Our Reviews
The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Markets Committee cut the federal funds rate by 50 basis points at its September 18, 2024, meeting. This was the first rate cut since March 2020, when the Fed began a long series of rate hikes to curb the high rate of inflation. The Fed’s decision shows that they believe that inflation is under control and moving into the 2% range that the Fed has set as its goal. The Federal Reserve took this decisive action to prevent further declines in the labor market. The Fed has further hinted at further cuts at its two remaining meetings in 2024, followed by additional cuts in 2025. This rate cut, along with possible future rate cuts, may create positive investor demand for commercial real estate, and may provide aid for commercial mortgage customers, as well as consumers in general. We must caution, however, that the Federal Reserve cuts affect short term interest rates directly and long-term rates only indirectly. The Prime Rate, which is a short-term rate, dropped from 8.50% to 8.00% with the Fed’s recent action. However, most commercial mortgage rates are based on the 5-, 7-, or 10-year treasury rates, and not the Prime Rate. We have seen these treasury rates actually rise since the Fed took its action. On September 18th, the 10-year treasury was roughly 3.70%. Three weeks later, this rate had jumped to 4.03%. Investors are still concerned about future inflation and are adopting a wait and see attitude.
Some commercial mortgage lenders lock rates at application, some lenders lock rates at commitment, while others lock rates prior to closing. We are currently in the midst of an increasing rate environment. Rates quoted at application may increase dramatically during the loan application progress, if not locked. It is very important to understand your lender’s procedure upfront to avoid potential confusion.
In order for a commercial mortgage lender to issue a firm loan approval, they will want to understand the financial condition of the borrower, as well as the fundamentals of the property. The borrower will be expected to supply his personal financial statement showing total net worth and liquidity. He will also need to provide a schedule of real estate owned demonstrating experience managing similar properties. Lastly, the borrower’s credit scores will needed. For the subject property, lenders will look closely at the current rent roll, operating statements showing income and expenses, copies of all leases, and other pertinent property information.
Commercial mortgage rates are determined by many different factors, including property type, location of the property, loan-to-value ratio, debt service coverage ratio, debt yield, borrower’s net worth, liquidity, credit rating and level of experience. Commercial mortgage lenders look at all of these factors to determine the riskiness of the loan before setting rates. Loans with the lowest risk profile will get the best commercial mortgage rates. As the potential risk increases, commercial mortgage rates usually increase.
Commercial mortgage loans are viewed differently by lenders than residential loans. Home loan lenders look strictly at the borrower’s income and credit in order to qualify. Commercial mortgage lenders look at the subject property’s rent roll, operating statements, and other factors to determine the cash flow or net income potential. Very strong (low risk) commercial mortgage loans might be priced lower than home loans, while weaker performing properties (higher risk) might be priced higher.
Most commercial mortgage loans today are fixed for 5, 7, or 10 years and come with a 25-30 year amortization schedule. Loans can be recourse (personal guarantee) or non-recourse (no personal guarantee). Commercial mortgage loans typically carry prepayment penalties, whereas residential home loans usually do not. Specific terms will be determined by your lender’s underwriting team after your application is reviewed.
Commercial mortgage lenders typically lend up to 75-80% on an apartment purchase (down payment of 20-25% necessary). On other types of commercial property, commercial mortgage lenders will typically lend up to 70-75% (down payment of 25-30% necessary). An exception is for owner occupied business real estate (such as a business owner buying his own property). Owner/users may qualify for up to 90% LTV financing.

Often, these properties are owner occupied by the owner’s business. We also lend on multi-tenant industrial properties as well.

- Single/Special Use Loans – we have a special lending division that understands small business lending secured by owner occupied businesses such as motels, gas stations, restaurants, car washes, retail stores, and other specialty properties. Many banks have a hard time with this type of lending as they often do not understand the underlying businesses.
- Investment Property Loans – any and all income producing property will be considered. We are cash flow driven lenders and look for properties that generate positive cash flow for their owners. We will consider portfolios of single family residences under this group.
- Bridge Loans – many borrowers do not qualify for regular institutional financing due to various short-term obstacles which need to be resolved before they can qualify for bank type financing. These borrowers often require short term loans, or bridge loans, to overcome these short-term problems.
Our company has multiple capital sources for these loans, including: national banks, regional and local banks, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, HUD, insurance companies, Wall Street conduit lenders (CMBS deals), credit unions and private lenders/hedge funds.

What is happening with Nassau County Commercial mortgage loans in 2023?
As we begin 2023, the Nassau County commercial real estate loan market is facing some obstacles and challenges. In 2022, we saw rampant inflation and a corresponding rapid rise in increase rates initiated by the Federal Reserve. Higher interest rates (and the resulting higher mortgage payments) caused many existing properties to experience cash flow problems, and many new sales to cancel due to cash flow. Towards the end of 2022, we saw inflation start to lessen, but overall, inflation was still running at a rate exceeding 7% per year. The Federal Reserve announced that they intend to continue to raise short term rates during 2023, although at a slower pace than 2022. Their intent is to get inflation down to their target rate of approximately 2%. Higher rates and tighter cash flow are expected to cause cap commercial mortgage rates to climb and commercial real estate values to drop.
While economists expect a slowdown in 2023, most are hopeful that we will not face a steep recession. Corporate profits are strong and employment numbers are solid. While some companies have started to announce layoffs, most believe that they will not be as dramatic as in past recessions. Experts expect unemployment to remain below 6%, a positive sign that this recession will not be severe. Economists expect that lower inflation might cause a softening or rates in the third and fourth quarters of 2023.
In 2023, the commercial real estate market will be most strongly affected by the increased rates caused by the action of the Federal Reserve. As we began 2022, the rate on the 10-year treasury was 1.63%. As we begin 2023, this yield is at 3.84%. Since most commercial mortgage loans are based off the 10-year treasury, many properties will not support high leverage commercial mortgages due to insufficient cash flow. This will result in either: sellers will be forced to lower asking prices, or sellers will not put their properties on the market in 2023.
There is some positive news for commercial mortgage loans in 2023. Assuming the rate of inflation lessens, we might see a drop in commercial mortgage rates in the third and fourth quarters of 2023. There is a record amount of securitized loans set to mature in 2023 in the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) market. These loans will need to be refinanced and this high level of activity is likely to generate activity in the capital markets.
As we begin 2023, commercial mortgage rates are very volatile, and the market is expected to get off to a slow start. We hope to see a leveling off effect later in the year and a resumption of activity later in 2023.
