Qualifying for commercial loan modification usually comes down to whether or not your property still shows the ability to be viable with a change to the existing terms.
In other words, if you have a property that has an increased vacancy rate due to the economic downturn, will a modification make the property operable and can you continue to make those new payment?
In some cases, it will make sense. In others, the property may be in a situation where modifying the loan simply won’t make a big enough difference to justify the action.
The following are a couple of things that are important to the qualifying process.
Consultation
The first step is to conduct a consultation about your situation with a loss mitigation professional. It’ll be important to discuss the challenges you face with your property and make a determination of what you can reasonably afford based on your current finances.
There’s a lot of value in speaking with someone about this. Experienced professionals often make a huge difference in securing a good outcome.
Documentation
The lender is going to require a lot of paperwork. Income and expense reports, a business plan, authorizations, bank statements, tax returns and so on are all important to the process. Your lender is going to verify everything you report, so it’s vital to back it up with substantiated evidence.
A professional loan modification firm can make this aspect as simple for you as possible through streamlined processes, but it will be important that you are attentive to requests for information and documentation.
