There are several types of loans available for commercial property, including:
Commercial mortgage loans: These are similar to traditional residential mortgages, but they are specifically designed for commercial properties. They are typically used to finance the purchase or refinance of income-producing properties like office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, and multifamily apartment buildings.
SBA 7(a) loans: These loans are backed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and are designed for small businesses that need to finance the purchase or refinance of commercial real estate. They offer longer repayment terms and lower down payment requirements than traditional commercial mortgages.
SBA 504 loans: These loans are also backed by the SBA and are specifically designed to help small businesses purchase commercial real estate or make improvements to existing properties. They require a higher down payment than 7(a) loans but offer longer repayment terms and fixed interest rates.
Bridge loans: These are short-term loans that can be used to finance the purchase or refinance of commercial properties while the borrower is waiting for a longer-term financing solution.
Hard money loans: These are short-term loans that are secured by the commercial property itself, rather than the borrower's creditworthiness. They are often used by real estate investors who need to close quickly or who have poor credit.
Construction loans: These loans are used to finance the construction of new commercial properties. They are typically short-term loans that are repaid once the property is complete and can be refinanced with a long-term commercial mortgage
