In the event of a foreclosure, it is also much easier for a commercial lender to handle the renovation, the leasing, and the property management if the commercial property is located close to the commercial lender’s office. **It is MUCH easier to sell a commercial lender on a funding a commercial loan if the property is located close to his office.** But how do you find commercial lenders located close to the commercial property that you are trying to finance?  It’s easy if you use Yahoo Maps. 1. Go to [http://www.maps.yahoo.com](http://www.maps.yahoo.com) 2. Type in the address of the commercial property that you are trying to finance.  This will bring up a map of the area immediately surrounding your property. 3. In the “Find a Business” field, type in the word, “bank”. 4. Little orange icons, representing the location of nearby banks, will appear on your map.  If you hover your cursor over one of the icons, the address and phone number of the bank will appear. 5. Simply call the bank, ask for a commercial real estate loan officer, and then run the deal by him. 6. If none of the nearby banks wants to finance the deal, simply expand your map outwards to see even more banks located slightly further away, until you finally find a home for your deal.   [![Submit Your Loan to 750 Commercial Lenders Using C-Loans.com.  It's Free!](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/9f0b2bed-fb9b-455d-b8be-17d8f7960a2a.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/9f0b2bed-fb9b-455d-b8be-17d8f7960a2a)   [![Click me](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/71f8e27c-2820-42c5-ae3c-3329e127410a.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/71f8e27c-2820-42c5-ae3c-3329e127410a)   [![Click me](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/420746e2-6c74-4c6f-ac0c-b5af90a75c0d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/420746e2-6c74-4c6f-ac0c-b5af90a75c0d)   [![Click me](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/923a1f88-8e4b-48f6-a295-c1a51150dd74.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/923a1f88-8e4b-48f6-a295-c1a51150dd74)   [![Free List of 200 Commercial Lenders](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/3da67ca8-0ae4-4537-a365-87388c9287a1.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/3da67ca8-0ae4-4537-a365-87388c9287a1)   [![Click me](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/f22d1c2f-4836-4822-85d8-ac6d86ebee13.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/f22d1c2f-4836-4822-85d8-ac6d86ebee13)   [![Click me](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/84726c5c-2190-41e8-b3bc-2f9550f7b06e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/84726c5c-2190-41e8-b3bc-2f9550f7b06e)   [![Click me](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/569c376d-5238-4ae4-9f37-48adcc5773b1.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/569c376d-5238-4ae4-9f37-48adcc5773b1)   [![Click me](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/4ddbff3c-6b01-49fe-9dc7-d6fadd85a1d3.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/4ddbff3c-6b01-49fe-9dc7-d6fadd85a1d3)   [![Put a Link on Your Site To Earn Huge Referral Fees](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/408565e5-2ca6-4534-9aed-a96079476dc7.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/408565e5-2ca6-4534-9aed-a96079476dc7)   [![Nine-Hour Video Training Course How to Broker Commercial Loans](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/2fa994cb-f6ac-4671-821f-b4bd48cb5f1f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/2fa994cb-f6ac-4671-821f-b4bd48cb5f1f)   [![Fee Agreement and Fee Collection Course.
