Which of the following is NOT a concern for lenders?

Occupancy rates
Lease terms
Employee satisfaction
Replacement reserve funds

The correct answer is: Employee satisfaction

Lenders focus primarily on factors that influence the financial performance and security of their investments. Occupancy rates are critical because they directly affect rental income; higher occupancy typically leads to more revenue for the property, making it easier for the property owner to meet mortgage obligations. Lease terms are also significant, as they outline the stability and predictability of cash flow; longer leases can provide reassurance to lenders about consistent income. Replacement reserve funds are important as well, since they reflect the property’s maintenance and investment in future repairs. Adequate reserves reassure lenders that the property owner is prepared to address future capital expenditures, which protects the asset’s value. Employee satisfaction, while important for overall operational efficiency, does not have a direct impact on a lender's ability to recoup their investment. Lenders are primarily concerned with financial metrics and property performance rather than the well-being of employees. Thus, this factor does not typically fall within their concerns when evaluating a loan application.
