Fixed Rate Loans & Commercial Fixed Rate Mortgages
The traditional fixed rate commercial mortgage is one of many types of commercial loan programs. Monthly principal and interest payments never change during the life of the loan. Fixed rate commercial mortgages are available in terms ranging from 5 to 30 years. This type of mortgage is structured, or “amortized” so that it will be completely paid off by the end of the loan term.
Even though you have a fixed rate mortgage, your monthly payment may vary slightly if you have an “impound account.” In addition to the monthly loan payment, some lenders collect additional money each month for the prorated monthly cost of property taxes and hazard insurance. The extra money is placed in an impound account held by the lender. The lender uses the impound account funds to pay the commercial property borrowers’ property taxes and hazard insurance premium as they come due. If either the property taxes or the hazard insurance premium changes, the borrower’s monthly payment will be adjusted accordingly. However, the principal and interest portion of the fixed rate mortgage payments remain stable and predictable. Who in the financial world doesn’t like stability and predictability?

Testimonials
Ronny was a pleasure to work with and is extremely knowledgeable. His hard work was never ending until the job was done. They handled a complex lease and guided us through entire process, including the paperwork. Not to mention a below market lease rate and more than all the features we needed in a site. We later used Assets America for a unique equipment financing deal where once again Ronny and team exceeded our expectations and our timeline.

Ronny was very friendly and though we were unable to make something happen at the moment he gave me some direction to go.
My business partner and I were looking to purchase a retail shopping center in southern California. We sought out the services of Ronny, CFO of Assets America. Ronny found us several commercial properties which met our desired needs. We chose the property we liked best, and Ronny went to work. He negotiated very aggressively on our behalf. We came to terms with the Seller, entered into a purchase agreement and opened escrow. Additionally, we needed 80 percent financing on our multimillion-dollar purchase. Assets America also handled the commercial loan for us. They were our One-Stop-Shop. They obtained fantastic, low, fixed rate insurance money for us. So, Assets America handled both the sale and the loan for us and successfully closed our escrow within the time frame stated in the purchase agreement. Ronny did and performed exactly as he said he would. Ronny and his company are true professionals. In this day and age, it’s especially rare and wonderful to work with a person who actually does what he says he will do. We recommend them to anyone needing any type of commercial real estate transaction and we further highly recommend them for any type of commercial financing. They were diligent and forthright on both accounts and brought our deal to a successful closing.
