Commercial financing question
Most Popular Reply

@Michael Vallee What you hear commonly is 'if you have a commercial property in an LLC' your personal finances are not important, the property is'. As @Dan Wallace and @Ronald Rohde pointed out though, they are generally not going to give a loan on a strong property to a weak borrower just because it's a good property.
They will want to see your personal financial statement/net worth/balance sheet and they will want to see that you earned good money in the last 2 years from some source on your tax returns.
And this only makes sense, right? If you find a stellar deal that is a cash cow but you make no money and are in debt $200k why would they lend to you?
It sounds like this is not the case with you, you just no longer have a W2 but have good credit and financials. Just trying to help you understand what they will look at and dispell the myth that a lender will give you a pass just because you have a good property.
The old saying 'Banks most want to loan money to people that don't need it' is very true.
