504 Loans new changes - Part of the new economic stimulus package
- CHANGE 1 - The ½% fee that a bank participating in the 504 loan program has to pay to SBA will be waived. This will be effective until September 30, 2010.
- CHANGE 2 - 1 ½% of the roughly 2 ¼% fees associated with the 504 loan will be waived. Normally in a $1,000,000 project when the 504 portion is $400,000, the actual loan amount is $409,000 (IE: $9,000 in fees are financed into the loan). As a result of this change the fees will be reduced by $6,000 and the borrowers Note amount will now only be $403,000. It effectively reduces the fees financed into a SBA 504 loan to 1/3 of the amount they previously were. This change will remain in effect until September 30, 2010, or until the money appropriated to waive these fees has been exhausted.
- CHANGE 3 - Refinances under 504 were previously ineligible. That has been amended to allow up to 50% of the project cost to be a refinance so long as:
- (A) The new loan involves business expansion.
- (B) It is collateralized by fixed asset s.
- (C) Existing debt incurred for benefit of small business.
- (D) Proceeds used to acquire land, to construct or expand building or to purchase equipment.
- (E) Borrower is current on all payments of existing debt for 1 year.
- (F) New financing will provide better terms or interest rate.
- (G) New financing will be used only for refinancing existing debt, or for costs related to project being financed. This change is a permanent change and will not expire.
- CHANGE 4 - To create liquidity and allow banks to lend, the SBA will guaranty up to $3 billion for 504 first mortgage pools to be sold.
