What is a real estate non-recourse loan?
A real estate non-recourse loan is a loan secured only by specific real property and is repaid using cash flows (rent income and proceeds from the sale of the property) generated from that collateral property. Even if the borrower fails to perform its debt obligation, the creditor's recovery is limited to the collateral. It generally uses the following structure.
When do you use a real estate non-recourse loan?
- A real estate non-recourse loan is used to satisfy the following customer needs.

What properties can you grant a loan for?
A real estate non-recourse loan can be provided for properties such as offices, residential properties, commercial facilities and premises, hotels, physical distribution facilities, industrial facilities, and healthcare facilities. While we generally grant a loan to a property that is already in operation, we will also consider providing a loan to the development and construction of these properties. A loan can also be granted to a number of properties.
What assessments do you perform?
After hearing the needs of our customer, we conduct our own property assessment to check the location, income and expenditure situation, title, physical conditions, compliance and other issues concerning the property. Based on the valuation we arrive at, we present the terms and conditions including the amount of loan we can offer.
What are the terms and conditions of a loan?
- Loan amount: The minimum loan amount is approximately 1 billion yen, but it can be negotiated.
- Period: The loan period is generally three to five years, although there is room for negotiation.
- Interest rate: There is no uniform standard. We set the interest rate depending on transaction details.
- Security: We create the security right on the target property (including beneficial interest in real properties).
- Guarantee: Not necessary.
- Other: Other conditions generally include covenants on the income and expenditure situation of a property and other benchmarks.
