Great experience!

Well I meet bill back in December 2016 he got recommended by my real estate agent we had a house in sight and started the process to get approved but we fail due to my work history and credit bill told me not to give up and put me in contact with a credit repair company they help me bring my score up and bill walk me thru the process of getting a new line so this time around we got approved before looking for our house after we found it we still had a couple of hick up but with bills help on Sunday 6-18-17 to be exact Father's Day bill called me to give me the great news that we had got approved and the closing date was as scheduled bill was more than just a lender to my family he became a friend and I'm alway going to have him in mind for any other financial situation.

--- Tom Troiano - Atlantic City, NJ



Image

He's nothing short of a miracle!

I'm a self-employed businessman and had him figure out the mortgage of the house after 30% down payment. The interest rates I received were incredibly low given what I had thought of earlier. One other important thing to note was that I hadn't really taken any loans earlier, so I had no credit history. He helped me out with all that as well so I can't really call him anything else but a miracle.



--- Fran Suarez - Cleveland, OH


Image

He's really helpful!

I made a bid to him and the very same day he gave me an offer which I couldn't resist. It was too intimidating with those incredibly low interest rates and all, thoroughly recommend him.

Bill was great!

Bill made us feel like a friend all the way thru the process. He was patient and explained everything he needed clearly. He was available ANYTIME we had questions or needed more information. Hopefully we won’t go thru this process again anytime soon, but if we do - we’d choose Bill! =)


--- Barbra & Nick Grimmer - Austin, TX


Image

Great broker!

Bill was a great broker to work with. As first time home buyers we had many questions about the process, Bill took the time to help us even calling us back on weekends with answers. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a broker to work with.


--- Murray & Lisa Turner - Pensacola, FL


Image

Outstanding service!

I couldn't have been more pleased with Bill's level of service. He made what is typically a lengthy, arduous process far quicker and easier at every turn. I'm extremely comfortable recommending Bill to friends and family, and will definitely utilize his services again!

Jumbo and Non-QM Mortgages: Made Simple

Getting a jumbo or Non-QM mortgage is easier than most people expect. This guide explains what these loans are, who they’re for, and when they make sense.


What Is a Jumbo or Non-QM Loan?

A jumbo mortgage—also called a non-conforming loan—is any mortgage that does not meet the guidelines set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were created by Congress to provide liquidity and stability in the mortgage market. They buy mortgages from lenders, but only if those loans meet strict rules for:

Loan amount

Credit score

Down payment

Debt-to-income ratio

Post-closing reserves

Loans that exceed these limits are considered non-conforming.


When Do You Need a Jumbo Loan?

You’ll need a jumbo loan when the loan amount exceeds the conforming limit in your area.


How Jumbo and Non-QM Loans Are Underwritten

Jumbo loans are evaluated using the same fundamentals as conventional loans:

Credit score

Down payment

Debt-to-income ratio (DTI)

Cash reserves after closing

That said, jumbo loans often allow more flexibility in how those factors are evaluated.

Credit Scores

Most jumbo programs are available with credit scores as low as 660, though higher scores receive better rates. Borrowers with 760+ credit generally receive the most favorable terms.

Cash Reserves

Jumbo loans usually require more reserves than conforming loans.

Typical requirement: 12 months of reserves

Often split between liquid cash and retirement assets

Exceptions may be available with strong income, low DTI, or large down payments.

Where Jumbo Loans Are More Flexible

Higher DTI allowances
While conforming loans often cap DTI around 43%, jumbo loans may allow higher ratios if the borrower has strong reserves or equity.

More logical income analysis
Self-employed borrowers may qualify with one year of tax returns instead of two if they can document business stability and industry experience.

Lower down payments without mortgage insurance
Some jumbo programs allow 10% down—and sometimes less—without mortgage insurance. Rates may be slightly higher, and DTI requirements are typically stricter.

Piggyback loan structures
In certain cases, buyers can combine a first and second mortgage to reduce the down payment to as little as 5%. These structures are highly specialized and lender-specific.


Who Typically Uses Jumbo or Non-QM Loans?

These loans are well-suited for high-income earners who don’t want—or don’t have—their wealth tied up in cash. This group is often referred to as HENRYs: High Earners, Not Rich Yet.

HENRY borrowers often:

Earn $250,000–$500,000+ annually

Have strong credit histories

Hold significant retirement and investment assets

Prefer liquidity over tying up cash in a large down payment


Tax Considerations

Jumbo loans don’t automatically create tax advantages.

Mortgage interest is only deductible on the first $1 million of mortgage debt. If your loan exceeds that amount, the interest on the excess is not deductible.

For this reason, some borrowers choose to compare:

One jumbo loan
vs.

Two smaller loans or alternative structures

Always consult a tax professional before assuming tax benefits.


Choosing the Right Professionals

Buying a home—especially with a jumbo or Non-QM loan—is complex. You should always work with professionals who represent your interests, not just the transaction.

Real Estate Representation

Seller’s agents represent the seller

Buyer’s agents represent the buyer

Transaction brokers represent no one

As a buyer, it’s almost always best to work with a buyer’s agent who has a legal duty to protect your interests.

Mortgage Broker vs. Bank

A mortgage broker typically has access to many lenders, not just one bank’s in-house programs. This often results in:

Better pricing

More flexible loan options

Specialized programs banks may not offer

Even if you like your bank, remember: most banks sell loans shortly after closing anyway. Loyalty should never cost you better terms.


Foreign National Mortgages

You do not need to be a U.S. citizen to qualify for a mortgage.

Eligible Borrowers

Permanent residents (green card holders)

Non-permanent residents with valid work authorization

Refugees or individuals granted asylum

Non-resident foreign buyers may also qualify, but usually with:

Higher down payments (30–50%)

Higher interest rates

Fewer program options

Legal residency and proper documentation are mandatory.


Bank Statement Loans for Self-Employed Borrowers

If you’re self-employed and traditional tax returns don’t reflect your true income, a bank statement mortgage may be the solution.

How They Work

Instead of W-2s or tax returns, lenders use 12–24 months of bank statements to calculate income based on actual deposits.

Ideal For:

Business owners

Independent contractors

Freelancers and gig workers

Borrowers with significant tax write-offs

Trade-Offs

Because these loans are considered Non-QM:

Rates are typically higher

Down payments may be larger

Terms vary widely by lender, so shopping matters.


Final Thought

If you’ve been told “no” by a bank or lender, it doesn’t mean you can’t qualify—it often means you’re speaking with the wrong person.

In real estate and lending, who you work with matters.

🚀 Sale-Leasebacks for Healthcare Owners: Turn Your Medical Real Estate Into Growth Capital 🏥

🏥 Unlock Equity with Healthcare Sale-Leasebacks: A Smart Financing Strategy for Medical Practice Owners 💰

July 03, 20264 min read

🏥 Unlock Equity with Healthcare Sale-Leasebacks: A Smart Financing Strategy for Medical Practice Owners 💰

🚀 Sale-Leasebacks for Healthcare Owners: Turn Your Medical Real Estate Into Growth Capital 🏥


Sale-Leasebacks for Healthcare Owners: Unlock Capital Without Leaving Your Building

For many physicians, dentists, surgery centers, imaging facilities, and other healthcare providers, the real estate beneath their practice represents one of their largest assets. Yet that equity often sits idle while business expansion, equipment purchases, acquisitions, or debt reduction require new capital.

A healthcare sale-leaseback offers an attractive solution.

Rather than borrowing against your property, a sale-leaseback allows you to sell the real estate to an investor while continuing to occupy the building under a long-term lease. You unlock the property's equity without disrupting your operations.

If structured correctly, a sale-leaseback can improve liquidity, strengthen your balance sheet, and provide long-term operational flexibility.


What Is a Healthcare Sale-Leaseback?

A sale-leaseback is a transaction where:

·You sell your medical office or healthcare facility.

·The buyer immediately leases the property back to you.

·Your practice continues operating without interruption.

·You receive cash proceeds at closing.

The property ownership changes—but your patients never notice.


Why Healthcare Properties Are Highly Attractive

Medical real estate has become one of the strongest commercial real estate asset classes because healthcare tenants generally provide:

·Stable occupancy

·Long-term leases

·Recession-resistant demand

·Essential services

·Strong tenant credit

Institutional investors actively seek:

·Medical Office Buildings (MOBs)

·Surgery Centers

·Imaging Centers

·Dental Offices

·Urgent Care Facilities

·Physical Therapy Clinics

·Behavioral Health Centers

·Specialty Medical Facilities


Benefits of a Healthcare Sale-Leaseback

Unlock Millions in Equity

Instead of allowing capital to remain trapped inside real estate, owners can monetize years of appreciation.

The proceeds can be used for:

·Expanding locations

·Hiring physicians

·Purchasing medical equipment

·Paying down debt

·Practice acquisitions

·Retirement planning

·Estate planning


Maintain Operational Control

One of the biggest misconceptions is losing your location.

In reality, your business remains exactly where it is.

Your lease simply replaces ownership while preserving operational continuity.


Potential Tax Advantages

Depending on your situation, lease payments may become deductible business expenses.

Capital gains planning can also create significant tax efficiencies when coordinated with your CPA.


Improve Business Liquidity

Many healthcare businesses have strong balance sheets but limited cash flow flexibility.

A sale-leaseback converts illiquid real estate into working capital without diluting ownership.


Who Should Consider a Sale-Leaseback?

Healthcare owners considering:

✔ Retirement

✔ Succession planning

✔ Multi-location expansion

✔ Practice acquisitions

✔ Equipment modernization

✔ Partner buyouts

✔ Debt restructuring

✔ Growth capital


What Investors Look For

Buyers typically evaluate:

·Lease term (10–20 years)

·Credit strength

·Practice financials

·Building condition

·Tenant improvements

·Market demographics

·Specialty type

·Rent coverage

The stronger the practice, the more competitive investor pricing becomes.


Common Healthcare Property Types

Sale-leasebacks work well for:

·Medical Office Buildings

·Dental Practices

·Orthopedic Centers

·Oncology Centers

·Surgery Centers

·Veterinary Hospitals

·Dialysis Centers

·Behavioral Health Clinics

·Rehabilitation Facilities

·Urgent Care Centers


Common Mistakes to Avoid

Healthcare owners sometimes:

·Wait until capital is urgently needed

·Accept the first investor offer

·Negotiate lease terms improperly

·Overlook rent escalations

·Ignore renewal options

·Fail to compare investor pricing

Working with an experienced capital advisor creates lender and investor competition that often improves valuation while producing more favorable lease terms.


How CommLoan Helps

Through the CommLoan marketplace, healthcare owners gain access to a broad network of institutional buyers, investors, and financing solutions.

Instead of negotiating with one buyer, we help create competitive pricing while structuring lease terms that align with your long-term business goals.

Every practice is unique, and every transaction should be customized accordingly.


Final Thoughts

Healthcare real estate represents more than just a building—it is a strategic financial asset.

If your practice has significant equity tied up in real estate, a sale-leaseback may provide the capital needed to expand, modernize, reduce debt, or prepare for retirement without relocating your business.

Before making a decision, compare multiple investor offers and evaluate both the purchase price and lease structure.

The best transaction isn't always the one with the highest sale price—it's the one that best supports the future of your practice.

Whether you're considering a sale-leaseback, refinancing, or financing your next acquisition, the CommLoan Empower Program can help you compare solutions from hundreds of capital sources to structure the right financing strategy.
