Cash-Out Refinancing for Commercial Real Estate

Unlock the equity in your stabilized properties to fuel future growth.

What Is Cash-Out Refinancing?

Cash-out refinancing allows property owners to replace their existing loan with a new, larger loan — pulling out equity in the process. The difference between the new loan and the old payoff amount is released as cash, which can be used to reinvest, expand, or strengthen liquidity.

For commercial real estate investors, developers, and business owners, cash-out refinancing is a powerful tool to:

  • Access equity tied up in stabilized properties
  • Reinvest into new acquisitions or developments
  • Pay off higher-cost debt
  • Improve balance sheets and reserves

At Nelson Funding, we structure cash-out refinance loans across multifamily, office, retail, industrial, hospitality, and mixed-use properties — with terms up to 30 years.

Why Choose Cash-Out Refinancing?

Common Use Cases

Loan Highlights

Cash-Out Refinancing vs. Other Options

vs. Standard Refinancing

Standard refi lowers rate/term only.

Cash-out refi provides capital to reinvest.

vs. Bridge Loans

Bridge = short-term, higher cost, fast closings.

Cash-out = long-term, lower cost, equity release.

vs. Selling a Property

Selling creates liquidity but removes the asset.

Cash-out lets you keep the property while still accessing cash.

Example Scenario

Borrower Profile

Multifamily investor in Dallas, TX

Project

180-unit stabilized apartment complex valued at $25M

Challenge

Original bridge loan carried a 10% rate. The investor wanted to lower costs and free up equity to buy a second property.

Solution

Nelson Funding structured a $20M cash-out refinance at 6.5% fixed, 10-year term, non-recourse. $5M in equity was pulled out, which the investor used to acquire a new 120-unit property nearby.

👉 Instead of selling, the investor unlocked equity and expanded their portfolio.

FAQs Bridge Loans

How much equity can I pull out?

Typically up to 65–75% of the property’s current value, depending on lender and asset type.

Multifamily, office, retail, industrial, mixed-use, and hospitality — as long as they’re stabilized.

Once the property reaches stabilized occupancy and income levels, permanent cash-out refinancing is possible.

Both options are available. Many institutional lenders offer non-recourse permanent loans.

Most loans are structured for 5, 7, 10, or up to 30 years.
