F.A.Q.s
  • Why Velocity?
  • We solve problems in the beginning to avoid surprises in the end.

    Our team is dedicated to the success and prosperity of our clients and we achieve that by committing ourselves to closing your loan.

    Velocity caters to the small commercial arena by providing small investors with a lending source that fits. DCR issues? Self-employed? Owner-Occupied? No Problem!

    We will help you through the process. We fund several loans regularly through brokers who seldom see commercial deals, and consider themselves residential brokers.

  • Does Velocity accept existing appraisals if one is already done?
  • No, Velocity does not accept existing appraisals. As you'll see in the next FAQ, we handle the appraisal ordering process.

  • Who orders the appraisal?
  • Velocity will handle the ordering of an appraisal. We will assign the job to our base of preferred appraisers in order to attain the best pricing available for your borrower.

  • How do I submit a loan to Velocity?
  • At the top of each Velocity Web page is a "Send Us Your Loan” button that will take you to a quick online application. Complete the application and your personal Account Executive will contact you shortly.

  • I am a borrower seeking a loan for my commercial building. Can Velocity help me?
  • Velocity Commercial Capital is a wholesale direct lender and therefore does not conduct business with borrowers directly. We would be happy to recommend you to a local mortgage broker in your area.

  • Do you lend on land or provide construction financing?
  • No, Velocity provides permanent loans against existing income producing commercial properties.

  • I've been told my property must meet a certain DCR. What is a DCR?
  • DCR or Debt-Coverage-Ratio is a calculation using the income property's annual Net Operating Income or NOI and then divided by the loan's annual debt service to formulate a ratio. Most lenders require a minimum DCR and that minimum varies among property types. For example if a property has a NOI of $25,000 and the loan has a debt service of $20,000, the DCR would be 1.25.

    Ex. 25,000 / 20,000 = 1.25 DCR = 1.25

  • How do I determine a Net Operating Income for my commercial property?
  • This is done by calculating the following Income and Expenses of the property:

    Potential Gross Income
    Plus: Other Income
    Less: Vacancy
    Equals: Effective Gross Income
    Less: Real Estate Taxes
    Operating Expenses
    Equals: Net Operating Income
  • Are you a full recourse lender and what does that mean?
  • Yes…and what that means is that every loan must have a personal guarantor.

  • What’s the deal with environmental? Do I need an environmental inspection report?
  • Velocity will handle this for you! Please fill out our environmental questionnaire found in the forms section of our website.

  • Do you allow subordinate financing?
  • Yes, we do allow CLTV’s up to the max matrix LTV but we do not provide the 2nd or subordinate financing.

  • Can you lend on owner-user properties?
  • Yes, we have a very competitive owner-user program!

  • What is your turnaround time for getting a loan funded?
  • We typically fund loans within 30 to 45 days. Of course getting loans funded quickly involves a combined effort with both broker and lender doing their parts effectively and efficiently.

  • I am a residential broker. Can I do a commercial loan?
  • Yes, of course! Most states, however, require the broker to be licensed in the state where the property is being financed. Please check with the regulatory body in your state.

  • Can a borrower pre-pay their loan?
  • Yes. However, like the vast majority of commercial real estate loans, Velocity loans do contain a prepayment premium.

  • Are Velocity loans assumable?
  • Yes, if the new borrower qualifies.

  • Is Velocity a mortgage broker?
  • We are a direct lender and we securitize all of the loans we originate. Velocity is not a broker.

  • How do I get approved with Velocity?
  • We have a very simple process to get approved. Please see our broker agreement in the forms section of our website.

  • Does VCC finance the purchase of an existing business in the subject property?
  • No, Velocity is a real estate lender and funds loans based upon the value of the underlying real estate. Velocity will fund loans which are owner-operator properties/scenarios, but will not include the value of the business as a part of the financing.
