Your projected profitablity and cash flow are two key factors lenders consider when making term loans.

Washington lenders make long term loans secured by commercial and industrial real estate. The loan is usually made up to 75% of the value of the real estate to be financed. Repayment terms range from 10 to 20 years. Washington l enders also make second mortgages on real estate. The amount of the second mortgage is based on the appraised market value and the amount of the first mortgage.
WashingtonLeasing
Can be accomplished through a bank, leasing or finance company. Your business will be subject to the same type of review as when seeking a loan, specifically cash flow of company, value of lease object and useful life. Lease terms range from 3 to 5 years. At the end of the lease, there are generally 3 options: purchase, renew and return.
Washington 3-15 YR Balloon loans
Balloon loans offer interest rates that are fixed for a period of years. Typically these loans are pegged to a treasury index. Terms are for 3, 5,7,10 or 15 years. The amortization schedules are generally for 20 or 25 years.
When a balloon loan matures at the end of the agreed term, the remaining principle balance outstanding is due at that time. The borrower can pay off the loan by either selling the property or refinancing. Investment property is typically owned for a previously defined period of time. Analyze your investment strategy before securing a balloon. Having to redo a loan is expensive.
Washington Adjustable rate loans
An Adjustable rate loan will typically fully amortize with no balloon features. These loans may or may not have adjustment caps. The rate is determined by an index plus a margin. The indices used are generally U.S. treasury bond rates. Rates are adjusted at a certain point in time using either the current rate of the index in question or the average of the index for the prior year. In either event, the index used will correspond to the adjustment term. If the loan is a three year adjustable, then the index used should be the three year treasury index.
Some adjustable rate loans are fixed for an initial period of years and then will adjust after that period. For example a 5/1 adjustable is fixed for the first five years and there after will adjust each year. The index used will be the one year treasury rate.
Please note that commercial lending is not standardized as it relates to programs and to guidelines. Banks must meet certain federal standards, but the index, margin, amortization, term and fees are components that are controlled by the investor based on their risk profit analysis. Remember that this mortgage will be the greatest expense your investment property will be responsible for.
As such we recommend that you consult your real estate agent and your loan officer to assist in providing you with all the information needed to make a complete and accurate choice.
