It can also potentially offer better interest rates. However, lenders may charge higher rates due to the increased risk of backing multiple properties. Borrowers also have more at stake, as the loan is tied to all of their properties. If one property experiences financial difficulties, it can impact the entire loan. It's important to carefully consider the pros and cons before opting for a blanket loan.

2024-11-1311 minWonton Wealth: Insights into Commercial Real Estate Investing & BeyondAll Banks Are NOT Created Equal!Not all banks are created equal. There are different types of banks, including community banks, regional banks, credit unions, and national banks. Community banks prioritize building strong relationships with their customers and understanding the unique needs of the community. They offer attractive rates and terms for rehab projects. Regional banks have a broader presence and offer lower interest rates and larger loan amounts. Credit unions operate on a not-for-profit basis and focus on serving their members. National banks operate on a larger scale and offer a wide range of financial services, but can be bureaucratic.
2024-11-0607 minWonton Wealth: Insights into Commercial Real Estate Investing & BeyondWho's On The Hook For The Loan?This conversation discusses who is typically on the hook for loans in the commercial real estate realm. The guarantor is usually the person responsible for the loan, either the individual or the LLC that owns the property. However, if the bank doesn't like the financials or creditworthiness of the borrower, they may require someone else to be the guarantor. It is important for the guarantor to understand the loan terms, including interest rates, repayment schedule, and penalties for late payments. The guarantor's financial capacity to repay the loan is also crucial. Maintaining relationships and communication with the bank or...
2024-10-3009 minWonton Wealth: Insights into Commercial Real Estate Investing & Beyond3 More Bank Terms You Should Know!In this conversation, three more important bank terms are discussed: recourse and non-recourse loans, rate lock deposits, and forbearance. Recourse loans allow lenders to come after borrowers personally if they default, while non-recourse loans protect borrowers from personal liability. Rate lock deposits are used to secure a specific interest rate for a loan, protecting borrowers from rate increases. Forbearance is an agreement between borrowers and lenders to temporarily reduce or suspend mortgage payments. It provides temporary relief but does not eliminate the need to repay the missed payments.

The LTV is a ratio that determines how much a lender can safely lend based on the property value. The DSCR measures a property's ability to generate enough income to cover mortgage obligations. Amortization is the process of dividing a loan into fixed payments over time. Understanding these terms is crucial for investors to have informed conversations with lenders and make sound investment decisions.

2024-10-1607 minWonton Wealth: Insights into Commercial Real Estate Investing & BeyondWhat Is Defeasance?Defeasance is the process of releasing a property from a mortgage lien before the loan term is up. Instead of paying off the loan with a lump sum of money, the borrower replaces the collateral backing the loan with other securities, usually government bonds. These bonds generate enough income to cover the remaining loan payments. However, there is a defeasance prepayment penalty, which compensates the lender for the loss of expected interest income. The penalty is calculated based on factors such as the current interest rate environment and the remaining balance of the loan.

2024-10-0907 minWonton Wealth: Insights into Commercial Real Estate Investing & BeyondWhat Are Prepayment Penalties?Understanding prepayment penalties in commercial real estate loans is crucial. Lenders implement prepayment penalties to ensure they make money on the loan. The penalty is calculated by multiplying the remaining loan balance by a predetermined percentage. Negotiating the prepayment penalty is possible, and it's important to aim for no penalty or a reduced penalty. Refinancing with the same bank may waive the prepayment penalty. Another option is a declining prepayment penalty, where the penalty decreases each year. Lockout prepayment penalties prevent borrowers from paying off the loan early.
Takeaways

There are different types of mortgages, including fixed-rate mortgages, adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), and interest-only mortgages. In the residential space, mortgages typically have longer terms, while in the commercial realm, the terms are usually shorter. It's important to be mindful of the terms and potential changes in interest rates when taking out a mortgage.
