Where do you look for commercial loans involving the purchase of real estate?

I'd like to purchase an apartment building. Is this considered a commercial loan and where do you go to find them and what kind of qualifications are necessary? Is it the same as getting a mortgage where you need 20%? Or is it a little different? I don't have many liquid assets but have found a good building?

You need an investment loan. You will need 20-25% for a down payment, but other then that they are like any other loan. The qualifications are the same, there is no such thing as a sub-prime. You also have to have funds to make the payments in the case of no occupancy. You can not use rent from this apartment to secure your loan.
