Construction Loans Can Be Challenging To Manage

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

It can be one thing to locate and secure the financing for your construction project and yet still another to manage the many challenges associated with construction loans.

Getting the mortgage approved and in place is the easy part. The main challenges are associated with getting funds advanced on a timely basis so that the project does not get slowed down in any way or incur additional costs due to delays.

The lender will have expectations for each draw, and its critical that the work completed for a draw inspection is in accordance with what the inspector expects to see, otherwise there will likely be downward adjustments in the draw amount that can leave you scrambling to find an additional source of money to cover the outstanding costs.

Using A Mortgage Broker For Financing Commercial And Industrial Properties

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

When you’re looking for property related financing for residential homes, virtually any mortgage broker will do the job of you.

But when you get into commercial and industrial properties, the level of complexity for business financing goes way up and only more experienced mortgage brokers with relevant experience should be considered for property acquisitions, refinancing, debt consolidation, amalgations, and construction project financing.

Why?

Because these types of deals are easy to screw up by an inexperienced mortgage agent that perhaps only dabbles with these types of mortgage opportunities on occasion because they tend to be bigger dollars and will generate a larger commission.

Brokers that specialize in different aspects of business property financing would be preferred as they maintain relationships with relevant lends, understand the ins and outs of the application process, and have seen enough deals go bad to be on top of the details all the way through.

Commercial and industrial deals will have significantly more terms and conditions compared with residential deals, so the added experience of someone who has worked through several scenarios in the past is definitely an added benefit.

Niche focused mortgage reps will also be aware of lending sources including private money lenders that you would not likely be able to locate otherwise on your own.
