Kristen Daniel Commercial Equity Line of Credit

HI Kristen,I've used a lot of commercial LOC's to fund deals similar to what you're doing.Typically a commercial or local portfolio lender will be looking for:- 1.25% DCR or debt coverage ratio or DSCR - debt service coverage ratio- up to 70-80% LTV max depending on local credit union or small lender (usually 1-10 branches or less is the type of profile of lender who will do this)- rates around 4.75 - 5.75% varies from lender to lender- usually charges 1 pt for origination + standard closing/title/recording/etc (for commercial / portfolio note)The distinction is probably going to be whether you want a residential type product on your property to obtain a LOC on or whether you'll want to use the above commercial/portfolio LOC.The benefits of a residential LOC is that it can often times be obtained with the best rates (mid 4's to low 5's) on non owner occupied/investment properties and does not have to meet DCR requirements like a commercial loan has to (above).
