Life Insurance Company Commercial Mortgage Loan Options
Life Insurance Company Commercial Mortgage Loan Options
(Easier Loan Process than Government or CMBS Loans)
"Lifeco" loans, or loans from life insurance companies, are a type of commercial real estate financing that offer mid to long-term, fixed-rate, and non-recourse options, often with lower rates and longer amortizations than other commercial real estate loans.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Key Features of Lifeco Loans:
- Lifeco loans are typically designed for long-term holding periods, often with terms exceeding 10 years, sometimes up to 15 or 20 years.
- Interest rates are usually fixed at the time of the loan application, providing borrowers with greater certainty and predictability.
- These loans are generally non-recourse, meaning the lender's claim is limited to the property itself, and the borrower's personal assets are not at risk.
- Lifeco loans often have lower interest rates and longer amortization periods compared to other commercial real estate loan types.
- Lifeco loans are commonly used for stabilized, low to mid-leverage properties, including multifamily, industrial, office, self storage, NNN single tenant retail and grocery-anchored retail properties.
- Loan amounts typically start at $1 million and go up to $50,000,000.
- Lenders often require borrowers to have a significant equity stake in the deal, with some looking for at least 20-25% equity.
- Because life co loans are kept on a life insurance company's balance sheet, the borrower only needs to interface with their direct lender for any administration issues.
- Some lifeco loans offer prepayment flexibility, allowing borrowers to repay the loan without incurring penalties.
- Life insurance companies also offer construction-to-permanent programs that lock in rates upfront for both construction and permanent terms, allowing for prepayment flexibility post-lockout/yield maintenance.
