SBA 504 Loan Program
The SBA 504 Loan Program is a Federal Government Guarantee program designed to incentivize business owners to purchase commercial real estate to occupy their business.
Be sure to browse other episodes in the My SBA Loan Pro Podcast library for more in depth knowledge of the SBA 504 loan program.
A few notable highlights of the SBA 504 loan program include the following: Only a 10% cash down payment, low interest rates fixed up to 25 years, a favorable pre-payment penalty structure, permission to lease up to 49% of the usable square footage and the ability to finance tenant improvements, equipment and loan fees into the loan providing for maximum leverage.
This means business owners are able to fix their real estate costs year over year, be the landlord instead of the tenant and control an asset that generally increases in value, gains equity and is likely to outlive the business itself and its owners.
Moreover, the business owner is able to incorporate either the lease value or sale value of the subject property into their exit strategy when they are ready to sell the business or retire.
That’s why I believe it makes better financial sense for business owners to own commercial real estate to occupy their business even before owning their personal residence.
