Below I have mentioned some terms to become familiar with to help increase your knowledge and help become prepared and learn what to expect as you approach a Loan Refinance for a commercial property.
Two of the main reasons people look at Mortgage Refinance, is to help reduce monthly payments and interest, in my opinion one of the most important items to look at is how closing costs will affect the equity you have built over the years.
The initial thought process you had used before will be slightly different from the one used to prepare for a Mortgage Refinance. You had to think about the time it will take to secure a loan this size. It is possible for the amount of time specified on the contract to purchase could expire before you get funded, protection from default on such a large loan, not to mention collateral, down payment, closing costs and so on, not too unlike a mortgage on a house. Although, some of these items are the same, it can become very complicated on a loan this size for a commercial property as you get further along.
Now that you have experience, when learning the thought process behind Mortgage Refinance in the next paragraph, you will see the difference in thought from your original loan. The most prominent reasons people look at Mortgage Refinance are because of taxes, facing a ballooning loan or to help reduce monthly payments and interest. And it may also reduce the life of the loan.
It is very important to look at how closing costs will affect the equity you have been building over the years. Your situation is a little different and you will need to approach the Mortgage Refinance accordingly. You will now start looking at possible Prepayment Penalties, Cash Out Proceeds, and maybe you want to Inject the money you cash out into another property or update your current property, what is the Discounted Cash Flow, Current vs. Proposed Loan to Value Ratio.
Let's recap what terms you had to learn before, such as 1031 Tax Exchange, Environmental Reports, what type of commercial property qualifies for what type of loan, which is a lot for one to learn, the difference between Conduit and Mezzanine Loans, and so on. Most importantly, you had to find a great Broker that offers a variety of innovative loan programs for your specific need. So now, it is time to look at Mortgage Refinance.
The cost to complete a Mortgage Refinance for a commercial property can turn out to be quite high if you were under the impression it would be less than an original loan. An appraisal can run between $2,000 - $5,000, Title between $800 - $2,000, Phase One Environmental Report around $2,000 and lender processing fees around $1,000.
It is very important to look at may closing costs will affect the equity you have been building over the years. Two of the biggest reasons people look at Mortgage Refinance, are to get a lower interest rate than they currently have, this means lower monthly note payments (lower payment means extra cash in your pocket) and the second reason people refinance their mortgage is to "cash out" some of the equity they may have built over time and invest it in a new project. Remember that knowledge is power, so stay well-informed by reading and researching your topic. - 16463
