Commercial Real Estate FAQ
People often ask us

A commercial real estate loan is a loan to buy, build or improve income-producing property. Income-producing property includes both property that's leased to a third party and nonresidential property that's occupied by its owner. These loans are made to business entities for business-related purposes.

The biggest difference between a consumer mortgage loan and a commercial real estate loan is how they're used. A mortgage is a loan to help someone finance the cost of a home. A commercial real estate loan is used to invest in a business. Commercial real estate loans also typically have higher rates and shorter terms than mortgage loans.
