Excellent Service

Bill is an exceptional loan officer. He helped us to purchase our home with very personal and professional service. He helped us navigate the whole process from start to closing without any problems. We didn't think we're qualified to purchase a house, but Bill went above and beyond to find a way to help us achieve our goal. He always responded very quickly with our requests, he would come back with different options with comparison chart to clearly indicate how much we need for down payment, monthly payments, interest rates, closing costs etc.


We would highly recommend Bill to anyone in need of lending services. In fact, we have already recommended Bill to one of our friends on purchasing a house.

--- 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 very expeditious and made it real easy going through the loan process. I felt he was on top of things.

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!


--- Jim Lipari - Austin, TX

FHA 203 H Loan Product


The Section 203(h) program allows the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to insure mortgages made by qualified lenders to victims of a major disaster who have lost their homes and are in the process of rebuilding or buying another home.


Purpose:


Through Section 203(h), the Federal Government helps victims in Presidentially designated disaster areas recover by making it easier for them to get mortgages and become homeowners or re-establish themselves as homeowners.


Type of Assistance:


This program provides mortgage insurance to protect lenders against the risk of default on mortgages to qualified disaster victims. Individuals are eligible for this program if their homes are located in an area that was designated by the President as a disaster area and if their homes were destroyed or damaged to such an extent that reconstruction or replacement is necessary. Insured mortgages may be used to finance the purchase or reconstruction of a one-family home that will be the principal residence of the homeowner. Like the basic FHA mortgage insurance program it resembles (Section 203(b) Mortgage Insurance for One to Four Family Homes), Section 203(h) offers features that make recovery from a disaster easier for homeowners:


No down payment is required. The borrower is eligible for 100 percent financing. Closing costs and prepaid expenses must be paid by the borrower in cash or paid through premium pricing or by the seller, subject to a 6 percent limitation on seller concessions.


FHA mortgage insurance is not free. Mortgagees collect from the borrowers an up-front insurance premium (which may be financed) at the time of purchase, as well as monthly premiums that are not financed, but instead are added to the regular mortgage payment.


HUD sets limits on the amount that may be insured. To make sure that its programs serve low and moderate income people, FHA sets limits on the dollar value of the mortgage. The current FHA mortgage limit can be viewed online. These figures vary over time and by place, depending on the cost of living and other factors (higher limits also exist for two to four family properties).


Eligible Customers:


Anyone whose home has been destroyed or severely damaged in a Presidentially declared disaster area is eligible to apply for mortgage insurance under this program.


Application:


The borrower's application for mortgage insurance must be submitted to the lender within one year of the President's declaration of the disaster. Applications are made through an FHA approved lending institution, who make their requests through a provision known as "Direct Endorsement," which authorizes them to consider applications without submitting paperwork to HUD. Mortgage insurance processing and administration for this and other FHA single family mortgage insurance products are handled through HUD's Homeownership Centers.

💰 CMBS Loans vs. Bank Loans: When Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities Win 📈

🏢 CMBS Loans Explained: When Securitized Debt Is the Smart Choice for Commercial Real Estate 🚀

🏢 CMBS Loans Explained: When Securitized Debt Is the Smart Choice for Commercial Real Estate 🚀

💰 CMBS Loans vs. Bank Loans: When Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities Win 📈


CMBS Loans: When Securitized Debt Makes Sense for Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate financing isn't one-size-fits-all. While traditional banks remain an excellent financing source for many investors, Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) loans often provide unique advantages for larger, stabilized commercial properties.

If you're purchasing, refinancing, or recapitalizing an income-producing property, understanding when a CMBS loan fits can help you secure better financing while maximizing your investment returns.

At Medallion Funds, we help investors evaluate CMBS financing alongside agency, bank, bridge, life company, and private lending solutions to identify the best capital stack for every transaction.


What Is a CMBS Loan?

A CMBS loan is a commercial mortgage that is pooled together with hundreds of other commercial loans and sold to institutional investors as mortgage-backed securities.

Unlike traditional portfolio lenders that keep loans on their balance sheets, CMBS lenders originate loans specifically for securitization.

This structure often allows borrowers to receive:

·Competitive fixed interest rates

·Longer loan terms

·Higher leverage on qualified assets

·Non-recourse financing

·Attractive debt for stabilized properties


When Does a CMBS Loan Make Sense?

CMBS financing works best when a property has:

Stable Cash Flow

Properties should generally have consistent occupancy and operating history.

Examples include:

·Multifamily

·Office

·Retail centers

·Industrial properties

·Self-storage

·Medical office

·Hospitality (select situations)


Larger Loan Amounts

CMBS lenders typically focus on:

·$2 million+

·$5 million+

·Institutional-quality transactions

The larger the loan, the more competitive CMBS financing often becomes.


Long-Term Ownership

Most CMBS loans include:

·5-, 7-, or 10-year fixed rates

·25-30 year amortization

·Balloon maturity

These loans work well for investors planning long-term ownership rather than quick sales.


Borrowers Seeking Fixed Rates

When interest rate certainty is important, CMBS financing offers predictable debt service that helps investors manage long-term cash flow.


Benefits of CMBS Financing

Lower Interest Rates

Because loans are sold into capital markets, pricing is often highly competitive.


Non-Recourse Financing

Many CMBS loans are non-recourse, meaning borrowers generally are not personally liable beyond standard carve-outs for fraud or bad acts.

This protects personal assets while allowing investors to scale portfolios.


Longer Loan Terms

CMBS loans commonly offer:

·30-year amortization

·10-year fixed rates

·Stable monthly payments


Higher Loan Amounts

Institutional lenders are comfortable financing much larger commercial assets than many regional banks.


National Lending Programs

CMBS lenders finance properties across the country, making them attractive for investors with multi-state portfolios.


Potential Drawbacks

CMBS loans are not perfect for every borrower.

Potential disadvantages include:

Defeasance or Yield Maintenance

Prepaying a CMBS loan before maturity can be expensive.

Investors planning to sell within a few years should carefully evaluate exit costs.


Less Flexibility

Because loans are securitized:

·Loan servicing changes after closing.

·Modifications can be more difficult.

·Extensions require additional approvals.


More Documentation

Borrowers should expect:

·Third-party reports

·Property inspections

·Environmental reviews

·Engineering reports

·Extensive underwriting


Who Should Consider CMBS Financing?

CMBS financing is ideal for:

·Commercial real estate investors

·Apartment owners

·Office investors

·Retail shopping center owners

·Industrial investors

·Self-storage developers

·Medical office investors

·Portfolio owners

·Commercial refinancing

·Acquisition financing


CMBS vs Traditional Bank Loans

CMBS Loans

Traditional Bank Loans

Competitive fixed rates

Variable or shorter fixed periods

Non-recourse options

Usually full recourse

Large loan amounts

Often smaller lending limits

Longer amortization

More flexible relationship lending

Institutional execution

Local banking relationship


Is CMBS Financing Right for You?

If your property is stabilized, produces strong cash flow, and you're seeking long-term, fixed-rate financing, CMBS may provide one of the most competitive financing options available.

However, if flexibility, future refinancing, or a near-term sale is anticipated, a conventional bank loan, agency loan, life company loan, or bridge loan may be a better fit.

Every commercial property is different, which is why choosing the right lending strategy matters.

At Medallion Funds, we work with hundreds of lending sources to help investors identify the financing solution that best aligns with their investment goals—not simply the first loan available.

Whether you're acquiring your next investment property, refinancing an existing asset, or expanding your portfolio, our team can help you evaluate CMBS financing alongside every major commercial lending option.
