The CLC Comparison
At Commercial Lending Capital, we take a unique approach to underwriting that benefits you, the customer. With our residential style of underwriting, we
are able to focus on your ability to repay the loan, not necessarily on the cash flow of your commercial property.
You will enjoy many additional benefits at Commercial Lending Capital that are not available with other Commercial lenders.

With loan terms ranging from 15 to 30 years, Commercial Lending Capital allows you to better manage your business cash-flow. Longer loan terms allow you
to lower your monthly payment and control the speed at which you build equity.
While most lenders will only fund up to 75% or 80% of the value of your property, Commercial Lending Capital allows qualified applicants to borrow up to
90% on certain property types.
What does this mean to you? Whether you are buying a commercial property or looking to tap into the equity of a property you already own, our
program allows you to maximize your cash-on-hand.
Banks have cumbersome approval committees that require mountains of documentation and weeks or months to review and decide your loan request.
Simply provide your Commercial Loan Specialist with all your loan requirements, and we'll notify you within 24 hours if you are approved.
Our flexible cash-out refinancing allows you to use the cash for anything. You can use it to purchase new equipment,
perform property improvements, invest in additional real estate, or to enhance your business where you need it most.
Property Appraisals are often one of the most expensive components of the commercial mortgage process. As an experienced nationwide lender, we
have an extensive network of qualified property appraisers. Through a national bid processing system, we obtain quotes from many appraisers in
the area of your property and help choose the best fit for your loan request, based on quality, price and turnaround time. Commercial Lending Capital
does not charge additional fees for the appraiser and we turn the discount over to you, the customer.
Most commercial lenders will require you to obtain a Phase 1 Environmental Review of your property, which can cost time and thousands of dollars.
Our solution varies from database searches to Phase 1 reports depending on the loan program chosen.
Additionally, many commercial lenders will require you to purchase a property survey which can cost thousands of dollars and delay your loan
closing. In almost all cases, we do not require you to purchase a new survey to close the loan.
Most lenders have "balloon" features in their loans, which require a customer to pay off their mortgage in just a few years. A balloon will force
you to spend thousands of dollars in closing costs and go through the entire loan process again.
Commercial Lending Capital loans do not have a balloon requirement. This allows you to stay in your loan throughout the term of the mortgage if you
choose.
Commercial Lending Capital specializes in loans to real estate investors and small business owners. Many other lenders will not loan to individuals whose
business does not operate in the subject property.
At Commercial Lending Capital, we understand that deposit requirements can tie up funds and be a hindrance if you need future access to that cash. Banks
may require you to hold a minimum level of deposits with the bank in order to qualify for the loan. Since we're not a bank, you need not worry.
Our flexible commercial lending programs leave your available cash where you need it: available.
Thinking of selling your property down the road? Commercial Lending Capital assumable loan benefit allows you to transfer your mortgage loan to a
qualified buyer at no cost to you. This will help enhance the marketability of your property to potential buyers, accelerate your closing time
frame, and even save your buyer money, translating into higher sales proceeds for you.
Commercial Lending Capital does everything possible to reduce the amount of documentation required to underwrite your loan. We only require a minimal
amount of documentation for our underwriting, typically very similar to what is required for the residential lending process.
At Commercial Lending Capital, we do not require either ongoing financial reporting or covenants.
At most lending institutions, you are required to provide ongoing financial and operating statements on your business or property long after your
loan has closed. These other lenders may also require you to make "covenants," which are legal obligations concerning the future financial strength
of your business. That means that losing a tenant or experiencing a difficult business period gives those lenders the right to find you in default
of your loan, even if you are current on your payments!
At Commercial Lending Capital, once your loan has closed, simply make your monthly payments and we'll never ask you for more financial information.
Commercial Lending Capital does not charge any fees until your loan closes.
Other lenders charge as much as $1500 for this "junk fee" just to look at your application. In some cases the application fee is non-refundable.
A nominal processing fee is charged at closing depending upon the loan program chosen.
Some programs require that you live in the state in which your property is located. Depending on the program, residency restrictions may apply.
