Do you do commercial loans vested in the name of a trust?
Yes. We will lend to the trustees of the trust when a property is vested in a trust. Our program does not lend to the trust, but to the trustees.
Will you do a second behind a private party first?
Yes.
Will you subordinate a loan or line to second position after it has been closed in first position?
No, we will not move from first position to second position after a deal has been closed. However, if we close a loan in second position, and then the first is refinanced, we will likely resubordinate our original second position.
What percent of occupancy do you consider to be "owner-occupied"?
If the borrower occupies at least 51% of the available square footage, the property is considered owner-occupied.
What credit bureau do you use for determining a borrower’s credit-worthiness?
We typically run a single report from one of the three major providers. We do not use a tri-merge report.
If you are not doing a full appraisal, how do you determine property value?
We do a desktop evaluation and a physical inspection of the property. To ensure an accurate description of the property for our evaluation, we need to work with you to complete a detailed property characteristics worksheet. This worksheet is completed after the application has been conditionally approved.
Do you do environmentally sensitive properties?
Yes. We can do first liens on a variety of environmentally sensitive properties as long as we can obtain environmental insurance. We cannot go in second lien position on environmental properties unless the first lien is with us.
Does your product have a pre-payment penalty?
Yes. There is a pre-payment penalty on fixed-rate loans; but you will find it to be one of the most competitive in the market.
Years:
1-2 3%
3-4 2%
5 + 1%
There is an early closure fee on adjustable loans and lines of credit. The fee is $1,500 if closed within the first three years.
