WHY REFINANCE

5 Reasons Commercial Property Owners Refinance

Refinancing isn't just about a lower rate. It's about restructuring your loan to match where your business is today.

📉

Lower Your Interest Rate

If rates dropped or your property's value improved, you may qualify for meaningfully better terms today.

💵

Cash-Out Equity

Access capital from your property’s equity to fund expansion, cover TI, or consolidate debt. Up to 75% LTV.

🔄

Balloon Payment Coming

Many CRE loans have 5–7 year balloons. Start the refi process 6–12 months before maturity.

🏦

Exit Hard Money

Hard money at 10–14% served its purpose. Refinance into a bank or SBA loan at 5.5–8%.

📋

Fixed vs Floating

Floating rates expose you to payment volatility. Lock in a fixed rate for 10–25 years of stability.

🏢

Improve DSCR

Better loan structure improves your Debt Service Coverage Ratio, strengthening your profile for future lending.

Advisor Review

Dedicated advisor reviews your situation, identifies the most likely lender routes, and discusses structure options with you directly.

04

Lender Matching & Offers

We match your deal to banks, credit unions, SBA lenders, and private lenders based on property type, geography, LTV, and DSCR.

05

Documentation & Underwriting

Typical docs: rent roll or business financials, 2 years tax returns, property appraisal, title, and existing loan payoff statement.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is commercial real estate refinancing?

CRE refinancing replaces your existing commercial mortgage with a new one — typically to lower your rate, adjust your term, pull out equity, or exit a short-term loan like hard money.

What credit score do I need?

Most lenders prefer 660+. Some community banks and DSCR lenders work with 640+. Stronger DSCR and LTV give lenders more flexibility on credit.

How does DSCR affect my refinance?

DSCR measures whether your property income covers debt payments. Most lenders require 1.20x minimum. A higher DSCR unlocks better rates and higher loan amounts.

How long does it take to close?

Standard CRE refinances close in 30–60 days. SBA 504 may take 60–90 days. Private and bridge loan refinances can close in 2–3 weeks.

Can I refinance a hard money loan into a conventional loan?

Yes. Once your property is stabilized, you can take out the hard money loan with a conventional bank, SBA, or DSCR loan at a much lower rate. This is called a takeout refinance.

What documents do I need?

2 years tax returns, 3–6 months bank statements, rent roll or business P&L, existing loan payoff statement, and a lender-ordered appraisal.
