Commercial Loan Refinance
When is the best time to refinance a commercial loan? Factors such as prepayment penalties, goals of the borrower, market rates, and existing loan terms come in play. Of course there’s no exact formula, but below are some thoughts on how you might analyze your commercial loan refinance.
The Discounted Cash Flow method is the traditional system used, which essentially compares the existing loan vs. the proposed loan on a Net Present Value basis. However we have found that most commercial property owners are really interested in:
1. How the refinance will affect their monthly cash flow?
2. What the closing costs will be?
3. How much of the closing costs will have to come out pockets?
4. (If increase in cash flow) How many months will it take for the savings to “pay back” the owners closing costs?
5. What the principal pay down (amortization schedule) will be, compared to existing loan.
Cash Flow
Most borrowers are obviously interested in improving their cash flow situation when refinancing. There’s essentially only 2 ways to do this – reduction of interest rate and or increasing the length of the loans amortization schedule. That’s it. Reducing the interest rates is obvious however most borrowers are surprised to learn that by spreading out a loan from say 20 years to 30 years normally reduces the borrower’s payment by approximately 20%.
Borrowers that are facing a ballooning loan may find out, however that their situation will not improve. Their monthly payment may go up as markets rates change, loan programs change etc. It is often the case as well that the borrowers books are not as strong as there where when they secured their existing loan and they will not be offered the same program/rates that they previously qualified for.
Closing Costs
Borrowers are always very concerned about closing costs, and for good reason. For example with appraisals ranging from $2,000 - $5,000, environmental reports from $1,800, processing at around $1,000, title from $1,000 - $2,000, and the bank 1% fee, it makes a lot of sense for borrowers to be concerned. On a refinance, the borrower can normally roll most of these’s costs into the loan amount. In terms of out of pocket costs, the borrower should be prepared to pay the appraisal, and environmental report fees upfront. In addition, sometimes the funding bank will require the processing fee paid upfront as well.
Pay Back
Assuming there is a reduction in monthly payments, borrowers like to do a cash flow analysis to see how long it will take for the savings to pay back their closing costs. For example, if the new loan monthly payment is $2,000 lower and the total closing costs are $10,000 it will take 5 months for the borrower to “break even”.
Principal Pay Down
Principal pay down is obviously another important component of any commercial loan. However, for most owners, especially those with highly leveraged properties, cash flow is more pressing. High debt payments versus net cash after the expenses have been paid make it difficult for the borrower to look at this in any other way.

Below is some real world advice on SBA business financing in this market. Specifically, advice on getting your loan closed.
For small business owners that are interested in purchasing a new property or are attempting to refinance their existing mortgage with an SBA loan, there are a few things you should consider to help expedite the process.
Perhaps you’re facing a ballooning loan, found an excellent property to purchase, or need refinance your existing loan in hopes of reducing your payment. Whatever your goals are, most people at the beginning of the loan process want to know “is this really going to get done? Am I wasting my time even contemplating this?”
SBA mortgage financing, i.e. an SBA loan that is tied to commercial real estate, is by far the most viable type of small business financing that is available today. The reason is of course, that the bank has a hard asset as collateral.
How does SBA financing work? First of all, it is very similar to regular commercial bank financing. In fact, one of the biggest misperceptions out there is that the SBA finances transactions themselves. This is not the case. Loans are financed by banks and the SBA guarantees the bank in case the borrower defaults.
How do you apply for an SBA loan? It’s recommended that you do a phone interview first, than assuming you think there is a fit, provide the required information to the SBA bank or lender.
The SBA loan application process is often intense and requires the borrower to be thorough and complete with what is required from them by the funding SBA bank. One of the most important points for prospective applicants is to accept this and be ready mentally to provide the requested items.
SBA mortgages have become very popular in the last 12 months due to the general economy, the banking crisis that has all but eliminated conventional commercial loans and because of the Stimulus Package the was rolled out in March of 2008.
