Mezzanine loans carry higher risk, being repaid after primary lenders but before equity investors. Hence, the rewards are greater too, often yielding a combination of interest and equity upside. So, how do you manage and understand these risks and rewards?ππ
Diving into the middle layer of #CRE financing, we find mezzanine loans - a vital tool for bridging the gap in your capital stack. Imagine you're buying a $10M property. You have $2M in equity and a $6M bank loan, leaving you short of $2M. This is where a mezzanine loan comes in.
Trust your instincts when it comes to #RealEstateInvesting. After all, your intuition is the culmination of all your experiences and knowledge. But remember, intuition isn't a replacement for due diligence. It's a tool to supplement it.
So please use excel for the love of god.
@GRDecter The real question is if rent is understated or if housing prices are overstated. We personally think rental prices are simply unstated based on the past 3 year's inflation rates
How to quickly check a model
- Stabilized yield 200bps+ above market cap rate
- Stabilized price per key below market price per key
- NOI margin at/below market
- DSCR above 1.25x
If all 4 check out, you probably have a very good deal
@EstateRanger Just because financial metrics such as IRR was not used in the past does not mean they are not effective tools today! Highly recommend you facilitate deals on excel π
