Bridge Loan
Short-term, floating rate loan to provide "bridge or gap" financing for commercial properties that are being repositioned or are pending a permanent fixed rate financing. Typically, the loans are priced over LIBOR with a one to three year loan term.

Construction Loan
A short-term, floating rate loan to provide construction financing for commercial buildings. Typically, the loans are priced over LIBOR and funded on a monthly basis with a two to three year loan term.

Construction to Permanent Loan
Long-term loan providing a construction loan, which converts to a permanent loan to "takeout" the construction financing. The construction period is funded on a floating rate basis over LIBOR. Upon completion, the interest rate is fixed and priced over a five, seven or ten year period with a coupon interest rate based over the corresponding US Treasury instrument.

Credit Tenant Lease Financing
Short or long-term loan provided to the borrower based upon the credit rating of the tenant occupying the property. Special considerations in the loan structure are granted based upon the risks associated with the credit worthiness of the tenant.

DMBS Structured Financing


Equity
Capital source which provides all or a portion of the equity required to develop or acquire a property.

FHA/FNMA/Freddie Mac
A permanent, non-recourse, fixed rate loan for multi-family properties. Terms range from five to 30 years and are priced over the corresponding US Treasury rate with a 30-year amortization schedule. Typically these transactions are more aggressively priced than a traditional lending source and are based upon a loan-to-value ratio of 80%.

Forward Commitment
A commitment by an institutional lender to provide permanent, fixed rate financing on a future project. The "forward commitment" typically does not exceed 18 months into the future and is priced over the SWAP curve.

Interim Financing
A short-term floating rate loan providing finance during the construction period of the property. The loan term typically does not exceed five years and is priced over LIBOR.

Joint Venture/Equity
Short-term loan to provide the borrower the equity, or a portion of the equity, required to develop a property. The loan is typically priced to generate an internal rate of return ranging between 15% and 25%, dependent upon the risks associated with the equity position.

Mezzanine Financing
A short-term loan, provided behind the existing first mortgage. Total loan proceeds (First mortgage and Mezzanine) typically do not exceed an 85% loan-to-value ratio. However, some capital sources will exceed the 85% loan-to-value ratio, but will price this transaction based upon an equity return. The typical loan term is three years with two, one-year extension options and a one-year lockout provision where the loan cannot be pre-paid. The interest rate is priced over LIBOR and security is usually in the form of a second mortgage or the pledge of partnership interests.

Participating Debt Structure
A short or long-term loan whereby the lending institution, in addition to the traditional source of repayment, will participate in the cash flows generated from the property.

Permanent Loan
A long-term, fixed rate financing, which is non-recourse to the borrower. The loan typically acts as a "take-out" of the existing mortgage or construction financing. The interest rate is priced over the corresponding US Treasury rate. The loan term can be three, five, seven or ten years, with some lenders offering up to 25 years. There is typically a lock-out period of a minimum three years where the loan can not be repaid.
