In order to understand the business of commercial real estate loans, it’s important to note the differences between commercial financing and residential financing. Residential loans focus on single family or perhaps 2 to 4 unit housing.

Commercial real estate loans may not have slightly lower returns, but the investment is more solid. That is particularly important for businesses sitting on more liquid assets than they are comfortable with.

While stockholders and management of the big banks can benefit from taking advantage of this natural working of capitalism, the little guy gets less service and higher costs.
