Pretty much think of a commercial loan process as a residential loan process backwards.Lenders do go off the income of the property, but they also do check out the purchaser...3 years tax returns and a personal financial statement. 

I recommend a simple spreadsheet to check your math and it will make it simple to adjust each year.End the complaints.
