Can anyone confirm that the SBA is requiring that a 51% owner -occupant use by a commercial owner? We have a deal with a buyer who is purchasing urban renewal-type property. Much of the one of the adjoining buildings, which is a part of the deal, is vacant and will be used down the road. The property is a steal, and the buyer will immediate have an even cash flow for the time they were tenants, but it just isn't necessary to be using all,of this surplus space.
Hello..... Hope all is well. Yes, 51% needs to be owner-occupied on a SBA Deal. I am a Private Direct Lender and also a Correspondent Lender with South End Capital. We specialize in SBA Loans. If you want to send me details on the deal I see if we can make it work. On most SBA Purchases we are around 80% LTV, borrower would need 20% down. Below is my contact information. Have a good day today.....
