Commercial real estate

Financing secured by the property.

PSG sends commercial real estate requests to participating lenders active in each property type. That covers SBA 504 on the building your company occupies, and conventional, bridge and construction loans on investment property. The application asks about the property and the people who own it.

  • Multifamily, retail, mixed-use, office, industrial and 2–4 family property
  • Purchases, refinances, cash-out, construction and bridge loans
  • For owners and investors with a property identified

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.

Use the address of the property being financed, which may differ from the entity's registered office.

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.

    Your commercial real estate application has gone to participating lenders. Your secure portal is next: the rest of the application continues there, and lender responses arrive there as they come in.
