Along with a broker client base who work closely with and trust N.Y.C.U. to underwrite their loan files correctly on a daily basis.

It is always convenient for the “Loan Originator” to put the blame on either “you” the client or the lender (never themselves), when in fact 98% of the time it is the Loan Originators inexperience or inability to understand the underwriting process as the main reason for YOUR LOAN not closing, N.Y.C.U. prides itself on performing the necessary due diligence to properly package and present YOUR LOAN correctly.

  • Commercial Mortgage Interest Rates
    Commercial mortgage interest rates are a combination of the margin that the bank changes and the index that they use. For example if a bank quoted Prime (the index) plus 2% (the margin) you're actual or "effective interest rate" would be 7% (Prime is currently at 5%).

    Lenders use a wide range of indexes. On owner occupant transactions Prime is still very popular and is used much of the time. This is especially true with floating rate loans.

    Traditional financing provides much needed funding to advance major commercial or other tangible projects, and it is particularly beneficial to companies that plan months in advance.

These agreements involve formal appraisals, third-party reports and approval from loan committees. In many cases, clients also need previous experience or equity partners to qualify. The approval process is long, complicated and uncertain. Commercial financing may also involve last-minute surprises should the bank or financial institution change terms or pull funding altogether. Even with adequate assets, the project may not garner approval. Worse yet, a bank can call its notes due at any moment, because its lending guidelines may have changed or their investors or regulators may not be satisfied with the lending institution's choice of investments.
