How To Refinance A Commercial Mortgage – Winston Rowe And Associates

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Nov. 20, 2018 - PRLog -- There are good reasons to pursue refinancing of commercial property.

Reasons to refinance a commercial property mortgage:

The main reason investors refinance commercial property is to take advantage of the savings from a lower interest rate and longer loan terms, which simultaneously reduces long-term debt as well as monthly payments.

Taking cash out on refinancing gives the owner funds to make improvements on the property that they can then justify an increase in tenant rents.

Refinancing also lets the borrower get out from under an adjustable-rate commercial property mortgage.

Common commercial mortgage refinance requirements:

A lender starts the process of refinancing a commercial mortgage by checking the property owner's business credit.

When refinancing through a bank, the lender reviews the available collateral in the property, as well as the net operating income (NOI) of the investor or the underlying business that owns the property.

NOI is one of the most important factors lenders evaluate in deciding whether to refinance a commercial property.
