Q:
Five years ago you invested in a brand new 100,000 square foot office building. The building was fully leased to great tenants with 10 year leases. You financed your purchase with a ten year mortgage at a rate that would be considered high in todays market. You can refinance today and get a new ten year loan at a lower rate. You will however be required to pay your current lender a steep prepayment penalty. You can also wait until the loan comes to term and repay the loan without any penalty. This was your plan until you recently read about a brand new office park being discussed for the old farm just a mile down the road. Coincidentally, this development, if built, could open just as your tenant leases are coming up for renewal. What are your thoughts?
