Sun Belt Core Industrial Permanent Loans ($1M–$10M): Fixed Rates Typically 6.25%

Based on soft-quote and term-sheet loan quotes on core industrial properties (Warehouse/Distribution, Flex Industrial, Manufacturing, and Industrial Outdoor Storage) across Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina, priced as permanent financing with loan amounts between $1,000,000 and $10,000,000, from April through July 2026. Spread-over-index quotes (SOFR, Treasury, or Prime) are resolved to an all-in rate using the current published index rate as of this writing.

Fixed-rate quotes in this pool run from 5.50% to 7.75%, with a median of 6.25%. Floating-rate quotes, presented separately, range from 5.12% to 7.25%, with a median of 6.14%. LTV has a median percentage of 66%, and DSCR requirements run from 1.20x to 1.50x. Of the quotes where recourse type was specified, most carry full recourse, with smaller shares carrying partial or burn-off recourse; separately, most carry personal recourse guarantees rather than non-recourse structures.

Geographically, this pool is concentrated in Texas, with a substantial Atlanta-area cluster in Georgia and a smaller presence in North Carolina.

Amortization schedules most commonly run 25 years, with smaller shares using 20 years or 30 years. An interest-only period is present on a little over a third of these quotes, ranging from 3 to 24 months. The median loan amount for this loan pool is $4,800,000.
