The Commercial Loan Officer's Guide to Financing
This guide allows the experienced residential lender to expand on a
base of knowledge and acquire expertise in the commercial business -
financing investment real estate and owner-occupied business loans.
While many banks have their own guidelines there are basic
fundamental concepts which apply regardless of the type of financing
sought.
This guide is a reference as well as a training tool for providing
commercial financing.
The reader learns basic financing concepts - income property analysis,
valuation analysis and how borrowers and properties are qualified.
There is an assumption that the student has an understanding of how to
utilize the financial calculator. The student begins to survey the different
types of properties being financing - Apartment Complexes, Shopping Centers,
Owner Occupied Businesses, Lease Financing - and the types of programs which
are available for financing each type. Conduit programs, Government
Programs, and Bank Financing is illustrated. Transaction types are
covered to the extent that there are numerous ownership forms and
acquisition methodologies. A section on packaging addresses
documentation requirements for specific types of properties as well as
submission standards for the industry so the student understands the level
of information which must be presented.
Excel Spreadsheets are an intrinsic part of processing and underwriting
commercial loans. Spreadsheets on disk for all major property
types are included with the text as an additional value. Other
firms sell these spreadsheet templates as programs for hundreds of
dollars - included complimentary with text.
