LLC loan interest rates over the last 5 years and refinancing

LLC loan interest rates over the last 5 years and refinancing

New to Real Estate · Member since 2024 · 1 post · 1 vote

Hi everyone! I am trying to understanding the history of interest rates for an LLC loan. My partner and I are in the middle of purchasing a duplex in the Philadelphia area. We are taking a loan out on the LLC with one of us as a personal guarantor; from my understanding, this is a commercial loan. The loan is 7.75% 30-yr fixed.


We were asking our mortgage broker if interest rates ever decrease for these loans. Our broker mentioned that the average interest rate is 7.5-9% and they have never seen the rates drop below 7%. Is this accurate? How would one make a BRRR work in this scenario?

    @Jacqueline Ho, not true. I have rates for mortgages under my LLC's name under 4% from loans I took out a few years ago.

    I'm also surprised they aren't requiring both LLC members (owners) to personally guarantee the loan.

    BRRRR's can work with any interest rate, obviously harder to see good cash-flow right off the bat with rates where they are BUT in the foreseeable future you could refinance to a lower rate. To that end, I might focus on any prepayment penalties the loan you take out has. I would gladly pay a little more interest now for the right to refinance without penalty.

    Hey Jacqueline, 

    Sounds like you are talking about a DSCR or Commercial Loan and vesting in your LLC. Pretty common practice here. DSCR loans do have slightly higher rates than conventional loans, but its not because of the LLC, its because of how they qualify the client (not using personal income).

    Rates will decrease on ALL loans once rates actually decrease in general.  It's due to market data and inflation.  You used to be able to get rates in the 4-5% ranges, but now they are in the 7-8% range due to an increase in inflation.  

    Pricing can also depend on if you have Prepayment Penalties (or not) and credit scores of the guarantors.

    Great Question!

    @Jacqueline Ho Similar to the other posts above, my commercial rates were in the 4% range back in 2020 - 2021 before rates started increasing.

    Yes this is 100% accurate. Also in PA can't have a prepay if loan amount is less than 312k so that can drive the pricing up . What is your scenario looking like ?

    Where is that in the law? I have loans in PA under that amount with prepayment penalties.

    @Jacqueline Ho Rates fluctuate, even when the borrowers own their real estate in an LLC. By of example, in April of 2022 I refinanced some newly built housing units at a 5.25% rate. If I happened to seek the same refinance a few months earlier, the rate would have been even lower. Meanwhile I originated a refinance loan in July of 2023 on a nearly identically built housing product and the rate was 6.66%. I am not sure where the pricing is today as all of my recently originated debt is construction financing which is adjustable and tied to the fed rate but your broker is not being honest with you if they are saying rates never drop below 7%.

    As for your desire to complete a BRRRR, the interest rates certainly impact the debt coverage ratio and thus the refinance proceeds. In many cases the DCR is limiting refinances to lower LTV's. I always advise investors to be mindful of why they are so focused on the BRRRR strategy. I say this because many place greater significance on whether they can receive a return of their capital over other criterion that are far more critical to the properties success. It is easier to complete a BRRRR transaction in North Philadelphia than say Society Hill. I wouldn't equate the north philadelphia investment as being better...but many on these forums would because they are hyper focused on return of capital which in my oppinion is incredibly flawed.

    Like many said here it sounds like a DSCR loan.

    You could get sub 5% a couple of years ago and even close to 4%. 7.75% for a no doc DSCR loan for an LLC is actually pretty good. Conventional primary 5% down on a duplex is not even that much more competitive...

    Are you sure that isn't just for a residential loan for a primary residence? Lending rules tend to be different for commercial loans and loans not for primary residences.

    Do you know where I can find information about this law?

     Are you a direct lender or broker? There are rules that sometimes come into play for states like PA and OH, but they aren't uniform across the board from lender to lender in the commercial space. I have brokered loans in these states that include prepayment penalties.

    Yes we are a direct lender . Barrett actually brokers a lot of bridge, fix and flip, ground up construction and DSCR . I believe Rich Hauser is your rep

     Are you a direct lender or broker? There are rules that sometimes come into play for states like PA and OH, but they aren't uniform across the board from lender to lender in the commercial space. I have brokered loans in these states that include prepayment penalties. 


    Yes we are a direct lender . Barrett actually brokers a lot of bridge, fix and flip, ground up construction and DSCR . I believe Rich Hauser is your rep


     Yep!

    Where is that in the law? I have loans in PA under that amount with prepayment penalties. 

     LOL! You're doing it here too. Don't know much about this either, huh? Leave it to Mr. Argumentative to come out with the totally irrelevant anecdote as if it changes anything.

    If you scroll back to @Brittany Minocchi's comments you'll see that I am apparently correct and they are allowed.

    The promissory notes I signed have prepayment penalties. I wasn't arguing they weren't legal. If there was a law I was not aware of I wanted to learn about it!

    And yes, if prepayment penalties were not legal that would be VERY pertinent in this post since the poster is in my state and considering loans they may want to refinance before too long when rates drop.

    Hi everyone! I am trying to understanding the history of interest rates for an LLC loan. My partner and I are in the middle of purchasing a duplex in the Philadelphia area. We are taking a loan out on the LLC with one of us as a personal guarantor; from my understanding, this is a commercial loan. The loan is 7.75% 30-yr fixed.


    We were asking our mortgage broker if interest rates ever decrease for these loans. Our broker mentioned that the average interest rate is 7.5-9% and they have never seen the rates drop below 7%. Is this accurate? How would one make a BRRR work in this scenario?


    I think your broker is accurate when it comes to the loan type that is commonly called a DSCR loan. DSCR loans are subprime loans that were re-branded and the name was stolen from the commercial portfolio loan industry. Those loans are expense and I do not recall them going below 7%. I'm sure there will be one person with a perfect scenario including an unreasonably low LTV that will disagree, but I don't believe your asking for what is the lowest they can go in a perfect situation, but rather what is a realistic rate you can expect in the future and 7% is a realistic low end.

    That being said you can get significantly lower rates and fees on a commercial portfolio loan that uses a DSCR calculation along with looking at your global cash flow. These loans require your personal "DTI" to be in order, but to put it in perspective I see those rates at or around 7.49% on investment LLC loans with 20-25% down and 2% or less in orignation fees. A few years ago I locked into one of these loans for 5 years at 4%, also on an investment property loan that wrapped two properties and pulled cash out to 75%. This is not meant to brag. It's meant to illustrate that if you're personal income qualifies you will be able to beat the "DSCR" rates in the future.

    Likely you have an ARM (adjustable rate mortgage) rate with a 30 year amortization not 30 year fixed. Typically they will outline you the floor and ceiling on that rate to give you an idea that if rates drop, what's the min on it. This is a very typical set up for LLC (commercial loan).

    DSCR loans for 1-4 Units have been in the low 5s-high 4% when rates were very low overall. back a few years ago

    They tend to lag behind conventional mortgages, but have stayed stable these lasts few months. Slight hikes here and there and dips but I have seen DSCR in the 7s to high 8s for the past 12 months. Lately you can price a DSCR loan in the high 6s if its a low leverage, excellent credit deal

    Always good to shop around. Rates/terms/fees  can vary.
