Securing a US Commercial Mortgage

Author: Commercial Lifeline

What’s the most efficient way to secure a US Commercial Mortgage? Work with a mortgage broker who specializes in this area. If you’ve ever applied for a loan, you’re familiar with the mountain of paperwork you are required to complete during the process. The lender takes the applicant’s information, runs it thought their guidelines and formulas and after waiting many weeks, a decision is made to either approve or deny the loan. If approved, the transaction can proceed. If denied, the applicant has to begin the process all over again.

US commercial mortgage lenders use guidelines similar to those used when applying for a residential loan. The applicant must provide a good reason for needing the loan. The property must have an acceptable appraised value. The location of the property is also considered. The credit history of the applicant, including the financial condition of the business is thoroughly investigated. In addition, commercial mortgages require significant collateral to secure the loan. This can be in the form of business equipment or inventory, personal or other properties, heavy machinery, or any asset with a significant value.

But even the most carefully prepared and well-documented commercial mortgage applications can be declined. When this happens, the applicant has no other choice than to start the tedious commercial mortgage loan approval process over again. Weeks go by, opportunities are lost, and still the outcome remains unknown. How many times do you want to go through this process?

Most applicants agree the correct answer is only once. The way to achieve this goal is to work with an experienced and reputable US commercial mortgage broker. A broker takes your one completed commercial mortgage application and submits it to many different commercial lenders, all at the same time, which greatly increases your chances of approval and saves you a considerable amount of time.

A commercial mortgage broker works with these different lenders every day. The broker knows what each lender looks for in an application and sends your application to those with the best chances of approving your loan. This method is highly targeted. And, brokers only get paid when they successfully match applicant with lender. Their financial incentive is what motivates them. Best of all, the lender pays the broker’s fees, not the applicant.

Working with a commercial mortgage broker costs you, the applicant, nothing. Working with a broker frees up your time so you can get back to running your business. Working with a broker greatly increases your chances of getting your commercial loan approved fast. In fact, brokers often get approval from multiple lenders which puts applicants in a great position to bargain better loan terms. And best of all, brokers will handle these negotiations!

There are so many reasons why working with a US commercial mortgage broker makes sense. Yet it’s amazing how many applicants don’t take advantage of their services. You work hard at streamlining your business and cutting your operating costs so why not streamline your commercial loan approval process? For fast results, contact a US commercial mortgage broker today!
