A 504 needs two lenders. The CDC arranges the SBA portion, a bank writes the first mortgage. If a CDC has done dozens of deals with a particular bank, that pairing works — which is worth knowing before you go hunting for a first mortgage on your own.

504 loans default a little less often than 7(a) overall — 5.0% of loans against 5.7%. But that edge is mostly a mix effect: 7(a) writes far more of the small loans that fail most, and counted at the same loan size 504 is not clearly safer. Numbers this small move sharply on a handful of loans, so read a single cell with care.
Is 504 right for you?
504 is for owner-occupied real estate and heavy equipment, and it fixes most of your rate for 25 years. The trade is two lenders, two closings and more paperwork than a 7(a).
Other CDCs to consider
Most CDCs lend across several states, so the nearest one is rarely your only option — and rates and service vary.
