Dear
Business Owner: Consider
the following example as to the saving per year the interest rate can make on a
20-year loan of
$3,720,000.00 at 10% and also at 9 1/2 % interest rate. The total
payments for a 10% loan is $430,789.00 and the total payments for a 9 1/2 %
interest rate loan will be $416,107.00 per year. This is a savings of $14,682.00
per year and over 20 years the savings is $293,640.00. The cost of a one-point
origination fee charged only once for the entire term of the loan is $37,200.00.
This one percent origination fee will be paid in 2 1/2 years; however, the
saving of a 1/2% interest rate over 20 years, even after paying the 1%
origination fee is $256,440.00. The difference in the interest rate of 9 1/2%
and 10 1/2 % is 1 % and with a 20 year amortized loan the saving is $29,569.00
per year, which will pay off the one percent origination fee in only 15 months
and the total saving in this example is
$554,180.00 after paying off the one percent origination fee. Other
terms that banks will charge on a continuous monthly and annual basis can amount
to a half of one percent or more per year. Understanding these costs and
eliminating them is part of my services. References : The
Prime Interest rate has come down this year and may now be going up steadily in
the near future, and tightening credit requirements could create some problems in trying to get
loans and refinancing. Banks will be looking for higher quality loans to hedge
against a slow down in sales, profits and cash flow for repayment of their
loans. As banks become more selective in their loans, because of the above and
become highly loaned up, you may need the knowledge and experience of a
professional loan consultant that works with loans that are sometimes difficult to place with a bank. Since I work
with most all the banks in South Dakota and some banks in other states, it’s
my business to know which banks are loaned up and now looking for a particular
type and quality of loan. Keep in mind that when you go
shopping for loans and interest rates, each bank will be checking your credit
report that will tell them what banks you have already interviewed for the same
loan. This information may not be of real help to you, but rather a detriment. The size of the bank can be of real importance to you, as smaller banks may need to go to correspondent banks for funding of a particular type and size of loan. These correspondent banks may point out potential problems, which could delay approval or get the loan declined. Knowing the right bank to go to is important to getting the right loan for your business. All information and data received is kept confidential.
Being able to get the best financing and interest rate takes time, knowledge and
experience. I will keep all financial data in strict confidence. My work
involves processing and analyzing the loan application to make sure that you
receive the best terms available from any bank. Since I work with all banks, I
have knowledge of each bank's loan limits, its interest rates and terms
available. This will be helpful in getting the loan placed with the right bank.
