When balancing the cost of debt vs. equity, sometimes layering a second debt piece on top of a lower leverage senior loan becomes necessary. Capital markets today are providing less aggressive senior leverage when it comes to construction debt, particularly non-recourse construction debt.
As such, if you find yourself with a 55% LTC senior loan, it may make sense when in search of bolstered IRRs to layer a piece of mezzanine financing on top of your senior (using either the real estate itself or the shares of the single asset entity as collateral).
