What Are Today's Commercial Loan Rates?
Keep in mind that all commercial loan quotes depend on several underwriting factors including the property and borrower location, loan-to-value (LTV), debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), property usage (investment or owner-occupied), property type, and the borrower’s financial strength. The interest rates below should be considered indicative for properties in primary markets with good LTVs and DSCRs, as well as a strong and experienced sponsor. However, because we offer so many loan programs, actual interest rates may be higher or lower than what is listed below.

Hard Money
Hard Money Loans are offered by private investment institutions for the financing of properties that are not “bankable” due to borrower credit issues, property issues, or other reasons.

What Types of Properties Qualify for a Commercial Loan?
In order to qualify for a commercial loan, a property must be zoned appropriately for either business/commercial or multifamily use. This would include the following types of buildings:
- Office
- Retail
- Apartments (5+ units)
- Industrial/Warehouse
- Mixed Use (a combination of any of the above properties)
- Self Storage
- Hospitality (Hotel/Motel)
- Specialty Use (including car washes, churches, auto repair, hospitals, or any other property that can only be used for a specific type of business or function).
What is the Difference Between Residential and Commercial Interest Rates?
Residential properties (i.e. single-family dwellings with 4 units or less) usually have much lower interest rates available than commercial properties. Additionally, the term and amortization typically match on a residential loan (i.e. 30/30), whereas the term of a commercial loan is usually shorter than the amortization (i.e. 7/25), causing the borrower to have to refinance or payoff the loan (or sell the property) at or before the end of the loan term.
How Are Interest Rates Calculated?
Commercial interest rates may be calculated a variety of ways depending on the lender’s internal cost of funds. However, the most common way a lender calculates an interest rate is by taking a an index (i.e. LIBOR, treasury, swaps, FHLB, etc.) and adding a “spread” to that index, which is what the lender is making off of the loan. For instance, if the lender is pricing at LIBOR (currently at 0.000 + 2.00%), your interest rate would be 2%.
