Mortgage Refinance on a commercial property can be tricky, but it is possible to prepare yourself by becoming very familiar with how the process works, what to beware of and some of the terminology, this will help you understand what to expect at the same time increasing your knowledge.
Without some familiarity pertaining to a Mortgage Refinance it could be difficult to understand where to start. Without some experience in financing, whether it's on an initial loan or a Residential Loan, these terms may seem like foreign language or somewhat silly for such a serious matter. A few examples would be: Arm, Balloon, Bridge Loans, Mezzanine Loans, Conduit or CMBS Loans etc.
The initial thought process you had used before will be slightly different from the one used to prepare for a Mortgage Refinance. You had to think about the time it will take to secure a loan this size. It is possible for the amount of time specified on the contract to purchase could expire before you get funded, protection from default on such a large loan, not to mention collateral, down payment, closing costs and so on, not too unlike a mortgage on a house. Although, some of these items are the same, it can become very complicated on a loan this size for a commercial property as you get further along.
Long before you ever dreamed of a Loan Refinance you had to make sure you can handle such an obligation with the original commercial loan by speaking to your Financial Advisor and your Accountant about how long your finances could carry the loan if things don't go as planned.
Before we move on to Mortgage Refinance terms let's recap what terms you had to learn before, such as 1031 Tax Exchange, Environmental Reports, what type of commercial property qualifies for what type of loan, which is a lot for one to learn, the difference between Conduit and Mezzanine Loans, and so on.
Let's recap what terms you had to learn before, such as 1031 Tax Exchange, Environmental Reports, what type of commercial property qualifies for what type of loan, which is a lot for one to learn, the difference between Conduit and Mezzanine Loans, and so on. Most importantly, you had to find a great Broker that offers a variety of innovative loan programs for your specific need. So now, it is time to look at Mortgage Refinance.
The cost to complete a Mortgage Refinance for a commercial property can turn out to be quite high if you were under the impression it would be less than an original loan. An appraisal can run between $2,000 - $5,000, Title between $800 - $2,000, Phase One Environmental Report around $2,000 and lender processing fees around $1,000.
It is very important to look at how closing costs will affect the equity you have been building over the years. Two of the biggest reasons people look at Loan Refinance, are to get a lower interest rate than they currently have, this means lower monthly note payments (lower monthly payment means more cash in your pocket) and the second reason people refinance their mortgage is to "cash out" some of the equity they have built over time and invest it in a new project. Remember that knowledge is power, so stay informed by reading and researching your topic. - 16492
