About Mezzanine Loans in Montana

Secured by a pledge of the borrower's ownership interest rather than a lien on the property. In Montana, 8 lenders currently offer Mezzanine financing with loan amounts from $1M to $100M and rates typically ranging from 10% - 18%.

Montana Market Overview

Montana's economy is growing rapidly, with cities like Bozeman and Missoula attracting remote workers and technology companies. The state's natural beauty drives significant tourism and recreation-related CRE demand.

Montana has no state sales tax, which benefits retail-oriented commercial properties and reduces occupancy costs for tenants. The Bozeman market has seen some of the fastest commercial rent appreciation in the Mountain West, driven by tech worker migration and proximity to Big Sky and Yellowstone. Montana's relatively limited commercial property inventory outside of a few key metros means lenders and investors face thin comparable sales data, which can complicate appraisals and underwriting.

Mezzanine Loans FAQ

How does mezzanine differ from a second mortgage?
A second mortgage is secured by a lien on the property. Mezzanine debt is secured by a pledge of the borrower's ownership interest in the entity that owns the property. This distinction matters for foreclosure — mezzanine lenders can take over the entity via UCC foreclosure, which is faster than mortgage foreclosure.
