Third Quarter Interest Rates Rising- Sign of the Times
For Real estate loans financing eligible land and building costs, borrowers will have the following interest rate options:
For term loans with a regular amortization;
- Fixed interest rate for the full term of the loan (up to a 15-yr. period), set at the current 10-year treasury yield + 100 basis points. Based on the current 10-year treasury yield, the fixed rate option is 4.0% for the life of the loan.
- Fixed interest rate for a seven (7) year period set at the 10-year treasury yield. After seven years, the rate will reset to the then-current 10-year treasury yield. Please note, the reset rate is limited to a 200 basis point increase/decrease. The reset rate is then fixed for the duration of the loan. Based on the current 10-year treasury yield, the rate for the initial (7) year period is 3.0%.
For 10-year term loans with a 20-year amortization period;
- Fixed interest rate for the full term of the loan (10-yr. period). This option is calculated using the 10-year treasury yield +100 basis points. Based on the current 10-year treasury yield, the fixed rate option is 4.0% for the life of the loan.
- Fixed interest rate for a five (5) year period set at the 10-year treasury yield. After five years, the rate will reset to the then-current 10-year treasury yield. Please note, the reset rate is limited to a 200 basis point increase/decrease. The reset rate is then fixed for the duration of the loan. Based on the current 10-year treasury yield, the rate for the initial (5) year period is 3.0%.
For Equipment loans – 4.0% fixed rate for the full term of the loan.
