Self-Storage Financing: How Lenders Underwrite Storage Facilities

Self-storage loans finance one of commercial real estate’s most recession-resilient asset classes — low operating expense ratios, sticky tenants, and the ability to reprice rents monthly. Lenders underwrite physical and economic occupancy, the facility’s breakeven occupancy, NOI, and the strength of the management platform, then size the loan on DSCR and debt yield. ⚡ Quick […]

Assisted Living & Senior Housing Financing: EBITDAR, Census & Operator Risk

Senior housing financing sits at the intersection of real estate and healthcare operations, so lenders underwrite the operator as closely as the building. Across independent living, assisted living, and memory care, the metrics that matter are census (occupancy), care-level acuity and rate, payor mix, and EBITDAR — earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and rent […]

Office Building Loans in 2026: How Lenders Underwrite a Repricing Market

Office building loans are the most scrutinized corner of commercial real estate lending in 2026. With hybrid work reshaping demand and a wave of maturities repricing, lenders underwrite office conservatively — focusing on weighted average lease term (WALT), rollover exposure, tenant credit, and the reserves needed for tenant improvements and leasing commissions (TI/LC). Capital is […]

Data Center Conversion Financing: Funding Industrial-to-Data-Center Repositioning

Data center conversion financing funds the repositioning of industrial, warehouse, or obsolete commercial buildings into data centers and powered shells. It is one of the most capital-intensive and specialized plays in commercial real estate — underwritten less on existing rent and more on power availability, the conversion budget, and a credible end user or take-out. […]

Adaptive Reuse Financing: Funding Property Conversions and Change-of-Use Deals

Adaptive reuse financing funds the conversion of a building from one use to another — office to residential, hotel to multifamily, retail to medical or industrial, warehouse to last-mile or data center. These change-of-use repositioning plays create outsized value but carry entitlement, construction, and lease-up risk, so they are financed by private-credit funds, family offices, […]

Family Office & Private Credit Financing for Commercial Real Estate

Private credit real estate financing — capital from family offices, private debt funds, and specialty balance-sheet lenders — has become the primary source of funding for complex commercial deals that banks no longer serve. As regulated lenders pulled back, private credit stepped in with speed, flexibility, and an appetite for the transitional, value-add, and special-situation […]

Hotel & Hospitality Financing: How Lenders Underwrite (RevPAR, ADR, EBITDA)

Hotel financing is the most operationally intensive corner of commercial real estate lending, because a hotel is an operating business as much as a building. Lenders underwrite the income statement — RevPAR, ADR, occupancy, and house-level EBITDA — alongside the flag, the franchise agreement, and any required property improvement plan (PIP). Leverage and pricing reflect […]

Industrial & Warehouse Loans: How Lenders Underwrite Logistics Real Estate

Industrial real estate loans finance warehouse, distribution, last-mile, and light-manufacturing assets — the property type lenders have favored most this cycle. Underwriting centers on the durability of the lease income: tenant credit, weighted average lease term (WALT), the structure of the leases (typically triple-net), and the building’s functional specs, with NOI and DSCR sizing the […]

Mixed-Use Property Loans: How Lenders Underwrite Blended Assets

Mixed-use property loans finance buildings that blend uses — most commonly ground-floor retail or office with apartments above, plus live-work and urban infill formats. Lenders underwrite each component to its own standard and then combine them: residential income is evaluated like multifamily, the commercial income on tenant credit and lease term, with consolidated NOI and […]
