Interest Rtes for new 20 year SBA 504 Loans Hit a New Record Low

20-year fixed interest rate on SBA 504 loan projects has hit a new record low, and this is the fourth time it's happened in the last six months. I feel a bit like a broken record. Every time I turn around I'm blogging about this, emailing someone about it, or talking to another financial news outlet about it .

This really is a HUGE deal.

This is the first time the 20-year fixed interest rate on SBA 504 loans has dropped below 5.00% to 4.86%.

The Rest @ Blue MauMau

These loans can be used for comercial property purchases, including energy efficiency refinanaces.
