Flexible Commercial Mortgage Refinance Solutions

Yes. A commercial loan can often be refinanced to replace existing debt with a new loan structure. Borrowers may refinance to reduce payment pressure, access cash-out equity, extend amortization, move from bridge to permanent debt, or improve loan terms. The available options depend on property type, occupancy, income, collateral value, borrower strength, and the repayment path.

Common refinance options include conventional commercial real estate loans, bridge-to-permanent financing, SBA real estate financing for qualifying owner-occupied properties, CMBS loans, DSCR-based investment property loans, and private lender structures. Stirling Capital Group helps compare multiple credit sources rather than limiting borrowers to one bank’s criteria.

A cash-out commercial refinance may be available when the property has sufficient equity, stable value, and a supportable repayment plan. Proceeds can potentially be used for expansion, debt consolidation, tenant improvements, acquisitions, or working capital. Lenders typically review loan-to-value, net operating income, debt service coverage, collateral quality, and borrower experience.

A bank may decline a refinance because of regulatory limits, property transition, insufficient seasoning, tenant concentration, lower DSCR, business volatility, or underwriting policy. Private and specialty lenders may still consider the transaction if the collateral, cash flow, exit strategy, and borrower plan are strong enough to support a customized structure.

Commercial refinance timing varies by lender, asset type, documentation, and transaction complexity. Private bridge or specialty financing can move more quickly for time-sensitive needs, while SBA, CMBS, and permanent financing generally require more underwriting. Preparing rent rolls, financials, payoff statements, appraisals, and entity documents early can help reduce delays.

Lenders commonly request current loan statements, payoff information, property financials, rent rolls, tax returns, borrower financial statements, operating statements, leases, entity documents, and property details. For owner-occupied properties, business financials may also be required. Stirling Capital Group uses pre-qualification and pre-underwriting to match documentation with suitable lender requirements.

Pricing is based on the lender, collateral, leverage, property type, DSCR, borrower profile, loan size, term, and whether the request is conventional, bridge, SBA, CMBS, or private credit. Rather than quote one generic rate, Stirling Capital Group evaluates the transaction and compares suitable lending channels for structure, speed, and flexibility.

Stirling Capital Group supports commercial real estate and investment property transactions across the continental United States, with major Canadian cities and Puerto Rico also considered. The firm works through a network of private, institutional, and specialty lending sources, helping borrowers pursue refinance options across multiple property types and capital situations.
