SBA 504 & conventional commercial real estate

Financing secured by the property.

King Capital places commercial real estate files with lenders active in the asset class — conventional debt secured by investment property, SBA 504 on an owner-occupied building. The application describes the asset and the sponsor behind it. It continues in the secure application once the file is open.

The asset

These are the numbers the loan is sized on.

How is the property occupied?

Investment property is financed conventionally, secured by the asset.

Give the address of the property being financed, not the registered office of the entity.

Net operating income after operating expenses, before debt service. The loan is sized off this number.

The borrowing entity

Most sponsors hold each property in its own entity. If it will be formed for this transaction, leave these blank.

Enter 0 if the entity will be formed for this transaction.

Loan amount requested Price or value, less your equity

The sponsor

The guarantor is underwritten alongside the asset. This is your half. We already have your name and how to reach you.

Your capacity

Cash and marketable securities, before the down payment.

SBA 504 eligibility

These two questions decide whether the SBA 504 program is open on an owner-occupied building.

U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident?
Will your business occupy at least 51% of the building?

SBA 504 requires the owner to occupy 51% of an existing building.

Ownership
Will anyone else own 20% or more of the entity?

Anyone at 20% or more personally guarantees the loan.

The property’s operating history

The asset is underwritten on what it earns. The trailing twelve and the rent roll are the two documents every file starts with.

Attach what you have. Nothing here holds up the review. The rest can go up later in your secure application.

Supporting documents

A personal financial statement, the schedule of real estate owned, leases, an appraisal, environmental reports, plans and specs for construction, and anything else already in hand. No limit on how many.

    PDF, JPG, PNG, Excel or Word, up to 100 MB per file. Title, survey and the environmental report come later in the secure application.

    Review and submit

    Check the numbers on the asset. You can go back and change anything.

    Your application is in.

    Next you'll finish in the secure application, where identity and credit verification happen.

    Placed with lenders who know the asset class.

    King Capital takes the property and its operating numbers to lenders active in commercial real estate — bank and agency debt on investment property, SBA 504 where the owner occupies the building.

    Every asset class in the market

    Multifamily, retail, mixed-use, shopping centers, office, industrial, warehouses, underlying co-ops, fractured condos and 2–4 family investment property.

    A shorter path to closing

    The file goes out complete, so the first question back is about terms rather than about a missing document.

    One file, several lenders

    The same package is read by every lender on the file, which is what makes the terms that come back comparable.

    From application to funding.

    King Capital stays on the file through the lifecycle of the loan, and the portal shows where it stands at each stage.

      Apply

      The request is measured against the asset’s net operating income, its occupancy and the market.

    3. 3

      Documents

      The trailing twelve, the rent roll and the entity returns go up once, into one repository.

    4. 4

      Term sheet

      Rate, term, amortization and leverage come back in the portal for review.

    5. 5

    The 504 debenture reaches $5mm, over a 25-year term, with a down payment of at least 10%.

    More than one lender when the deal is larger

    A larger request is split across lenders rather than trimmed to fit one balance sheet.
