We start from the basic reality that *all* commercial real estate loans have at least one black hair.   There is no such thing as a perfect commercial real estate loan.

Okay, now what?  Do you give up on ABC Bank?  Absolutely not!  Simply call a different commercial loan officer at ABC Bank, ideally one in a different branch.  And this time, don’t be a dummy.  Ask him first if this is a good time to discuss a commercial loan.
