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.
