Loans to buy your building for a moving company in Metro Detroit

The renewal letter from your landlord in Metro Detroit shows up with a bigger number, a shorter term and a note that the owner might sell. You have built your whole business at this address, and suddenly the place your customers know you by does not feel like yours.

A building loan starts with what you can afford and which program fits. An SBA 504, a 7(a) and a conventional owner-occupied loan each handle down payment and term differently, and the property, your books and your plans get matched to the right lender.

You close on a building with a payment that fits, and the rent check turns into a mortgage on something you own. The space is yours to build out, and the next big decision is about the business, not a landlord's timeline.

Loans to buy your building explained for moving companies in Metro Detroit

SBA 504 for buying your building

The 504 pairs a bank loan with a loan from a certified development company, which often lowers the down payment and fixes the rate on part of the loan for a long term. It is built for owner-occupied real estate, meaning your business uses most of the building. It takes more paperwork, and for many owners it is still the most affordable way in.

What lenders need to finance a commercial building

Lenders look at your business cash flow, credit, down payment, the property's value and condition and how much of it your business will use. Expect an appraisal, an environmental review and title work. Older commercial buildings in Metro Detroit may need extra inspections before a lender signs off.

Lease vs buy for a moving company

Buying builds equity and locks in your location, but it ties up cash and puts repairs on you. Leasing keeps cash in the business and makes moving easier, but rent rises and the landlord controls the future. The right answer depends on how long you plan to stay, your cash and whether the building fits where the business is headed.

What drives the cost of a commercial property loan

The program, rate, term, down payment, appraisal and environmental reports, title, legal and lender fees all add up. SBA loans add guarantee fees but often lower the down payment. We lay out every cost before you commit, tell you how we are paid and quote any file preparation fee after a short call.

How long buying a building takes

Commercial purchases move slower than home purchases because of appraisals, environmental reviews, title and underwriting, and SBA loans add a few more steps. Negotiating enough time in the purchase agreement and starting the loan file the day the offer is accepted keeps the deal on track.

Loans to buy your building questions from Metro Detroit moving companies

How many moving companies are in Metro Detroit?

What is the average Google rating of Metro Detroit moving companies?
5.0 stars, averaged over the 1 with reviews. Half of them have 3 reviews or fewer.
Is Rebuild Detroit a lender?
No. We prepare your file, match you to the right program and introduce you to commercial lenders. The lender makes the credit decision.
What is an owner-occupied loan?
It is financing for a building your business will use for most of its operations, rather than an investment property. Owner-occupied loans, including the SBA 504, often come with better terms than investment property loans.
How much down payment do I need to buy a building?
It depends on the program, the property and your file. SBA programs often require less down than conventional loans, and we show you a realistic range after a look at your numbers.
Can I buy a building that has tenants in it?
Often, yes, as long as your business occupies enough of it to count as owner-occupied under the program. The lender will look at the leases and the space you use.
Can you help me find the building?
Our role is the financing. Through Rebuild Detroit we can connect you with commercial realtors in your area, and we work alongside them through closing.
