What is commercial real estate finance?
What is the difference between a mezzanine loan and a traditional commercial mortgage?
Mezzanine loans are typically junior debt that sits behind a first mortgage, and they are used to fill the gap between the borrower's equity and the first mortgage. Traditional commercial mortgages are secured by the property being financed and are typically used to finance the acquisition or refinance of a property.
