You really should pay close attention to what I am teaching you here. This is the meat-and-potatoes of commercial real estate finance ("CREF").
Let's suppose you're a starving commercial loan broker, and you can't afford my wonderful nine-hour course, How To Broker Commercial Loans. Maybe you can't even afford to buy the written training manual, Underwriting Commercial Loans. I have good news. You can now access much of this wonderful training for free on C-Loans.com.
C-Loans is slowly making this wonderful training manual available for free online. We covered the first ten chapters in a recent blog article, How To Underwrite Commercial Loans - Part 1. Today's training article continues with Chapters 11 through 20.
Before we get into today's training, I want you consider the absolute cheapest way to receive commercial leads. For just $1,000 per year, you'll receive on average one to five commercial leads per day. Because you pay upfront, all commercial mortgage brokers and lenders qualify to buy leads from CommercialMortgage.com. (Our other portal, C-Loans.com, uses a different model. C-Loans only gets paid when deals close, so any lead buyer has to be rich and pristine.) Do you own a bridge lender? Leads from CommercialMortgage.com are the Deal of the Century.
Chapter 11: As you branch out into commercial real estate finance ("CREF") for the first time, your early loans should be apartment loans. This chapter explains how to prepare a Pro Forma Operating Statement (a budget for the next twelve months, while setting aside reserves for future replacements) on an apartment building.

Chapter 15: One of the hardest Pro Forma Operating Statements that you will ever have to prepare is one where some of the tenants are triple-net tenants, and some of the tenants are full service tenants. This situation occurs when a hot, brand new shopping center opens and leases out on a triple-net basis. Later, as the shopping center ages, new tenants will only sign if the lease is full service. Here's how to handle it.
