Loan Types Available

A.     Permanent Mortgages (Bridge or Long Term):
        Basically two types of fixed rate permanent financing are currently available:

1.

Immediate funding - most prevalent today. Virtually no real estate or market rate risk, can see it, touch it, feel it. Property is substantially completed, substantially leased. Loan to close within 6 months. Refinancing, renovations, acquisitions, joint ventures and similar fall into this category.
  

2.

 

Future take outs - Available for "To be built or major renovation situation". Typically must close within 12 months of commitment (sometimes 15 - 18 months). Difficult, as there are many additional risks for lenders, including interest rate movement, makes lenders use the crystal ball approach, therefore a slightly higher rate. Property must be substantially pre-leased to good concern(s). Commitments are "bankable" with construction lenders. Tri-Party agreements available.

B.     Construction loans:
        Basically three types of fixed rate or floating rate construction financing are currently available:

1.

With a permanent "take out" commitment, construction lender has only risk of completion and/or bankruptcy of borrower or tenant until completion.
  

2.

Without a permanent take out commitment, lender takes all risks including lease up. Some "spec" loans available. Most require strong personal or corporate guarantees. "Mini-perm" sometimes available.

3.

Combination Construction - Permanent - combines a 12-18 month construction loan with an optional 5 or 10-year (or longer term) permanent "roll over" upon completion and occupancy. Many are "fixed rate" from inspetion.
