Overview

What Are Commercial Real Estate Loans?

Commercial real estate (CRE) loans provide financing for purchasing, refinancing, constructing, or renovating income-producing properties and owner-occupied business properties. Unlike residential mortgages, commercial loans are underwritten based on the property's cash flow, the borrower's business strength, and the overall deal structure.

CRE financing comes in many forms — conventional permanent loans, SBA 504 loans, bridge financing for fast closes, construction loans for ground-up development, and DSCR loans for investment properties. The right structure depends on the property type, your timeline, and your financial profile.

At Blackburn Business Capital, our network of 100+ lending partners includes banks, credit unions, CMBS lenders, private capital sources, and SBA-approved lenders who specialize in commercial real estate. Whether you're acquiring a strip mall, building a hotel, or refinancing a warehouse, we match your deal with the lender best positioned to fund it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial Real Estate Loan FAQ
How much can I borrow for commercial real estate?

Our network funds CRE deals from $100,000 to over $50 million. The amount depends on the property value, your down payment, the property's income, your credit profile, and the loan program. For larger deals, we can structure multi-lender capital stacks including senior debt, mezzanine financing, and preferred equity.

What types of commercial properties do you finance?

Virtually every type: office buildings, retail centers, strip malls, warehouses, industrial facilities, multi-family apartments (5+ units), hotels, restaurants, medical offices, mixed-use buildings, storage facilities, gas stations, car washes, churches, and more. If it's commercial property, we likely have a lender who specializes in it.

What's the difference between a bridge loan and a permanent loan?

A bridge loan is short-term (6-36 months), higher rate, and funds fast — ideal for acquisitions, renovations, or stabilizing a property before refinancing. A permanent loan is long-term (5-25 years), lower rate, and requires the property to be stabilized and cash-flowing. Many deals start with a bridge loan and transition to permanent financing once the business plan is executed.

How much down payment do I need?

Typical down payments range from 10-30% depending on the property type, loan program, and your financial profile. SBA 504 loans can go as low as 10% down for owner-occupied properties. Investment properties generally require 20-30%. Bridge loans may offer higher leverage based on the after-repair value of the property.

Can I finance a hotel or hospitality property?

Absolutely. Hotel financing is one of our specialties. We work with lenders who understand hospitality — RevPAR, ADR, occupancy seasonality, franchise requirements, and PIP (property improvement plan) financing. Whether you're acquiring a flagged property like a Marriott or building a boutique hotel, we have lending partners for it.

Do you finance construction and development?

Yes. We offer construction financing for ground-up development, major renovations, and conversion projects. Construction loans are typically interest-only during the build period with funding drawn in stages as construction milestones are completed. At completion, we help you transition into permanent financing at the best available terms.

What is a DSCR loan?

A DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan qualifies you based on the property's income rather than your personal income. If the property generates enough rental income to cover the loan payments (typically 1.2x or higher), you can qualify regardless of your personal tax returns or employment. DSCR loans are popular with real estate investors who own multiple properties.

Do you handle residential real estate too?

Blackburn Business Capital focuses exclusively on commercial and investment real estate (5+ units). For residential mortgages — including home purchases, refinances, and 1-4 unit investment properties — we refer our clients to our partner, Stairway Mortgage, who specializes in residential lending.
