Great question. First off, interest rates are moving up and down very quickly these days, so what I post today could be different tomorrow.

Conventional Lenders - typically mid 6% to mid 7% range if fixed for 5 to 10 years. If floating, typically Prime (currently 8.00%) to Prime plus 1.00%.

SBA Lenders - typically floating between 1.50% to 2.75% over Prime. We are seeing most deals getting done in the 1.75% to 2.50% range.

Non-Bank / Private Lenders / Equity Firms - 10% to 16%, some fixed and some variable.

I hope this helps. If you want anything more specific on a deal you are looking at, we would be happy to assist with that. You can ping me here or directly at redacted

i guess it's also prudent to watch how things play out in the current, fast-moving economic environment. I suspect that the Feds response to current economic conditions/employment numbers downward revision could be substantive.
