Texas Commercial Mortgage

A Texas commercial mortgage differs from a residential mortgage in a number of ways. For example, instead of using a home as collateral, a commercial mortgage uses a commercial building or property. Another obvious difference is the size of the loan. Typically, a commercial mortgage is far larger than a residential one. Additionally, there are a number of differences in the way a commercial mortgage is paid off.

Commercial mortgages typically require a balloon payment. This means that, although the amortization period may span 20 or 30 years, the borrower will be required to pay off the bulk of the loan within a pre-determined period. Once the balloon is due, the borrower will probably have to refinance her commercial mortgage.

Interest Rates for a Texas Commercial Mortgage

In general, interest rates for a Texas commercial mortgage are slightly higher than for a residential one. Additionally, most commercial mortgages have fixed rates. This is similar to a Texas residential balloon mortgage, where the interest rate is locked for the term, but then changes when it comes time to refinance.
