Unique Capital Still Actively Lending
Unique Capital {LLC|Commercial Lending}remains to lend on commercial {real estate|mortgages} despite the recent credit {difficulties|crisis} in the marketplace. With {conventional|standard|correspondent} programs that go up to 75% {LTV|Loan-To-Value} and govnernment SBA / FHA programs exceeding 90% {LTV|Loan-To-Value}, Unique Capital {Commercial Lender|LLC} remains a {firm|strong} source of commercial real estate loans. Apartment, Multifamily, Office, Retail, Industrial, Mixed-use, self-storage and {hotel/motel|hospitality} {financing|lending} is still being {cultivated|delivered}. Even in this tough environment, Unique Capital is actually able to structure SBA 7a and FHA/HUD loans up to 100% depending on the equity and collateral used for financing. A list of programs can be found on the unique-capital website with specific program parameters.
Unique Capital is also involved in the {acquisition|purchasing} of distressed or discounted commercial mortgage notes. Due to a lack of liquidity in the market, many lenders (banks, insurance companies, pension funds, portfolio companies) are having to sell off assets to improve leveraged ratios. With a limited amount of money in the marketplace and an ever growing amount of assets available, the supply is greater than the demand; thus the ability to purchase assets at a {substantial|sizeable} discount.
As regulators and experts through 2007 and the beginning of 2008 advised that the credit crunch would lighten up towards the end of 2008 or early 2009; speculation now arises that the markets may not cool off and adjust properly until 2010 or 2011. Hedge Funds, Private {Equity Groups|Equity Funds} and Private Investors are attempting to {re-liquidate themselves|raise capital} in order to take advantage of near future opportunities. Where the trading of commercial mortgage notes previously that were performing didn't offer heavy yield components, they now do. The uncertainty in the credit markets have {displayed|shown} the possibility of an increased risk in the upcoming months and further discounts on performing as well as distressed {assets|notes}.
Unique Capital's website is designed to give an abundance of information in regards to the commercial lending world, including glossaries, mortgage calculators for multifamily / apartment properties, office properties and retail properties, loan program information and commercial {loan|mortgage} news.
Unique Capital has also chosen a construction partner for renovation projects on acquisitions or financing requests to help facilitate an efficient and reasonably priced scope. Genesis Environmental Construction, www.genesisec.com, is capable of providing renovation, new construction and environmental remediation for commercial properties. This joint-venture helps to ensure that issues don't rise up during the process which could hold the property owner hostage in any {form|capacity} of negotiation.
