Learn the Pros and Cons of Mezzanine Financing from Gelt Financial
Mezzanine financing is a type of capital that is used to finance a variety of different types of commercial real estate projects. Unlike traditional loans, which are secured by the property itself, mezzanine financing is typically structured as a hybrid between debt and equity. This means that it is often secured by the equity in the property, as well as the personal guarantees of the property’s owners.
One of the key benefits of mezzanine financing is that it allows property owners to access additional capital without giving up control of their properties. Because mezzanine financing is structured as a hybrid between debt and equity, lenders do not have the same rights to foreclose on the property as they do with traditional loans.
It’s important to note that mezzanine financing is not without its risks. Because the loan is structured as a hybrid between debt and equity, the lender has the right to convert the loan into equity if the borrower defaults on the loan. This means that property owners who take out mezzanine financing need to be careful to ensure that they are able to make their payments on time and in full.
Overall, mezzanine financing can be a useful tool for commercial real estate investors who are looking to access additional capital without giving up control of their properties. By carefully considering the potential risks and rewards, investors can determine whether mezzanine financing is the right financing option for their specific needs.
