Colorado Commercial Real Estate Loan FAQ

What types of commercial properties can I finance in Colorado?+
We finance a wide range of commercial properties in Colorado, including multifamily (5+ units), mixed-use buildings, retail centers, office buildings, industrial warehouses, self-storage facilities, and hospitality properties. Each property type has specific underwriting criteria, but our network of 50+ lenders covers virtually every commercial asset class.
What are commercial real estate loan rates in Colorado?+
Commercial real estate loan rates in Colorado typically range from 6% to 12%, depending on the property type, loan-to-value ratio, borrower experience, and deal structure. Stabilized multifamily properties tend to get the lowest rates, while value-add or transitional properties may be on the higher end. Working with Sinai Capital means 50+ lenders compete to offer you the best rate.
What is the minimum loan amount for a commercial loan in Colorado?+
The minimum commercial loan amount we handle in Colorado is $250,000. Our lenders can finance deals up to $50 million. For smaller commercial deals under $250K, a portfolio loan or conventional investment property loan may be a better fit.
What DSCR is required for a commercial loan in Colorado?+
Most commercial lenders in Colorado require a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) of 1.20x, meaning the property's net operating income must be at least 1.20 times the annual debt payments. Some lenders may go as low as 1.0x for strong borrowers or accept interest-only structures that improve cash flow metrics.
Are commercial loans recourse or non-recourse in Colorado?+
Both recourse and non-recourse options are available for commercial properties in Colorado. Non-recourse loans (where the lender can only go after the property, not your personal assets) are common for larger deals, typically $1M+ on stabilized assets. Recourse loans are more common for smaller deals and may offer better rates. Our lenders offer both structures depending on the deal.
How fast can I close on a commercial loan in Colorado?+
Commercial loans in Colorado typically close in 20-45 days depending on the deal complexity, property type, and lender. Bridge and hard money commercial loans can close in as few as 10-14 days for time-sensitive acquisitions. Larger or more complex deals with SBA or CMBS financing may take 60-90 days.
