Frequently asked
How much down do I need for a commercial property in Ohio?
Most conventional commercial loans require 20–30% down with 5–25 year amortizations and rates 1–2% above residential. SBA 504 loans can drop owner-user down payments to 10% for qualifying buyers and small businesses. We refer to several Lima-area lenders who fund commercial deals regularly.
What's a reasonable cap rate in Lima?
It depends heavily on asset class and tenant quality, but as of 2026 we're generally seeing 7–9% caps on stabilized retail and small office in Lima, 6–8% on net-leased single-tenant properties with credit tenants, and 8–10% on Class B/C multifamily and industrial. We benchmark every deal against current comps before you offer.
Do you help with NNN, value-add, and 1031 exchanges?
Yes — all three. We have buyers actively in 1031 windows looking for replacement property in our market, and we work with qualified intermediaries to keep the timeline clean. For value-add deals we underwrite stabilized rents, capex, and exit cap so you know your IRR going in.
Can I see off-market commercial deals?
Frequently, yes. A lot of Lima commercial inventory trades quietly through local relationships before it ever hits the MLS. If you tell us what you're looking for, we'll plug you into that pipeline.
