A 504 project is roughly half bank first mortgage, 45% CDC second and the rest your own money. This is the financed portion, not the whole project.

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 far less often than 7(a) — across the whole programme, 0.84% of dollars against 2.11% for 7(a). Real estate collateral is the reason. 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.
