In spite of having a top notch credit score for two decades, a strong self-employed job for two years next month, a two-income family, and a renter of half our building with the other half being rented in a month or two….I’ve been unable to find any local bank (or even a local "national" bank) willing to refinance so my sis and I can get away from an 8.5 per cent interest mortgage.

HERE’S MY QUESTION: are there ANY banks out there who are less stupid than the ones I’ve gone to and who ARE refinancing and WANT my money??? Can you name them to me? How can I find them without going through ALL the paperwork and time, only to be turned down over and over for one ridiculous reason after another?

PLEASE NOTE: I’m not asking why banks don’t refinance right now. I’ve heard those excuses. I’m just asking if ANY are refinancing commercial loans. lol .
I have no idea what the first answer below is talking about. I didn’t ask if I qualify for a commercial loan. I already HAVE a commercial loan. And getting a "straw buyer" seems like a poor idea. I’m just wanting to know if ANY banks are refinancing commercial loans for low-risk folks like myself, and HOW do I find them??

I have a business credit card that I use for personal expenses. I am going to discontinue doing this at the advise of my credit card company (Chase). However, I recently decided to increase my credit line from ,500 to ,000 for no reason really. They declined it and sent me a letter stating that they received their information from Experian. The letter’s tone is negative overall.

Will their declining of my credit line increase request negatively affect my credit score? Keep in mind that it is a business card.

Thanks.

Do credit bureaus differentiate between personal and small business credit scores? If so, does building up a small business credit score encompass the same practices as building personal credit? If one has a personal card with a particular creditor, then open a small business, would that creditor use any of their payment history/credit lines as some sort of a guide to extend small business credit? TIA.

I have a very high credit score (770) and want to secure as much business line of credit as possible. I would take a million if they would give it. Problem is of course gross income. I don’t mind being personally responsible but is it legal to apply for say 5 50k lines of credit on the same day and get them within the next week or so.

Personal bankruptcy has been suggested by friends. what are the consequences of personal bankruptcy? I am so very worried. Is there a nicer resolution for this? My credit score is very good right now.

After 8 long years in this relationship it finally ended after so many infidelity problems, unfortunatly the loan still stands. I got it for him to help him with his buisness and to help the family because my credit score was slightly better than his.

I moved a state away and have dealt with the worst custody battle ever the last year and with all the stuff I had to deal with I put this 100K loan on the backburner. Custody has been a priority all year. Now that most things have been resolved I have this loan that I don’t know what to do about. Its a revolving Suntrust equity loan and it was for 10 years and 2 years have passed since I had it done. I really want this taken care of it erks me so bad to see 150K in cars in his driveway and several buisnesses and commercial property and the house itself is in his name and I walked away with nothing but a loan in my name.

Please help

I am looking for a hard money loan to purchase inventory and to rent a kiosk in the mall for the holidays for my business. I have tried the banks and they say my credit score isn’t high enough or they would like to see more cash flow. I have high margin inventory as much as 80% profit margin, so I can turn the inventory quickly. Just looking for a company that will lend the money quickly. Please only legitimate answers.

I’m interested in a multi-family apartment complex (5+ units). Assuming all of the other lender specifics are met (i.e. the debt service coverage ratio). Do they look at the borrowers personal debt and compare that to the down payment, or do they not care as long as the borrowers credit score is high enough? Thanks!
I’m not concerned about whether or not I can get approved for the personal loan. I’m interested in whether or not, if all other commercial lending criteria are met, the commercial lender would approve the loan with the down payment financed through a personal loan.

Most lenders require hard money loans to be in a city based area. I have found a gold mine property worth twice as much as asking price. Our credit score is in the 500’s.

I need a car, but i don’t have the money to do this right now. Also i heard that financing builds your credit up which is something i am interested in doing because while apartment hunting for 8months my credit score dropped from people running it constantly. Any advise?
I don’t want anything fancy or large, just simple and reliable.

At what point in a 30-year mortgage does it make sense to refinance? Is a refi based on equity in the house or is it based on another factor? After a br, when is the time to refi? What credit score is minimum to refi? Mine is over 650. Also, my property has increased in value, there’s new construction, both commercial and residential, near my house and the football field.
I ask because one banker told me to wait until I owned a quarter of the house in equity. Is that accurate?
Thank you.

The loan is for some multi-family/mixed use apartments. Need a loan for ,000 for the down payment or some place where i can get a commercial loan with no money down. I was thinking a bridge loan but not real sure. I have a retail credit score of 645 and two other properties.

Once I rennovate it will have rentable apts, and a store. What is the best type of loan to get for such an endeavor? Would a home equity loan be the right one to seek? My credit score is a little above 700. What banks are easiest to obtain loans from?

I have a start-up business. I haven’t sold or bought anything, due to the fact I don’t have any start-up funds. I have never used a credit card so I have no clue what my credit score is or even if i have one. I need a line of credit of at least 0,000. I don’t have anything to use as collateral except stock in my company. Where can I get a line of credit that my business would qualify for? And yes I do have a business plan.
My business plan has down a Line of Credit as the source of start-up funds and/or investors i.e. selling shares of the company. But regardless I need at least 0,000 to start it up.
I live in Idaho. Hopefully that covers enough informationwithout me having to make to many "Add details" hehe.

I filed for bankruptcy two and a half years ago after getting divorced. I am now trying to buy an existing bar/grill. All the lenders I spoke to will not loan to me till after my bankruptcy is off my credit report(another 7 1/2 years), even though my credit score is average, I have money down, collateral, cosigner and would have equity in the business property.
Does anyone know somewhere that would consider giving me funding???

I am currently trying to refinance one of my properties.The problem is that my credit score plumitted because I am behind on payments(I have a variable interest rate & noone is currently renting my home).My payment keeps going up & I'm afraid I won't catch up!!!They tell me because of my score I would only qualify for a hard money loan & on top of that I cannot cash out.I've heard these loans are VERY high risk.Are they trying to srew my over.What do I do??My payment keeps going up,I need to cash out so I can pay for backed up bills.They tell me the only program that can give me a low monthly payment that is fixed is Option 1.Please give me your opinion.Thanks people I appreciate the help!!
I saw that one of you said to have someone else go into the loan with me & I have already tried that.My mom has a fico score in low 800's & even that way the bank's keep telling me that they will use MY score over hers.They tell me that they HAVE TO use the lowest score.So that doesn't work for my either.

I am looking to start a bar in Chicago, IL and I know the building that I want to acquire. I have a partner who is able to put 0-400K into the project but the building itself will cost between 0K-M to acquire and will require anywhere from 0K-200K to restore and convert. I would like to know the best place to go for a commercial real estate loan keeping in mind the significant funding we already have. I would like to limit the down payment to about 0-150K to keep the rest available for the bar itself. As a side note my personal credit score isn't fantastic (about 630). Also, the building is not currently a bar but an old theater so it will require remodeling, however they do hold a liquor license so it is properly zoned.

Thanks!

Does a person's credit score really matter if they are taking out a hard money loan to rehab a house and quickly sell for a profit?
