Frequently Asked Questions

How is a mixed-use property underwritten?

Mixed-use properties are underwritten based on the blended net operating income from all components — residential rent, commercial rent, and other income. DSCR is calculated on the total NOI relative to debt service. Vacancy and collection loss assumptions apply to each component separately.

What is the typical residential/commercial split for mixed-use eligibility?

Properties with a majority residential income component (50%+) are generally more favorably underwritten under residential-influenced programs. Higher commercial concentrations may require commercial underwriting guidelines. Contact originations to discuss your specific property's income composition.

Can I get a bridge loan for a mixed-use property with vacant commercial space?

Yes. Bridge programs accommodate transitional scenarios where commercial space is vacant or below market occupancy. The loan is structured to the stabilized value with a lease-up plan and defined exit strategy.
