OOCRE

OOCRE (Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate) is typically a commercial property of one of the following types:
Unimproved land, Multifamily Homes, and Residential Income Homes are not recognized by most banks or lending institutions as OOCRE.
OOCRE is a description utilized to describe the use or utility that the owner will have with the property. Typically an operating entity (Corporations, Partnerships, LLC, etc...) will own the property with the purpose of running business operations out of it or interacting with customers in there.
Financing.
OOCRE is distinct from commercial investment property and is viewed differently. In investment properties, the building generates cash flow that services the debt with banks. The duration, dollar amount, and credit quality of the tenants determine in part a bank's willingness to lend. In OOCRE lending, the cash flow to service the bank debt is typically driven by the cash flow of the underlying business. Therefore, in lieu of reviewing leases, a bank reviews the health of the business through financial analysis.
