Getting a commercial loan is definitely not a walk in the park. But, there are a couple almost surefire ways to get your commercial loans in record time.

When you are serious about your commercial real estate, pun intended, you mean business. Nevertheless, you may be asking yourself, what is the best way to ensure that you actually get a commercial loan or non-residential mortgage? Well, the answer to that question is, there are a couple of ways to ensure your receive your commercial loan, regardless of your situation.

The first way to always secure the commercial financing you need is to use what is referred to as private money. Private money, not to be confused with hard money, is essentially when you have the money yourself or you reach out to a private source i.e. a non-bank, an investor—you get the picture. The reason that private loans or private money is a sound way to obtain a non-residential mortgage is because a. you may have a lot in savings already or b. you might have just met your match with a particular real estate investor. The point is if you are creative enough you can obtain your commercial funding yourself or work with someone who is in the business of seeing a nice return on their investment, either way there’s less red tape which means there’s more of a guarantee, sort to speak.

Another ways to obtain the funding of your dreams is to use seller financing. If you have no idea what seller financing is that’s okay. Lets’ go over it. Seller financing is just that i.e. it is when the seller essentially lenders you the money to make the purchase. Thus, you are still obtaining a commercial loan with interest and a repayment schedule, the source is just the seller.

Avoid the Pitfalls

Clearly, commercial seller financing is not always a win-win situation. In other words, there are some pitfalls you need to avoid such as super high interest and the seller may be wary due to their own set of possible pitfalls such foreclosures, paying off the existing mortgage or issues of abandonment (buyer abandonment). Thus, it is everyone’s interest to take the necessary precautions (references, full financial picture of buyer and seller, etc.) to ensure that it can be a win-win solution that ends in you securing your non-residential mortgage (and only one at that). Similarly, when it comes to private money, it always pays to take the necessary precautions. Remember, you want your non-residential mortgage like yesterday, but that doesn’t mean skipping your due diligence.

Things to Consider when Choosing to Leverage a Business Linde of Credit

Lastly, if you aren’t too crazy about private money or seller financing, you still have one surefire way left—leverage. Leveraging a business line of credit is the most user-friendly way to secure a non-residential mortgage. This means you can establish creditability and get your funding. Thus, with that being said, you now know what to do as well as what not to do when you want your commercial funding and you want it now!
