What Is Commercial Construction?

Commercial construction loans are specialized financing options designed to fund the development of commercial properties. Unlike residential mortgages, these loans often involve more complex underwriting and require a thorough understanding of the project's feasibility and potential risks. Key factors considered include the borrower's experience, the project's business plan, and the market demand for the completed property.

Qualifying for Commercial Construction

  • Underwritten on property income (DSCR) and borrower financial strength.
  • Typical DSCR requirement: 1.20x-1.25x (NOI / debt service).
  • 2+ years business experience, adequate liquidity, acceptable credit.
  • CMRE commercial bank statement programs: qualify with 12-24 months statements instead of tax returns.
  • SBA programs (7(a), 504, Express) available for owner-occupied commercial with as low as 10% down.

Commercial Construction vs. Residential Lending

  • Commercial: underwritten on property cash flow. Residential: on borrower income.
