How can mezzanine financing work for your industrial property?
Mezzanine financing is a mechanism for increasing a commercial real estate investor’s leverage on an asset by adding a layer of debt between a first mortgage loan and the owner’s equity. These types of loans place a lender higher on the capital stack than traditional debt.
Mezzanine loans are commonly used for recapitalizations and refinancing when the amount owed on an existing loan is greater than what a conventional lender would offer. This financing is also frequently used to offset costlier investor equity.
