Feel free to message me for a comparison between SBA and non-SBA options. If you're a first-time searcher with limited equity, SBA will likely be your best option for the sub $5 million loan size.

My only comment is the Personal Guarantee requirement on SBA Loans is a big deal and one must understand what that means for you/spouse!
