About Mezzanine Loans in Nevada

Mezzanine financing sits between senior debt and equity in the capital stack. It allows borrowers to increase leverage beyond what a first mortgage provides, reducing the equity needed for a deal. Secured by a pledge of the borrower's ownership interest rather than a lien on the property. In Nevada, 8 lenders currently offer Mezzanine financing with loan amounts from $1M to $100M and rates typically ranging from 10% - 18%.

Nevada Market Overview

Nevada has diversified significantly beyond gaming, with the Las Vegas and Reno metros attracting major technology and logistics operations including Tesla's Gigafactory. The state's lack of income tax and pro-business regulatory environment drive corporate relocations.

Nevada has no state income tax, corporate income tax, or franchise tax, making it one of the most tax-friendly environments for CRE investors and business tenants. The state's partial abatement programs for data centers, manufacturing, and logistics operations can reduce property taxes, sales taxes, and payroll taxes for qualifying facilities. Las Vegas's industrial market has seen explosive growth from e-commerce distribution, but the Southern Nevada Water Authority's strict water allocation policies can limit certain types of commercial development.

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.
