Last year we introduced LoopNet Answers (beta), a product to allow the commercial real estate community to share what they know to help each other out. We knew most people come to LoopNet and connect through available properties for sale and lease but why not allow them to connect in other ways? Why not allow members to network and build business relationships? LoopNet Answers is a step towards that.

We're excited to see novices and professionals alike use Answers to give and get advice from their peers about buying, leasing, managing, and valuing commercial real estate. Questions can be answered by multiple members to provide different points of view.

Here are some interesting questions members have asked:

• What is hard money?
• What is a realistic debt coverage ratio that a bank use today in today market in order to secure $6M financing?
• What is considered a good cap rate?
• What is the typical commission percentage paid for sale of commercial property?
