Higher Rates Limit Commercial Real Estate Refinancing Proceeds, Lucern Capital Partners Says

• Lucern Capital Partners’ analysis finds higher borrowing costs and debt-service requirements can limit commercial real estate refinancing proceeds despite rising property values.
• Preserving low-cost existing loans may deliver better returns than refinancing unless reinvestment opportunities justify higher borrowing costs.
• Refinancing timing should reflect realized income growth and cash-flow durability rather than projected rents alone.
• Sales may offer better outcomes than additional debt for properties that have reached their operating potential.
