About Refinance Loans

A commercial real estate refinance replaces an existing mortgage with a new loan — typically to achieve a lower interest rate, extend the loan term, convert from floating to fixed rate, or access equity built through appreciation or debt paydown. Unlike residential refinancing, commercial refinances are primarily underwritten on the property's income: its DSCR, NOI, occupancy, and asset quality drive terms as much as the borrower's balance sheet.

Refinance structures vary by objective. Rate-and-term refinances reduce cost of capital or reset the amortization clock. Cash-out refinances monetize equity for reinvestment. Bridge-to-perm refinances transition stabilizing assets from short-term floating-rate debt to long-term permanent financing.

Common Reasons to Refinance

  • Loan maturity: your current mortgage is coming due and requires payoff or renewal
  • Rate environment: benchmark rates (SOFR, Treasury) have improved since your last financing
  • Cash-out: you've built equity through appreciation or amortization and want to redeploy capital
  • Bridge conversion: transitioning from a bridge loan to a longer-term, lower-rate permanent structure
  • Debt restructuring: simplifying a complex capital stack or removing personal recourse

Common triggers include loan maturity, a meaningful drop in benchmark rates (SOFR, 5- or 10-year Treasury), a need to access accumulated equity, a desire to convert from floating to fixed rate, or a bridge-to-perm transition on a now-stabilized asset.

A cash-out refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a larger loan and returns the difference to you as cash. Borrowers use it to access equity for property improvements, new acquisitions, or other capital needs. Most lenders cap cash-out proceeds at 70–75% LTV on stabilized assets.

Most commercial lenders require a minimum DSCR of 1.20x to 1.25x for permanent refinancing. Bridge lenders may accept lower coverage ratios — sometimes below 1.0x — on assets with a clear path to stabilization.

Yes, but you need to model the breakeven. Prepayment penalties — step-down, defeasance, or yield maintenance — can be substantial on fixed-rate loans. A Gumption advisor can help you analyze whether the rate savings from a refinance justify the exit cost on your current loan.
