What are the benefits for a lender participating in the Guarantee loan program?

The benefits for the lender participating in the guaranteed loan program are:

  • Loans are eligible for a guarantee up to 90 percent

  • Only the unguaranteed portion of a loan counts toward the loan to value ratio required by FDIC

  • The guarantee can be offered to the lender with very flexible security requirements.

  • Guaranteed loans can be combined with the CF direct loan and grant programs in order to reduce the overall interest rate to improve cash flow on a project

  • All CF guarantees are fully marketable in the secondary market

  • All CF loans are counted as Community Reinvestment Act eligible projects

  • Only the unguaranteed amount of a loan counts against the lender's loan limit, based on FDIC rules.

  • Interest rates are determined by the lender and the borrower.

  • For a combination Direct loan and Guaranteed loan, the Direct loan may be subordinate to the Guaranteed loan

  • Recreation loans are now eligible for the CF guaranteed loan program only.
