Payment, DSCR, debt yield, and balloon balance for a commercial real estate loan — sized the way lenders underwrite, not a consumer payment widget.
How a commercial mortgage differs
Commercial loans rarely fully amortize. A loan might amortize over 30 years but carry a 10-year term — leaving a balloon balance due at maturity. Many also include an interest-only period up front, which lowers early payments but leaves more principal outstanding.
Because lenders size to the amortizing payment, that’s the figure we use for DSCR and debt yield — even when the loan pays interest-only at first.
What this means for your deal
A comfortable payment isn’t the same as a financeable one. Enter your NOI to see whether the loan clears typical DSCR and debt-yield thresholds — and use Loan Sizing to find the maximum the asset supports.
