A recent success story from our portfolio—a remarkable $3.8 million private money purchase loan with a competitive 9.5% interest rate.

Our journey began with a unique property—a cash-flowing golf coarse. While the property's cash flow potential was evident, its distinctive structure presented a challenge, causing multiple lenders to shy away. Undeterred, a determined borrower approached us, seeking a solution that would overcome the obstacles standing in the way of his investment dreams.

At Commercial Capital Ltd., we pride ourselves on being problem solvers, and this case was no exception. Armed with expertise and a commitment to finding tailored solutions, we navigated the intricacies of the deal and secured the best-priced private money fund available. The result? A stellar 9.5% interest-only rate, accompanied by just one lender point—a testament to our dedication to providing competitive terms.

While recent endeavors with the same lender have yielded rates in the 8% range, the unique nature of this property justified a slightly higher rate. Nevertheless, in a market where most private money loans hover at 12% or higher and the Prime Rate stands at 8.5%, securing a fixed interest-only rate in the 9% range for private money is nothing short of stellar.

At Commercial Capital Ltd., our commitment extends beyond closing loans; we strive to secure the best rates for our clients, ensuring their financial success. This success story not only highlights our ability to close complex deals but also emphasizes our knack for achieving competitive rates even in challenging circumstances.

As we continue to champion the financial goals of our clients, we invite you to explore the possibilities with Commercial Capital Ltd. We don't just close loans; we craft success stories. Join us on this journey, where your unique aspirations meet our unwavering commitment to excellence in commercial financing. Give me a CALL TODAY at 512-358-1511.

P.S. WE have money and we do not charge ANYTHING to get you to that term sheet. That's right, we are the ONLY NO-RISK OPTION IN COMMERCIAL. I will underwrite your loan and, quickly determine whether we can get it closed or not, and if so, we will have terms in 48 hours or less from receipt of the basic docs. No cost, no risk. We close you or we make NOTHING. IF YOUR CURRENT BANK IS SAYING NO OR WORSE...TAKING FOREVER TO DECIDE, GIVE ME A CALL TODAY. I will have you quick answers and, you'll be on your way to a closing-just call 512-358-1511 or get started by going here https://applycommercialloans.com/apply-now/

I had a great December closing eight (8) loans, amazingly, it was split down the middle with four (4) loans being SBA and four (4) loans being private money. Banks tightened last year and they have not opened up yet so SBA and Private Money are where much of the closings are happening. Here are some samples of the loans we closed last month….

$3.6 Million Private Money Purchase loan with a 9.5% Rate

This was a cash-flowing property but an odd property as it was all duplexes on one deed. The borrower was solid, and the cash flow was there, but multiple lenders turned him down because of the type of property. Up against the gun, he came to us and we got him closed with the best-priced private money fund out there, a stellar 9.5% interest-only rate with one (1) point. I have gotten rates in the 8’s with this lender recently but this property made for a slightly higher rate. Still, with MOST PRIVATE MONEY AT 12% Or Higher, and the Prime Rate currently at 8.5%, a fixed interest-only rate in the 9’s for private money is STELLAR right now. We not only get the loans closed, we often do it at the best rate! Call Brian Peart today at 770-908-1672 or e-mail me at [email protected]

$725,000 SBA Debt Consolidation Loan…with Credit Issues!

The borrower was a Dentist who lost his license years ago from a malpractice situation. He since had gotten it back and his practice was making money again but it was a grind to get out of it and he had numerous credit issues. Still, we were able to find an SBA lender to do the deal and consolidate all his high-cost debt into one loan. It’s possible no one else in the country could have gotten that loan done. As an approved correspondent to 100 bank and non-bank lenders, we can simply do SBA deals that others can not. IF YOU HAVE BEEN DENIED ELSEWHERE ON AN SBA LOAN, DON’T GIVE UP! GIVE US A TRY. MOST of our SBA closings were deals that other banks denied. We are experts in SBA, both with or WITHOUT REAL ESTATE. Give us a try. You won’t regret it!!!!

$648,000 Private Money Loan to bridge the gap until SBA could close

We have two (2) private money funds in-house, one is what you typically think of as private money for low LTV, issues that make it hard for banks to do, etc. We have been getting very busy of late on that fund. The other one is a HIGH LTV bridge loan to an SBA or bank takeout. In this case, the deal came to me from a broker who had SBA approval but they needed more time to close and the seller would not extend if it didn't close in less than 3 weeks. So we took it in and got it funded FAST at the SAME 90% LTV THAT THE SBA WAS GIVING! Our exit will be a takeout by the SBA in 4 months.

When it comes to commercial or business loans-we are the place to go. SBA, CONSTRUCTION, PRIVATE MONEY, GREAT BANK RATES, we have it all!


P.S. WE have money and we do not charge ANYTHING to get you to that term sheet. That's right, we are the ONLY NO-RISK OPTION IN COMMERCIAL. I will underwrite your loan and, quickly determine whether we can get it closed or not, and if so, we will have terms in 48 hours or less from receipt of the basic docs. No cost, no risk.

Post: Seller Carry: A Strategic Edge in Business Sales

Why Consider Seller Carry in Business Sales? Well, it turns out it's not just good for buyers – sellers benefit too! Let's take a closer look at why sellers are choosing this option and how it can be a win-win situation for everyone involved.

  1. 1. Sell Faster and Easier: Sellers want their businesses to find new owners quickly. Seller Carry in SBA loans makes the buying process more appealing, helping sellers sell their businesses faster and with less hassle.

    2. More Buyers to Choose From: Not all buyers can get traditional loans easily. Seller Carry opens the door for more people to buy businesses. This means sellers have a better chance of finding the right buyer who shares their vision for the business.

    3. Better Deals in Negotiations: Including Seller Carry in the deal gives sellers an advantage in negotiations. It allows for more flexible terms, like interest rates and repayment plans, making the seller's business stand out in a competitive market.

    4. Steady Money Coming In: Sellers offering Seller Carry get a regular income from the interest on the loan. This helps sellers stay financially stable even after they've sold their businesses, which is pretty cool.

    5. Not Too Many Taxes Right Away: Sellers can get some tax benefits by spreading out when they get the money. Seller Carry can help sellers manage their taxes better, giving them more control over their money.

    6. Seller Carry Enhances SBA Loan Strengthens: By providing a loan through Seller Carry, sellers demonstrate to the lender their confidence in the business's prospective success and their commitment to assisting the buyer during the transition phase.

Sellers are liking Seller Carry in SBA loans because it makes selling their businesses easier, attracts more buyers, and comes with some pretty cool financial perks. By understanding these benefits, sellers can make smart choices, ensuring a win-win situation for everyone involved in the business sale.

Ah, a new year. You have your goals, your dreams, and this year you are really going to nail it! It all sounds good…..until it doesn’t. So let me give you some advice from years watching this same drama unfold that will help to make 2024 better for you.

TIP 1: Don’t try to do too much. We always OVER-estimate what we can do in 1 year and UNDER-estimate what we can do in 10 years. If you have not worked out in 6 months, don’t start back with 3 sets of 10 of max weight. And this goes for all your goals…small bites that you actually do and then adding to them is WAY better then trying to do everything in week 1 and flaming out

TIP 2: Have INTEGRITY. Do what you say you will do. You set a goal to do this thing on this day, do it. Stick to it. If you start to find yourself getting distracted stick to the plan. Most plans don’t fail because they are bad, they fail because they are not executed. Do what you say you will do. Period.

TIP 3: EXPECT Disruption. Disruption happens. It happens to all of us. You start back

walking in the morning and then on day 2 you get Covid. You start a new ad campaign at work and then someone hacks your bank account. Don’t crawl up into a shell, ask God “why is this happening to me?”, or just check out. Handle the disruption as expediently as you can and get back to the original plan. If you get Covid, rest, get better and once you are better, get back in the game. Don’t beat yourself up….you didn’t cause it. It is just life. Handle it the best you can and then move on. Often, that disruption becomes a test and a breakthrough in your growth. So enjoy this ride….no matter what the world throws at you, you are still you. You CAN handle it.

To quote the Joker from Batman…..”Why so serious”. It’s just life. It’s fun. Do your best and enjoy it-the ups AND the downs…growth can happen and growth is FUN! Enjoy.
