Commercial Mortgage and Business Loan Lender Problems

  
     
  By: Stephen Bush  
 

Commercial mortgage borrowers should be prepared to avoid certain problematic commercial lenders unless alternative business loan options are impossible. One of the most serious commercial loan situations is a commercial lender that causes problems for their commercial borrowers on a repeating basis.

The conclusions in this article are based on a regular pattern of lending abuses observed by advising businesses for an extended period of time. I have encountered numerous business loan situations which have involved commercial lenders that I would not recommend as a result. Based on these experiences and daily conversations with other commercial loan professionals, I strongly believe that there are quite a few business lenders to avoid.

This article will not name specific lenders to avoid, but specific examples will be provided to show why informed commercial borrowers should be ready to avoid a variety of business lenders in their search for viable commercial loan solutions. This business financing strategy article will illustrate the significant benefits of avoiding "problem lenders".

Ineffective Pre-approvals for Business Financing

An early commercial mortgage pre-approval is often sought by commercial borrowers. The expected advantage to this initial commercial loan approval is that the business borrower can make other business arrangements which are based on the business financing being completed.

Any form of commercial mortgage approval will be treated as a binding action by ethical lenders. Commercial borrowers should expect that a valid approval will not be regularly issued in a day or so.

Since this approach to pre-approvals frequently produces surprises for the commercial loan borrower, borrowers must be extremely wary of any commercial lenders that use this approach. There are several business lenders who provide this shortened and misleading version of a pre-approval within a few days of receiving initial applications.

Why should a lender use a questionable commercial loan pre-approval? Here are two primary possibilities. (1) To encourage the borrower to end their consideration of other commercial lenders. (2) To use a business financing pre-approval that is like a residential mortgage structure.

Because many commercial loan situations are facilitated by residential mortgage brokers who are typically unfamiliar with normal business financing requirements, this reason will be especially relevant with business lenders that primarily work with residential mortgage brokerage firms. Such a lender should be avoided for most commercial mortgage circumstances.

Yes or No for a Commercial Mortgage Business Loan?

I published an earlier article which reported the questionable technique of many local and regional banks to say "yes" when they mean "no". When this happens, a bank will attach non-competitive commercial mortgage terms to business loans instead of refusing the loan. Business borrowers should explore other business financing options instead of accepting such unacceptable commercial loan terms.

Commercial Mortgage Business Loan Options: Think Outside the Bank

In some non-competitive business markets, it is unfortunately common for a lender to employ business loan terms that would typically not be seen in a more competitive commercial loan environment. Such business lenders can repeatedly take advantage of a non-competitive commercial lending imbalance.

An appropriate response by commercial borrowers is to seek out non-bank commercial loan options. It is neither necessary nor wise for commercial borrowers to depend only upon local traditional banks for commercial mortgage solutions. For most business loan situations, a non-local and non-bank commercial lender is likely to provide improved business financing terms because they are accustomed to competing aggressively with other commercial lenders.

Commercial Appraisal Process and Business Financing Problems

For commercial mortgage loans, commercial appraisals are an unavoidable part of the commercial loan underwriting process. The commercial appraisal process is lengthy and expensive, so avoiding commercial lenders which have displayed a pattern of problems and abuses in this area will benefit the commercial borrower by saving them both time and money.
