Direct answer
How this refinance option works
Retail and mixed-use refinancing replaces existing debt on an eligible property using the income and risk of each component. A lender may analyze apartments, storefronts, offices, parking and shared expenses separately before combining the property NOI.
Tenant rollover, options, rent concessions and concentration can influence proceeds even when current occupancy looks strong.
Mixed-use files should identify legal use, unit count, separate utilities, parking and how common expenses are allocated. The dominant use can affect lender eligibility.
For cash-out, the use of proceeds and ownership history should be documented alongside current leases and property performance.
