Debt Yield : The commercial property ’ s NOI as a percentage of their total loan amount . The mathematical formula is as follows : NOI / Loan Amount = Debt Yield .
For example , a small industrial building owner collects $ 100,000 NOI each year . His existing mortgage loan balance is $ 1 million , so his annual debt yield is 10 % ($ 100,000 NOI / $ 1 million mortgage balance ).
Multiple Underwriting Approval Solutions
As you better learn how lenders analyze properties , you will clearly understand that you have more than one loan program available . Some properties and owners will easily qualify after sharing tax returns , liquid assets , profitandloss statements , and a detailed income and expense history for their property . Other investors , however , know that their property ’ s cash flow is breakeven or negative , but the future upside for these properties can be tremendous after occupancy rates are pushed higher .
Many commercial property owners experienced unusually high vacancy rates in recent years due to the combination of the pandemic , skyrocketing inflation , rising tenant payment delinquencies , and increasing rates for consumer debt . If so , the income and expense numbers for these commercial properties will probably not qualify at a traditional bank .
Commercial borrowers are more likely to qualify with assetbased nonbank lenders that may not closely review the income and expense numbers for the property . The verifying of income for assetbased , nonbank lenders isn ’ t necessary because these loans are based more on the appraised value of the subject property and its future income potential . At a later date when the income and occupancy rates are higher while the operating expenses decline , the owner can refinance into a much longer loan term at a lower rate and monthly payment .
Remember , it ’ s much better to have multiple lending options available for your property purchases or ballooning loan or cashout refinance needs than just one local bank . The more efficient and flexible the mortgage broker ’ s
