What the Refinancing Page Does

The Refinancing tab is designed to help you determine when, how, and why to refinance an asset β€” with a focus on maximizing IRR and cash-out potential. Whether you have one loan or several, the page guides you through building a clear refinancing scenario using live inputs and smart projections.


How to Use the Refinancing Page

πŸ“‹ Left Side: New Loan Assumptions

This is where you input the variables for your potential refinance:

  • Total loan amount
    ​

  • Interest rate and term structure
    ​

  • Optional: Select which debts to pay off if multiple loans are in place
    ​

  • Set new loan parameters to run tailored refinancing models
    ​
    ​

πŸ“Š Right Side: Debt Calculator + Refinance Analysis

This section automatically evaluates the refinance potential over time:

  • Calculate based on Loan-to-Value (LTV), Minimum DSCR, and Financing Cap Rate
    ​

  • Cactus automatically identifies the optimal year to refinance based on highest IRR
    ​

  • Toggle between chart view and table view to see:
