Many businesses nowadays require finance to achieve their business objectives. Whenever businesses do not have the necessary funds to finance a new project like construction of a new building or acquisition of property for commercial purposes, they resort to acquiring money from lending institutions. These institutions have now become extremely cautious when it comes to lending money and they will check a number of things before they approve the loan.

Commercial mortgage lenders nowadays are very careful with whom they give their money to and they perform a number of checks to make sure they will get their money back within the time period set.

Here is a list of things they look at before approving any mortgage loan:

Your Business Character: Commercial mortgage lenders will check how well you met past credit obligations. They will check if you have paid previous loans according to the terms agreed upon. How interested you are in meeting the business objectives and goals. They will also have a look at your management quality and capabilities and check to see whether your management will be able to handle the growth of the business.

The Businesses Ability to Pay the Debt: The Lender will also check to see whether your business is capable of paying the loan according to the terms and conditions given by them. They also check the debts that you owe to other people and see whether you are able to pay off those debts. The way they check this is by looking at your financial statement. Your financial statement will give them the total of your net profits. They also see if you are able to pay off the debt in an up-market.

Value of Collateral: In the event that you business defaults in payment, the lender sells the property given as collateral. For this reason the lender checks the value of the collateral you are offering for the mortgage. The value is checked at the time of loan approval, during the period of the loan and also at the end of the term.

Current Conditions: The Commercial Mortgage Lenders will examine the current economic conditions in order determine the viability of the credit. Economic conditions can affect companies depending on the sector they are in. This is why the commercial mortgage lender will have to foresee the conditions of your business according to the future economic conditions.

Because of all these checks it is quite hard to get a commercial mortgage for business purposes. But if you already have made a plan yourself, and complete all these checks yourself and find your business project viable, you will have no problem in getting a loan for your business projects.

hey all,

i’m a 21 year old college student majoring in music (production/recording). i just purchased my 1st home cash/outright.
i lost my mom in 2001 when i was 13 and used the modest life insurance policy she left for me to purchase the home. after losing my mom i moved in with my grandmother and lost her in 2004 after a year long battle with cancer. she left me a 1400/mo inheritance which i have been using for my education and related expenses. this $ is from her interest in a family business and will continue uninterrupted until her siblings sell the 2 commercial buildings they own and rent out. unfortunately i am a silent partner with no voting power and/or the ability to borrow and/or cash out of my interest in the co.

i have 100% equity in this property and its TAX ACCESSED value is 200k. just before i purchased the property i bought (cash/outright) 50k of landscape equipment and will be self employed/full time in the spring of 09. my education is almost complete…1 more semester and will continue on a part time basis. at this moment i have 10 weekly customers (800/wk or 3200/mo) and am looking to increase that # to 20-25 by spring. my property will also generate income…it consists of a 4br house, 2 br cottage, 2 car garage and is zoned “village commercial”. with this zoning, there is an option to rent part or all of the property to certain types of business… pottery shop, general store, real estate office, bar/restaurant, etc. i have a couple ready to sign a contract for the cottage (1200/mo) and 2 roommates to share the house with me (600ea/mo). i also have the option to rent out a small commercial suite on the 1st floor of the house (1000/mo). my long term plan is to use this (comm) space for my professional recording studios… not ready ($).

although i do not “technically” have a declared income (yet), can i get a 100k loan using my property as collateral? moreover, can i use the rental, inheritance and landscape as income NOW, or how long do i have to wait to “technically” be considered a landlord and/or small business owner? i know i can handle this loan without any problem just with what i make right now. sad thing is… had i closed just a few months prior, it would have been “rubber stamped” by any bank and/or mortgage co. the way i found the property right up to the closing was done unconventionally… i am UNAFRAID to think and/or act out “outside of the box”. any information and/or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. hope all is well. have a good one.

A home mortgage loan is one of the most common and popular ways through which people buy property. Most properties in the Unites States are bought with the help of a loan and the industry is in itself worth billions of dollars. However, there are several steps before one can actually be approved for a home mortgage loan. But let’s start from understanding the concept it self.

Home mortgage loan

The concept of a home mortgage loan itself is generally quite simple. The property in question remains as the mortgage or the collateral, for the loan being issued. This is usually issued by a financial institute to the person who is buying the property. The original amount of loan remains the principal sum with an annual interest rate imposed on this sum. Should the new property owner be unable to pay the loan, the lending institute seizes the property which then will be foreclosed. Home mortgage loan are usually paid in instalments every month.

Key elements

If you are planning to buy a home or any property through a home mortgage loan, it is advised you work on your credit score long before you actually plan to make the big move. Your credit history is like a research paper on your personal finances and to any lender it speaks volumes about how well you manage your finances and how good you are at clearing your dues. It is usually very difficult to get approved for a home mortgage loan if you have a bad and sometimes even average, credit score. Also consider the fact that things could be somewhat easier if you are able to make a down payment on your property. Larger the payment, better it is.

Financial realization

Before you even begin to apply for a home mortgage loan, you must do some work on your own to get an idea of what your chances are in being approved that loan. Naturally, the first and most important element of the process is realizing your personal or household’s finances. Calculate how much money you are left with every month after you deduct all the fundamental expenses. This is important because it gives you an understanding of how much money you are left with at the end of month which in turn determines how much mortgage you can pay monthly. Don’t forget to anticipate the interest rates.

Documentation to secure a home mortgage loan

When you think you’re ready to go for it, make a check list of documents you will need for your home mortgage loan application process. If you are employed, you will need your W-2 form and pay stubs and if you are self employed then you would generally need to show your tax statements of about two years. Private business owners need to show a balance sheet depicting the revenue and loss you have incurred. Retirees need to have either a two- month long bank statement or the 1099 form. The social security award letter along with copies of all documents related to your pension checks is required too. Then of course there are other basic documents you will need pertaining to your bank and credit card accounts, existing loans and also on the present landlord and investments if applicable. These are the basic documentation required to be eligible for most home mortgage loan.
