Refinancing your commercial property in Texas can lower your interest rate, unlock cash, or stabilize your debt. But missteps — poor timing, weak strategy, or rushed decisions — can cost you.
In this guide, we break down:
The best time to refinance commercial property in Texas
Smart refinance strategies for CRE owners
Common refinance mistakes to avoid
How Terrydale Capital helps commercial real estate investors close better, faster, and smarter.
Many investors wait too long to start. But as Terrydale Capital explains, the refinance “open period” often begins 90 to 120 days before loan maturity. That’s your window to act.
If your loan matures in December, most lenders allow early action by September. Terrydale advises borrowers to begin prep in June or July. That means organizing financials, running lender comparisons, and selecting the right strategy.

Lenders move slower in Q4 — delays spike in underwriting and closings
Appraisals, environmental reports, and estoppels take weeks to compile
You want time to negotiate better terms or pivot if the market shifts
Start too late? You lose leverage and may settle for bad terms.
Refinancing isn’t just about getting a lower rate. It’s about aligning your debt with your goals.
Want to extract equity? Terrydale Capital’s cash-out refinance solutions let you free up capital for renovations, acquisitions, or operating reserves.
Example: An investor with a $5M multifamily in Houston refinanced at 65% LTV and pulled out $450,000 for another deal.
If your property needs repositioning — or you’re not ready for a long-term loan — a bridge loan buys time. Terrydale can place fast, flexible bridge debt even on value-add or non-stabilized assets.
Agency lenders (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) offer great rates — but come with tighter underwriting. Terrydale helps you navigate between:
Agency loans for multifamily and stabilized assets
Debt funds or banks for retail, office, or transitional properties
Private money or mezzanine financing if your deal is non-conforming

Most refinance failures aren’t bad assets — they’re bad preparation.
Waiting until the last 30 days — and losing all negotiation leverage
Missing financial docs — like updated rent rolls, trailing 12s, or tax returns
Skipping environmental or appraisal issues until it’s too late
Misunderstanding prepayment penalties or recourse clauses
Overleveraging in a volatile rate environment
Avoid these by using Terrydale’s proven refinance checklist.
