“As the leading advocate for private property rights, NAR believes it is critical for Congress to act soon and to get capital flowing to small businesses and to the commercial real estate market,” Jim Helsel, treasurer of the National Association of Realtors, told the House Committee on Financial Services. He explained that raising the SBA loan limits and allowing the SBA 504 loans to be used to refinance property can help ease the liquidity crisis in the commercial sector. He went on to articulate that the NAR strongly supports the H.R. 3380 because it is projected to raise the credit union member business lending cap from 12.25 percent to 25 percent of total assets. Small regional and community banks make up for close to half of the small business loans issued in the United States. Needless to say, available credit unions increase the credit accessible by small businesses.
