A commercial mortgage refinance can be a good tool for commercial real estate loan borrowers to get cash, tax-free, from their commercial real estate properties.
Financial Compound, and its staff have closed over $5.1 billion in transactions, running the gamut from low leverage first mortgages on trophy assets, to structured debt and equity placements for properties needing renovation, to construction and unentitled land financing. For example, we assembled a 100%-of-all-in-cost investment property loan package (including land, hard and soft improvement costs, interest reserve, and closing costs) for a shopping center developer with minimal pre-leasing. The transaction was crafted so that the developer kept all the upsides after a 7.5% IRR to the financial partner.
