Commercial Equity Loans: Three Ways to Pull Cash Out

If you have equity in commercial or investment property and want to get at it, there are three structures. They are priced differently and suit different situations, and picking the wrong one is expensive.

First, the thing people mean but do not say: a "commercial equity loan" is not a HELOC. Revolving home-equity lines are a residential owner-occupied product and generally are not available against commercial or investment property. What you can get is one of the three below — a new first lien, a second lien, or short-term bridge debt. If a lender offers you a true revolving commercial HELOC, read the draw and recall terms carefully before you rely on it.

Cash-out refinance

Most common. One new loan replaces the old one.

You refinance the existing debt and take the difference in cash at closing. One payment, one lien, and on a DSCR loan the qualification is the property's own income rather than your tax returns. This is the right answer for most investors, particularly if the current rate is similar to or above today's.

Choose this when you want the lowest blended cost and do not need to keep a below-market first mortgage.

Second lien / equity loan behind the first

Keeps a good first mortgage in place.

A separate loan sits behind your existing first mortgage, so a low fixed rate you already have stays untouched. Pricing is higher than a first lien because the lender is in second position, and the existing lender's documents must permit it.

Choose this when your first mortgage is materially cheaper than current market and refinancing the whole balance would cost more than the second lien does.

Bridge against equity

Short term, for a deadline.

Interest-only short-term debt secured by the equity, used to close quickly, fund a renovation or cover a gap before a sale or permanent refinance. Priced highest of the three and intended to be repaid, not held.

Choose this only when there is a defined exit and a date. Never take a bridge without knowing what repays it.

What we need, and what we do not

  • No tax returns and no W-2s. On a DSCR loan the property's income carries the debt, so your personal paperwork is not the gate.
  • The rent roll or lease, or a market rent analysis if the property is between tenants.
  • Your estimate of value. We order the appraisal; you do not need one first.
  • Entity documents if title is held in an LLC — which is the normal case and is fine.
  • $100,000 minimum loan amount.

Tell us the property, what you owe and what you want out, and we will tell you which of the three is cheapest for your situation — including when the answer is to leave the existing loan alone. Call 888-727-3057 or use the written quote form.

What Our Borrowers Say

Real Google reviews of our lending team, word for word. We also operate Commercial Loans of Texas, so some reviews name it — same team, same underwriting, same person answering the phone.

★★★★★
“Let me just start by saying that the only reason I give him five stars is because there is no higher. Daniel Peterson is one of the most honest and transparent person I have ever dealt with. Getting me a refinance was not going be easy but right from the start he gave it his all. Just as we would hit bumps he would not give up. He would look for other ways and would always stay motivated to make it happen. Just as I thought that it wasn’t going to get done. He would pull out the rabbit from the hat, as the old saying goes, all the way to the end. If you are ever in need of a refinance or to purchase another home or anything in this field trust me you will not be disappointed with him. I truly say if he can’t do it it’s probably because it cannot be done but if he does he will find a way.”
