Mezzanine Loans

 

Mezzanine loans, also called Subordinate Liens, can be a huge leverage advantage for Real Estate Investors who are preserving equity for multiple transactions, or for whom are just short of equity requirements to secure a senior loan that tops out at 65-70% LTV.    Mezzanine loans usually span the gap between senior loans and the equity required and usually take the spot in the capital stack between 60-85% LTV.   These mezzanine loans usually carry a point or two upfront, carry an active interest rates in the neighborhood of 8-11% and a point or two exit, to yield a combined 9-13% to their investors.  

​

Often used in larger value-add, or stabilized property acquisitions, Mezzanine loans can allow Property owners to extend the power of their equity through more leverage.    For example, on a $50 million acquisition, a senior loan from a bank or insurance company may cover only 60-65% LTV, or $30-35 million at a rate of 4-6%.   A mezzanine lender would then come in and supply an additional $15 million at 8-10%, and then the buyer would be responsible for the down payment of $5 -$10 million.   

​

Used properly and prudently mezzanine loans can allow developers and investors to reach higher leveraged returns on their equity, and leave some equity available for their next transaction.
