What is a Commercial Mortgage?

A commercial mortgage is a loan secured by commercial real estate, such as office buildings, retail spaces, warehouses, apartment complexes, or mixed-use properties. Unlike residential mortgages, commercial mortgages are designed for investment properties and business use.

๐Ÿข Key Differences from Residential Mortgages:

  • โ€ขHigher Down Payments: Typically 20-35% vs 3-20% for residential
  • โ€ขShorter Terms: Usually 10-25 years vs 30 years for residential
  • โ€ขHigher Interest Rates: 1-2% above residential mortgage rates
  • โ€ขIncome Requirements: Based on property cash flow, not just personal income

๐Ÿ’ฐ DSCR Requirements Explained

The Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is one of the most critical metrics in commercial mortgage underwriting. It measures the property's ability to generate enough income to cover the mortgage payments.

๐Ÿงฎ DSCR Formula:

DSCR = Net Operating Income รท Annual Debt Service

Example: If a property generates $120,000 in NOI and has $100,000 in annual debt service, the DSCR is 1.20.
