To approve this loan, a lender will look at your business\u2019s income or (sometimes) the potential in your idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few costs you pay to secure a commercial real estate (CRE) loan include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The down payment (it is mostly 20-35% of the property\u2019s value)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A monthly interest (the cost of borrowing the money).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The actual chunk of the loan paid back each month (called the principal amount).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since these are the inevitable costs, some think these are the only ones worth tracking. However, commercial real estate loans come with a few hidden charges that, if not accounted for, can impact your balance sheets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why today we\u2019re talking about costs that some CRE loan borrowers tend to overlook. Keep reading!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costs in Commercial Real Estate Loans Owners May Overlook\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/insights\/industry\/financial-services\/financial-services-industry-outlooks\/commercial-real-estate-outlook.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deloitte<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> report, increasing interest rates and cost of capital are among the top concerns in CRE debt markets. These giant hurdles aside, you should also watch out for the following silent costs as they pile up fast:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepayment Penalties<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide to pay off your commercial loan earlier than the agreed-upon date, you\u2019ll pay a fee. This <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/p\/prepaymentpenalty.asp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prepayment penalty<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> exists because lenders count on earning a certain amount of interest over the full term. So if you opt out of the agreement earlier than decided, this penalty is the compensation for the interest income they lose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most commercial loans, the effective penalty can be 2\u20135% of the outstanding loan balance early in the term. And then, it typically decreases as the loan gets closer to its maturity date. For instance, if you have a $5 million loan and the penalty is 3%, the fee can be $150,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rate Lock or Extension Fees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can loosely define the rate lock as an insurance policy you buy from your lender. It guarantees that your agreed-upon interest rate won&#8217;t increase between the time you get your loan commitment and the closing date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notably, some lenders offer a standard 30-to-60-day lock for free, during which you don\u2019t pay a higher interest. But if you want a longer lock period or wish to extend the expiring lock, it\u2019ll come with an attached cost. This fee is non-refundable and costs you 0.25% to 0.50% of the loan amount.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These fees are one-time expenses that increase your immediate out-of-pocket costs. However, they do not directly affect your future monthly payments; they just ensure your loan closes on time at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rok.biz\/commercial-real-estate-loan-rates\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">commercial real estate loan rates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you budgeted for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental Report Fees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an upfront fee that covers the cost of hiring an expert to inspect your property for potential toxic issues, such as soil or groundwater contamination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rok.biz\/business-loans\/commercial-real-estate-financing-2\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CRE loans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the initial check is called a Phase I report. At this point, the expert looks at records and inspects the site, costing $1,500-$5,000+. If the real estate in question is a complex industrial site, the fee will run much higher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note that you, as the borrower\/owner, only face this fee if the report finds a problem, because then, you&#8217;ll need an expensive Phase II report to do more soil\/water sampling. If contamination in your property is confirmed, the real hidden cost on your loan will show as the massive cleanup charges or the potential for a lower property value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reserve Requirements<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A reserve requirement means you set aside cash as funds for future major expenses or if you face a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/mortgages\/cash-reserves-for-mortgage\/#:~:text=Reserves%20for%20a%20mortgage%20refer,down%20payment%20and%20closing%20costs.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business loss<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This mostly hidden cost is often based on the property size, like $0.10 to $0.35 per square foot per year, or a set amount per unit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For taxes and insurance, the initial amount is fixed to cover a short-term cushion (usually two months). But over the loan&#8217;s life, these funds can reduce the money you can use for other business needs, so understanding them is important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspection Fees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You pay an inspection fee when the lender needs to check the collateral; it\u2019s like a service charge paid to an inspector or appraiser. These costs depend on your property\u2019s specifications, but in most cases, it\u2019s a flat fee of $1500 and up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, this cost appears whenever the lender wants to verify the property&#8217;s condition. Suppose you have a 10-year loan and the lender requires four inspections. That\u2019s four separate fees added to your operating costs, so being unaware of these will hurt your finances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every commercial real estate investment is a massive opportunity, but you don\u2019t realize its full implications without seeing the whole financial picture. Now that we have discussed some hidden costs that come with these loans, you can budget smarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t want surprise charges to chip away at your profit, explore commercial real estate loans at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rok.biz\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ROK Financial<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Let\u2019s talk!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is a balloon payment?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A balloon payment is a large lump sum you must pay at the end of a commercial loan&#8217;s term. Since your monthly payments only cover a small part of the principal, the final payment is hefty and covers the remaining debt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is the timeline of a commercial real estate loan shorter than that of a home loan?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commercial loans are shorter (5-10 years) because they allow the lender to re-evaluate the property&#8217;s value and the interest rates more frequently. These aspects protect the lender from long-term market changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do I have to personally guarantee a commercial real estate loan?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, a personal guarantee is required for most small-to-mid-sized commercial loans. It means that if your business defaults, the lender can go after your personal assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"position: absolute!important; top: 0!important; left: 0!important; width: 0!important; height: 0!important; display: block!important;\" data-transferchain-root=\"\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t skip the fine print of your commercial real estate loan; it might show some hidden costs.
