Sizing a permanent Loan - cap rate spreads

Quick question - when sizing a permanent loan what kind of spread do you typically look for between the perm loan and exit cap? 50-100 above current cap rate trades and then a prediction where they will go for the exit?

Thanks

Have you always had that avi? Love it. Just recently finished reading "The Buyside"

Had it for a while. Not that I should give a shit, but I preferred my prior avatar, which I had cropped from a screenshot of Jonah Hill fucked up on pills in WOWS ... then some fuckstick on here showed up with the exact same thing and accused me of stealing it, so I decided to be the bigger man and change it.

I need to check that book out, it's just that my enthusiasm diminished when I heard that he was just an execution trader and not anything special ... isn't that right?

 

You all are criticizing his question but saying he should size it using LTV. You can't get the V in LTV without a cap rate. I think what he is asking is do cap rates that lenders use to determine their LTV caps for sizing a new loan differ from the cap rates used when a buyer values a property. The answer is yes, lenders are more conservative. I would call a bank.

We use minimum proceeds sized based on dscr, debt yield and LTV covenants for permanent loans
