So this is what I got from a HML as a reason for denial
Most all of the leases are currently month to month or approaching the end of their terms.Commercial tenants are of low quality.The requested loan amount approximates the original purchase price of the property (I understand that you have made some improvements to the property).The location is remote (this is just a factor, not the deciding factor).The leases all started as 6 months or a year most tenants stay a long time we have two that have been there 5 years or more. We did have two move out and we had one unit moved in 5 days later and the other 14 days later so M2M has not been an issue. I could probably get all 1 year leases but that holds back our rent raising ability for 12 months and I dont think it solves the other three issues.
Not sure what they want for HIGH quality commercial tenants but one has been there 3 years and the other just moved in because we just put the space on the market but both pay fair rents on time.
I'm only trying to get what I owe on the building but I have raised the rents 3 x and raised the income infinitely since it was not making money when I bought it and my original Owner contract was interest only. Do I need to ask for less money and make up some difference myself?
