Been looking into getting a commercial property, and someone mentioned SBA loans as a good route. I've read a bit online, but honestly, it's all kinda confusing. Anyone here gone through the process and can share how it actually went? Like, was it worth the paperwork hassle, or would you recommend something simpler? Just trying to wrap my head around if it's really the best option or if there are better alternatives out there.
Honestly, SBA loans sound great on paper, but have you thought about just going with a local credit union or community bank instead? I haven't done commercial property yet (still recovering from the mountain of paperwork for my first home...ugh), but friends who've gone local said it was way less headache. Maybe worth checking out before diving into SBA-landβunless you secretly love filling out forms and waiting forever for approvals?
