Bank Term Loans for Commercial Real Estate: FAQs

What is a bank term loan for commercial real estate?
A bank term loan is a fixed or variable rate loan from a commercial bank used to acquire, refinance, or improve income-producing property. Terms typically run 5–25 years with amortization up to 25 or 30 years.
Who qualifies for a bank term loan?
Lenders look for stabilized cash flow, a minimum DSCR of about 1.20x–1.30x, acceptable leverage up to 75–80% LTV, experienced sponsorship, and clean credit and liquidity.
Which property types are eligible?
Multifamily, industrial & warehouse, office, retail & shopping centers, mixed-use, and owner-occupied commercial buildings are typically eligible.
What terms and structures are common?
Terms of 5–25 years, amortization of 20–30 years, fixed or floating rates, and full or partial recourse. Some banks offer interest-only periods for qualified borrowers.
How do bank term loans compare to SBA 504 or 7(a)?
Bank term loans can close faster with simpler structures and are well-suited to stabilized income. SBA 504 and 7(a) can provide higher leverage or longer fixed rates for owner-users but involve additional program rules, fees, and approvals.
How do bank term loans compare to CMBS loans?
Bank loans are relationship-driven and can be more flexible on servicing after close. CMBS can provide higher proceeds and longer interest-only, but has strict loan documents and prepayment provisions with less flexibility.
What are typical prepayment penalties?
Prepayment structures are generally negotiable. Step-down schedules are common, such as 5-4-3-2-1%. Some lenders use yield maintenance or allow a short open period before maturity.
What is the timeline to close?
Most bank term loans close in 30–45 days from a complete package. Timing depends on third-party reports, appraisal, environmental review, and title.
What documents are required?
Rent roll, trailing-12 month operating statements, historical financials, borrower financial statements and tax returns, organizational documents, purchase contract (if applicable), and third-party reports (appraisal, environmental, property condition).
Can I recapture equity on a refinance?
Yes, subject to lender LTV and DSCR requirements and any seasoning or use-of-proceeds rules. Proceeds can often be used for improvements or new acquisitions.
