Commercial Real Estate Loans
If you have never applied for a commercial mortgage before, you may be under the assumption that this is not too different from a residential mortgage. This is not so at all.
Unlike a lot of residential mortgages, commercial mortgages are not backed by a loan guarantor. This makes commercial business loans riskier for the lending institution. Therefore, lenders have no real choice but to be more conservative in their commercial lending practices which means they charge higher interest rates, more often want a larger down payment, and want more information about the business.
