Whether you’re in the industry or are a property owner, trying to a get a commercial mortgage loan closed in this market, is akin to having a hyena as a house pet. You can do it, but it will be painful.

Here’s what is going on, from a commercial mortgage brokers perspective. Conventional lending is all but dead. If your property isn’t less than 60% loan to value, you’re going to have a difficult time getting it closed. If you have a typical investment property (non multifamily like office or a warehouse), with a non national credit tenant(s), you had better have enough outside income to carry the loan on its own or you are going to have a tough go at it (though not impossible).

It was literally down 98% in 2008 versus 2007. 98%... That’s according the respected Mortgage Bankers Association.

The SBA and other more mysterious (and unpredictable government programs) have tried to step up and fill the void. In some regards its working in others it has been disappointing. For example SBA lending was down 60% as of May 2009 compared to the previous year. Ironically, this is when we all thought they would really kick in and save small business.
