Before making an investment, it's important to evaluate key factors that affect the value and profitability of a commercial property. Our evaluation process includes:

1. Location & Market Demand:
   The property’s location is critical to its success. We assess the demand for commercial space in the area, including proximity to key amenities, transportation routes, and the overall economic environment.
2. Property Condition & Age:
   We evaluate the physical state of the property, including the structure, systems, and facilities. The age and maintenance history can impact the cost of repairs and potential for future capital improvements.
3. Tenant Stability & Lease Terms:
   We review tenant history and the terms of current leases. Long-term, stable tenants with favorable lease agreements can indicate a low-risk investment.
4. Cash Flow Potential:
   Assessing current and projected rental income is essential for determining whether the property will meet your financial goals. We calculate operating expenses and net operating income (NOI) to estimate the potential for profit.
5. Zoning & Legal Considerations:
   A thorough review of zoning regulations, property use restrictions, and any legal issues is essential to understanding the property's potential for growth or redevelopment.

If you're looking to finance a commercial property, understanding the typical loan terms is critical. Here are some key aspects to consider when securing a loan for a commercial property:

1. Loan Type:
   Commercial loans come in various types, including traditional mortgages, SBA loans, and bridge loans. Each type has different requirements and benefits, depending on the property and your investment strategy.
2. Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio:
   The LTV ratio determines how much of the property’s value the lender is willing to finance. For most commercial properties, the LTV ratio typically ranges from 65% to 80%, depending on factors such as the borrower’s creditworthiness and the property’s stability.
3. Interest Rates:
   Interest rates on commercial loans can vary significantly based on factors such as the loan term, type of property, and borrower credit history. Rates generally range from 4% to 8%, but can fluctuate.
4. Repayment Terms:
   Commercial loan repayment terms can be anywhere from 5 to 25 years. Shorter terms often come with higher monthly payments but allow for quicker equity buildup. Longer terms offer smaller payments but may result in higher interest payments over time.
5. Down Payment:
   Most commercial property loans require a down payment ranging from 20% to 30% of the property’s purchase price. The exact amount depends on the lender and property type.
6. Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR):
   Lenders use the Debt Coverage Ratio to assess the property’s ability to generate enough income to cover loan payments. A typical DCR requirement for commercial loans is 1.25 or higher.
