Rent vs Own

Stop Paying Your Landlord’s Mortgage

Every month you write a rent check, that money disappears. Your landlord builds equity while you build nothing. Lease agreements come with annual rent increases, renewal uncertainty, and zero return on the thousands you spend each year. One lease termination notice can force you to relocate your entire operation.

Owning your commercial property changes everything. Your monthly payment builds equity in an asset your business controls. You lock in predictable costs without worrying about rent hikes. You gain tax advantages through mortgage interest deductions and property depreciation. When your business grows, your property value grows with it. At Inspired Management Consulting, we help business owners make the shift from tenant to owner with commercial mortgage solutions that fit their cash flow and goals.

Owner-Occupied Commercial Mortgages for Small Businesses

Owner-occupied commercial mortgages are designed for business owners who want to buy the property they operate from. You run your shop, warehouse, or office in the building and your business is the primary tenant. Lenders view owner-occupied properties as lower risk because your business success depends on that location. This opens the door to better terms and lower down payment requirements.

Through programs like Business Development Bank of Canada and other high ratio commercial lenders, you can finance your property with as little as 10 to 15 percent down. Some BDC programs offer up to 100 percent financing for qualified borrowers. This means you keep more cash in your business for operations, inventory, and growth.

FAQ’s

A commercial mortgage is a loan secured against a property used for business purposes. This includes retail stores, office buildings, warehouses, industrial facilities, and mixed use properties. The property acts as collateral and repayment comes from business income or rental revenue.

Residential mortgages finance properties where people live. Commercial mortgages finance properties where businesses operate or generate rental income. Commercial loans have stricter approval criteria, shorter terms, and higher down payment requirements. Lenders focus on business cash flow and property income rather than personal income alone.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio measures your ability to cover mortgage payments with business or property income. Lenders calculate DSCR by dividing net operating income by total debt payments. Most lenders require a DSCR of 1.25 or higher meaning your income covers the mortgage payment 1.25 times over.

Net Operating Income is the annual revenue a property generates minus operating expenses. NOI excludes mortgage payments, taxes, and depreciation. Lenders use NOI to calculate DSCR and assess whether the property generates enough income to support the loan.

Capitalization rate measures the expected return on a commercial property investment. Cap rate equals NOI divided by property value. A $100,000 NOI on a $1,000,000 property equals a 10 percent cap rate. Lenders and investors use cap rates to compare properties and assess value.

A Phase 1 ESA evaluates potential environmental contamination on a commercial property. It reviews historical property use, site inspections, and public records. Lenders require Phase 1 reports to ensure the property has no environmental liabilities that could affect its value or their collateral.

Loan to value ratio compares the mortgage amount to the property value. A $750,000 mortgage on a $1,000,000 property equals 75 percent LTV. Lower LTV means less risk for lenders and often results in better interest rates. Owner-occupied properties qualify for higher LTV through BDC programs.

Commercial mortgages in Canada typically have 20 to 25 year amortization periods. The amortization determines your monthly payment amount. Longer amortization lowers payments but increases total interest paid over the life of the loan.

A mixed use property combines commercial and residential space in one building. Common examples include retail on the ground floor with apartments above. Lenders evaluate both commercial income and residential rental revenue when assessing these properties.

Commercial mortgage rates vary by lender, property type, LTV, and borrower profile. A lender rates typically range from prime plus 1 to 3 percent. B lender rates range from 5 to 8 percent. Private commercial lenders charge 8 to 14 percent for higher risk deals.

A blanket mortgage covers multiple commercial properties under one loan. This option suits investors and businesses with multiple locations. Lenders assess the combined value and income of all properties when structuring the loan.

Yes. Land financing is available through B lenders and private commercial lenders. Land loans typically require higher down payments of 35 to 50 percent and shorter terms. Lenders assess your development plans and timeline when approving land financing.

No. We are not a lender. We act as your advisor and facilitate the commercial mortgage process. We assess your business, prepare your application, connect you with the right lender, and support you through due diligence and closing.
