That’s right; our new SBA 504 Program will allow these tougher deals to get done with very little money down.  The SBA 504 program is a government-based lending program that allows businesses to purchase Real Estate for their own business use with as little as 10% down.  The doctor buying a building to house his practice, the restaurant owner seeking to buy a second location for his concept, and other such examples are the types of transactions you see on this program.   On these transactions, the lender loans 50% of the purchase price, the SBA brings a second for 40% and the client comes in with 10%.
 
Getting the second mortgage approved from the SBA is the easy part.  The hard part is getting the approval from the lender for the first mortgage.  They still underwrite very conservatively even though they are at 50% LTV.  So hotels, start-ups and other type deals still have trouble getting funding.  BUT NO MORE!  We have negotiated an agreement with a consortium of banks to APPROVE ANY FIRST MORTGAGE AS LONG AS THE SBA SECOND MORTGAGE HAS BEEN APPROVED.
 
That’s right, we will take the SBA’s second mortgage approval and underwrite and approve the first on the same terms – no questions asked.  This is HUGE.
 
This opens the door for those transactions that have floundered in the pipeline.  Hotels, gas stations, restaurants, day cares and more can all be done on this new program. If the SBA has approved the second, we will approve the first.  It does not get much easier than that.  For more information, or  if you know of anyone struggling to get financing,  just give me a call today at 512-650-8630 and I will gladly assist you in getting it done.  I can screen a deal quickly and will always shoot straight.  I look forward to helping you or your clients get the financing they need in these difficult lending times.
