FAQs

What is a CMBS loan?

A CMBS (Commercial Mortgage-Backed Security) loan is a commercial mortgage bundled with other loans and sold to investors. This helps lenders offer better rates and gives borrowers more financing options.

How do interest rates affect CRE financing?

Rising interest rates increase borrowing costs, leading to reduced loan amounts and lower property values as cap rates rise. Conversely, falling interest rates lower borrowing costs, support larger loans, compress cap rates, and raise property values.

How long does the CRE debt financing process take?

Stabilized properties typically take 30–60 days from a signed term sheet to funding. Construction loans, bridge loans, large portfolio deals, or highly structured transactions (e.g., mezzanine + preferred equity) usually require 60–120 days due to additional due diligence.

What is a bridge loan?

A bridge loan is a short-term, floating-rate loan (usually 1–3 years) used to “bridge” the gap between an immediate capital need and a future long-term financing solution (take-out loan, sale, or stabilization). It’s the go-to tool when you need a quick solution and the property or situation doesn’t yet qualify for permanent financing.
