BEP Launches LifeCo Low-Interest Loan Program

Boulder Equity Partners LLC has launched a new LifeCo program, a low-interest, long-term loan for highly qualified borrowers. This loan program offers the most competitive rates available today.

The interest rates for these loans range from 150 – 225 basis points over the corresponding Treasury rate for the chosen term, resulting in a low rate. For example, in Q1 2023, the 10-year T-bill rate is 3.93%.  That places the LifeCo rate at 5.53% – 5.98%.

While banks tend to offer preferred rates for long-term commercial real estate loans, these lenders often require the borrower to make deposits to the bank and to hold those funds over the life of those loans — as much as $100,000 for every $1MM loaned.

LifeCo loans offer longer terms and low rates without requiring borrowers to tie up additional funds.  With interest rates currently set to increase again this year, this may be the right time for a qualified borrower to move into a long-term, low-rate loan.
