Alternative Financing For Commercial Properties It is no secret that the current economic recession has fostered a very unfriendly lending environment for small businesses. Small businesses looking to expand their current facilities or acquire new and larger facilities have often been met by a slamming door. Once reliable conventional commercial real estate lenders, both local and national, have clamped down underwriting policies. High loan to value ratios, short term notes, variable interest rates and additional collateral requirements have become the norm for conventional commercial real estate lending. These factors have paved the road that is leading small businesses to government loan programs provided through the United States Small Business Administration and the United States Department of Agriculture. This article is intended to describe three very popular sources of funding for small businesses planning to acquire new or larger facilities.

SBA 504 Program Given lenders general unwillingness to fix interest rates in the current market, there is another loan with a partial guarantee from the SBA that is gaining popularity in the small business community. This is the SBA 504 Program which focuses on providing small business with the option for long-term, fixed-rate financing to purchase real estate and other fixed assets. SBA 504 loans are administered by CDCs or Certified Development Companies. A CDC is a private, nonprofit corporation formed to foster economic development for specific communities. The loan is typically structured with the commercial lender financing 50% and taking the first lien position, the CDC financing 40% and taking the second lien position, and the borrower providing 10% of the equity. The final product is actually two loans, one with the private commercial lender and one with the CDC/SBA. The CDC/SBA portion of the loan can have a fixed rate term of up to twenty (20) years and the private lender has the option to negotiate its fixed rate terms directly with the borrower. This structure gives the lender a low Loan-to-Value, as well as a first lien position, and a creative way to provide financing to its small business customers. It offers buyers an option for long-term, fixed-rate financing with as little as a 10% equity contribution. USDA B&I Loan Program The United States Department of Agriculture offers the Business and Industry loan program. This intent of the B&I program is to improve, develop or finance projects that improve the economic climate of rural communities. The program is an excellent option for small business real estate purchases but is limited to rural areas. The rural area must be beyond any 50,000 + population city and its urbanized periphery.

SBA 7(a) Program The SBA 7(a) program is the primary and most commonly utilized loan program provided by the Small Business Administration as well as the most flexible. Loans for commercial real estate generally have repayment terms of up to twenty five (25) years. In the 7(a) program, the small business applies for financing with a commercial lender and the SBA will guaranty a percentage of the debt. If the borrower does not repay the loan, the SBA will reimburse the lender up to the percentage of the loan that they have guaranteed. This structure gives commercial lenders the security to make loans with less stringent underwriting requirements that would otherwise be impossible. While the 7(a) program is the most popular option, it currently has one significant downfall, interest rates are most likely going to be variable or fixed for a very short term such as three (3) years. The interest rate on the 7(a) program is negotiated between the lender and the borrower and is typically tied to the Prime rate, which was 3.25% at the time of this article. It is easy to see that the interest rate for this SBA loan has the potential to be quite low, however it will likely not be fixed and has the potential to balloon in the future.

Similar to the SBA 7(a) program, interest rates are negotiated between the lender and the borrower and the USDA guarantees a certain percentage of the loan, typically up to 80% for loans under $5 million. This program offers loan terms of up to thirty (30) years with the borrowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equity position being as low as 20%. It is an excellent program for lenders to participate in secondary markets and gives businesses in rural communities a competitive financing option. With the complexity of the commercial real estate market and the challenges that small businesses face with obtaining financing in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market, it is critically important to seek the help of a professional in industry to assist with acquiring Retail, Office or Industrial real estate. If you are a business seeking to expand or acquire larger facilities, the Commercial Group at Oldham Goodwin is committed to providing you with unmatched local market knowledge and specific commercial real estate expertise.

Mineral Rights & Their Significance in Acquisition & Disposition of Raw Land Properties When making a decision to purchase or dispose of a land asset, many important factors come in to play. Some of the more common issues that arise during the course of an average transaction come as a result of review of title, and more specifically the mineral estate and its effect on a given piece of property. With the recent spike in energy prices and subsequent exploration boom in the Texas oil and gas industry, mineral interest has become a major point of emphasis during the negotiation of contracts and in the subsequent due diligence period. A mineral right is technically defined as follows: “A mineral right is the right to extract a mineral from the earth or to receive

significant premium for them. This creates quite a conundrum as land buyers seek to protect their investments in a state that has seen land prices rise rather sharply over the course of the last 10 years. Buyers are looking for some sort of protection and want the piece of mind that comes with knowing that at minimum they have some sort of control over the mineral activity on the property that they are about to purchase. Recreational buyers certainly don’t want to purchase their retirement home in the country, only to be overrun by drilling rigs and oil field service trucks at a later date. Commercial developers don’t want to see an oil well pad in place of their proposed hotel. Fortunately, there is some room for common ground that is beneficial to both buyers and sellers as shown in the proposed solutions below. First and least common, is the conveyance of executive rights. In cases where oil field activity exists on a property and leases are active, the seller may convey a portion or all of their executive rights to the buyer while still retaining current and future royalty payments. This gives a buyer the security of being in a position to approve or reject the execution of any new leases on the property in question.

payment, in the form of a royalty, for the extraction of minerals” (Source: Texas Railroad Commission). Depending on context, the term mineral may have several different meanings. In terms of real estate, mineral most commonly refers to “fossil fuels”, also known as oil, natural gas and coal. When an entity or an individual has an ownership interest in a property’s mineral rights, they also usually own the associated executive rights as well. Executive rights give the mineral owner the decision making authority when it comes to the negotiation and execution of mineral leases below the surface of a piece of property. While mineral rights themselves are not usually a major factor when it comes to the future development of land, they do carry value as a negotiating tool in both the acquisition and disposition of property, both commercial and recreational. It is quite common that conveyance of mineral rights in a land transaction becomes the most pressing negotiating point, and sometimes even a deal breaker. Given today’s economic climate and the recent rise in energy prices, sellers in possession of mineral rights are becoming more and more protective of them, especially in areas that can currently be defined as hot zones for oil field activity. This is understandable, as mineral owners have gotten in to mindset of seeing their mineral interest as a future financial windfall in the form of royalty payments, when the next gusher is drilled on their property. All of this makes it very difficult to acquire mineral rights in these times without paying a

On properties where oil field activity fails to exist, most commonly on urban unimproved or commercial properties, we will see sellers offer full conveyance of surface rights. When mineral rights are unattainable, having full control of the surface use on a property is absolutely imperative for a prospective land owner for several reasons. Without surface control, title insurance becomes nearly impossible to acquire. Having surface control also affords the land owner the right to compensation for surface damages in the event of exploration activity on the property. Having surface control also puts a land owner in the position to negotiate with exploration companies, so that the installation and location of any oil field infrastructure is as friendly as possible to the future use and development of the site. Finally, there are obviously a myriad of other important issues affecting the sale and purchase of land assets. Investing in real estate is likely to be one of the most significant financial commitments you will make in your lifetime. For this reason, it is essential that all i’s are dotted and all t’s are crossed long before the ink begins to dry at the closing table. When the time comes to make a decision on a purchase or sale, it is always a good idea to hire a real estate attorney with proficiency in oil and gas matters to ensure that your transaction moves forward smoothly and efficiently.

Five Pitfalls Investors Make When Acquiring Multifamily Properties & How To Avoid Them Potential multifamily investors often know little about the business of leasing housing to tenants and how to evaluate opportunities. Taxes, property management, industry knowledge, leverage and location are each vital to success. Below are some considerations when evaluating multifamily properties.

mize both occupancy and rental rates. Owners will also look at clever marketing strategies and assume that they will be able to increase both rent and occupancy. The uninformed and unsophisticated owner will apply marketing assumptions made by the seller’s agent as fact when evaluating the property. Prudent buyers will conduct their own due diligence with the help of professionals (engineers, commercial real estate agents, HVAC professionals, surveyors, city officials, lenders, etc.) to evaluate numerous factors that will aid in evaluating the future performance of the property. Finally buyers must understand who their tenants are and what will attract them to the subject property.

4. Don’t Get Greedy!

1. Taxes!

Local County Appraisal Districts will seize the opportunity to readjust the taxable value and often substantially increase the annual tax burden when sales data is discovered. Potential investors often use the current property tax burden included in marketing materials when evaluating the profitability of a property. The prudent investor will anticipate the increased potential tax burden and evaluate the property accordingly.

2. “One size fits all?” – Property Management

Property management firms vary greatly in the scope and quality of the services they provide and the type of properties that they can manage effectively. The selection of a management partner is the most important decision an investor will make in the multifamily property acquisition process. It is important to understand how the management firm will handle the daily operations of the property. Will they employ on site leasing and maintenance staff at the property or manage these tasks from offsite with third party contractors? What does their periodic accounting report include? How often will the owner receive reports? What are the fees charged by the manager? How will they market the property to maintain high occupancy? After selection, it is important that the investor continue to demand the best efforts from the manager. The ownership of multifamily property is not and should not be treated as a passive investment. The highest return on investment requires constant attention by the owner.

3. Education

It is imperative that the owner and manager regularly monitor lease rates of comparable properties in the area to maxi-

Multifamily property ownership should not be analyzed on cash flow only. The buyer should ask themselves if similar properties are appreciating and at what rate. The tax benefits of depreciation must also be considered. How the property is financed and how leverage is applied can present tremendous opportunities with multifamily investments. Potential investors must study and investigate appropriate loan to value amounts that will allow the property to operate at desired returns. The lending environment has recently changed and now requires much more conservative loan to value ratios than in recent years. Prudent investors must plan to reinvest a portion of the income to insure the future performance of the asset.

5. It’s the Neighborhood!

Location, location, location is the phrase often uttered when discussing real estate. This is true with multifamily property. The current surrounding properties and neighborhood will greatly impact the desirability of the subject property from the tenant’s perspective. Is the neighborhood deteriorating? What will the surrounding properties look like in 5 years? 10 years? If upgrades are made to the subject property to attract higher paying tenants, will that potential resident feel comfortable with the surrounding environment with regards to shopping, safety, convenience and access? Are investors, developers and homeowners attracted to this area and are they actively enhancing the neighborhood? Multifamily ownership offers a tremendous way to build wealth. With diligent focus on operations and resident satisfaction, owners can maximize returns.
