Life insurance companies are looking for the following types of commercial loans:

The commercial loan must be secured by one of these four major groups -  (1) Multifamily; (2) Office; (3) Retail; or (4) Industrial.

The property should be either brand new or in pristine condition.

The property needs to be located in a primary location.  A primary location is one of the very best locations in a gateway city in terms of traffic count, accessibility, and affluence of the neighborhood.  In other words, a lot of Lexus'es, Mercedes, and BMW's need to be driving by.  You will rarely find a life company lending in a city of less than 400,000 residents.

The loan amount must usually exceed $5M.  You will occassionally see life companies making commercial real estate loans as small as $3M, but these small deals are usually made on properties leased on a triple net basis to some incredibly strong tenant, like Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, or some other national credit tenant.  A national credit tenant is a company rated BBB or better by Standard & Poor's.

Life company loans rarely exceed 55% to 58% loan-to-value.  They are designed for deals where the buyer is exchanging into the property with an enormous down payment.
