Oklahoma Market Overview

Oklahoma's economy is closely tied to the energy sector but has been diversifying through aerospace, weather technology, and biosciences. Oklahoma City and Tulsa have invested heavily in downtown revitalization, creating new CRE opportunities.

Oklahoma assesses commercial property at 11% of fair market value, one of the lowest ratios in the nation, which keeps effective property tax rates manageable for CRE investors. The state's Quality Jobs Program provides quarterly cash payments to qualifying companies equal to up to 5% of new taxable payroll, incentivizing employment-generating CRE projects. Oklahoma City's MAPS (Metropolitan Area Projects) program, funded by temporary sales taxes, has invested billions in downtown infrastructure and amenities, catalyzing significant private CRE investment in the urban core.

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.
