Mezzanine Debt
For those commercial real estate and other businesses looking to add debt rather than equity when senior debt is maxed out near 70% LTV, borrowers may want to consider mezzanine financing. One of the uses of mezzanine debt is to add as much leverage as possible by increasing LTV to about 75-90%. It is also common for real estate developers to secure mezzanine loans when supplemental financing is needed.

Senior Debt
In the typical capital structure for commercial real estate, senior debt usually accounts for 50-70% of the capital stack. By definition, senior debt is just that. It is senior to equity and all other forms
of mezzanine (junior, subordinated) debt. As such, senior debt stands first in line before all other creditors for interest and principal payments and, in the event of liquidation, the repayment of debt. Most senior debt on commercial real estate is amortized over 15 to 40 years, with interest rates, either fixed or floating. Rates tend to be based on the quality of the collateral involved and the property’s historic cash flow, with higher rates tied to the degree of risk involved
