What Are Retail Property Loans?

Retail property loans are commercial real estate loans designed to finance properties leased to businesses such as retailers, restaurants, and service providers.

These loans can fund single-tenant net lease investments or larger shopping centers with multiple tenants.

Typical retail loan structures include:

Retail financing allows investors to manage properties that generate consistent rent from long-term business leases.

Shopping Center Loan Options for Investors

A shopping center loan helps investors acquire or refinance multi-tenant retail properties such as strip centers, plazas, or anchored shopping hubs.

At REIF Loans, we structure financing around your property’s income, lease profile, and market position

Stabilized Shopping Centers

Ideal for properties with established tenants and predictable rental income.

Value-Add or Transitional Centers

Perfect for assets undergoing renovations, re-tenanting, or repositioning for higher market rent.

Bridge to DSCR Programs

Short-term financing to acquire or stabilize a retail property before converting to a long-term DSCR structure.

Portfolio Refinance

Consolidate multiple shopping centers into one efficient loan for simplified management and better leverage.

Single Tenant Net Lease (NNN) Financing Solutions

Single tenant net lease (NNN) investments offer stable, long-term cash flow with minimal management responsibility. REIF Loans provides financing tailored for these properties and their predictable lease structures.

Key Advantages of NNN Loans:

These loans are ideal for properties leased to national brands such as pharmacies, fast food chains, or service retailers.

DSCR Retail Loans and Income-Based Qualification

Our DSCR retail loans prioritize property cash flow and lease performance instead of personal income or tax returns.

Understanding DSCR for Retail Properties

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) = Net Operating Income divided by Annual Loan Payments

For retail financing, a DSCR of 1.25x or higher is typically required, showing that the property earns at least 25% more than its debt obligations.
