Effective November 15, 2024 some significant improvements have been made to the 504 Refinance Programs:
1) Loans being refinanced must have been used to fund a project where at least 75% of the proceeds were used for eligible purposes (previously 85%).
2) With the exception of special purpose properties tied to refinance with expansion, all refinance projects can have an LTV up to 90%. Previously, there was an 85% cap for projects with cash out.
3) The 20% LTV cap for Eligible Business Expenses has been eliminated.
4) Working Capital Lines, Business Credit Cards, and “Other Secured Debt” have been added back to Eligible Business Expenses.
5) The Substantial Benefit Test now requires some improvement in debt service, rather than a 10%+ improvement.
