About Refinance

Refinancing is a strategic way to improve loan terms, access equity, and strengthen your investment position. At Estates of Elysium, we help commercial real estate owners restructure existing debt with flexible private capital—whether to lower payments, avoid balloon maturities, or unlock cash for future projects. Our focus is on long-term value, not just short-term relief.

What We Look for in a Refinance Deal

We focus on the fundamentals to help secure the best possible structure for your refinance:

  1. Net Operating Income (NOI)
    The property's income performance is critical. Strong and steady NOI supports better refinance terms and opens up options like cash-out.

  2. Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)
    Most private lenders look for a DSCR of at least 1.25, showing the property's ability to cover its debt. We also review the full story behind the numbers.

  3. Equity and Property Value
    We assess the value of the asset and how much equity you hold. More equity typically means more leverage.

  4. Exit Strategy
    We want to understand your long-term goals—whether you're planning to hold, sell, or reposition the asset after refinancing.

  5. Existing Loan Terms
    We'll review your current loan structure, maturity timeline, and any balloon payments to determine where we can help improve your position.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Refinance Questions

Q. Can I refinance if my property is underperforming?
A. Yes, depending on the asset and your exit strategy. While strong income helps, we also look at your equity position, market potential, and business plan. Some lenders offer interest-only or bridge refinance options even for distressed assets.

Q. Do I need perfect credit to qualify for private capital refinancing?
A. No. Private capital focuses more on the asset's performance and potential than on personal credit scores. That said, having a clear financial story helps in structuring better terms.

Q. How fast can you close a refinance deal?
A. We can close in as little as 10 to 21 business days once all required documents are submitted. Timelines depend on deal complexity and third-party reports like appraisals.

Q. Can I do a cash-out refinance on a commercial property?
A. Yes, if the income and equity support it. Many of our clients use cash-out refinancing to fund new acquisitions, capital improvements, or pay down higher-interest debt.
