So with the ever present lack of clarity as regards the future, our only advice remains: if you are buying capital assets, fix the rates for as long as you can, and worry less about the financing. Life can provide a wide array of things to worry about.

504 provides: a twenty year fixed rate, for a fully amortizing loan, and a better spread of risk for both lender and borrower. Work better and worry less, working with 504.

We welcome the opportunity to earn your business.
