SBA loans are a popular option because they are backed by federal programs.


SBA loans are small business loans that are backed by federal programs through the Small Business Administration. These government-backed loans can be a popular option for small businesses because they are typically backed by federal programs and offer low-interest rates and longer repayment terms than traditional bank loans. SBA (Small Business Administration) loans are offered by various lenders and the SBA guarantees a certain percentage of your loan when it is approved, which helps significantly reduce your risk as a borrower.



If you need funding or inventory, check out different forms of lending that are suited to your needs and situation.

SBA Standard 7(a) Loan


The 7(a) loan is the most common SBA loan and is the best option when used to purchase commercial real estate. The loan includes financial help for small businesses with special requirements.

Commercial Bridge Loans


Commercial Bridge Loans allow borrowers interim financing during a non-residential property stabilization, which generally requires improvements of the property condition or rental occupancy rate, until permanent take-out financing is achievable.

Asset-Based Loans


Asset-based loans provide borrowers an opportunity to leverage the value of the property as well as other hard assets to secure a loan. There are two property types to consider when applying for an asset-based loan, residential and commercial.

Conventional Loan Programs


Conventional commercial loans tend to be the most straight forward type of commercial loan. They are what you would expect-a commercial mortgage backed by commercial property. The lender is typically a bank, credit union, or other type of investment institution.

1. HOA / Condo Association Loans (Most Common) These are commercial loans made directly to the association, not individual unit owners. Typical uses Roof replacement Structural repairs Painting, paving, elevators, plumbing Insurance-driven or reserve shortfalls Key features No lien on individual units Repaid through monthly assessments Terms: 5–20 years Fixed or adjustable rates Can be structured as: Fully amortizing loan Interest-only period upfront Line of credit for phased projects Underwriting looks at Number of units Owner-occupancy ratio Delinquency rate Budget, reserves, and assessment history No personal guarantees from owners 2. Special Assessment Financing (Owner-Friendly Option) Instead of asking owners to write large checks upfront: The association levies a special assessment Owners can finance their portion monthly Reduces resistance and default risk Keeps unit owners on predictable payments This is especially helpful in senior-heavy or fixed-income communities. 3. Reserve Replenishment Loans If reserves were drained for an emergency repair: Association borrows to rebuild reserves Keeps the condo compliant with lender and insurance requirements Helps protect unit values and marketability 4. Florida-Specific Reality (Important) Given your frequent focus on Florida condos, this resonates strongly right now: New structural integrity & reserve requirements Insurance-driven roof timelines Older associations facing multi-million-dollar projects Financing often prevents forced unit sales or assessment shock Many boards don’t realize financing is even an option until it’s explained clearly. 5. How to Position the Conversation (What to Say) You can frame it simply: “Rather than a large one-time special assessment, the association can finance the project and spread the cost over time—keeping dues manageable and protecting property values.” That line alone opens the door. 6. What Lenders Will Usually Ask For Current budget and balance sheet Reserve study (if available) Insurance certificates Delinquency report Project scope and contractor estimate Bottom Line Condo associations do not have to self-fund roofs or major repairs anymore. Financing: Preserves cash Reduces owner pushback Helps boards stay compliant Protects resale values Tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blog didier malagies nmls#212566 dda mortgage nmls#324329
