Understanding Yield Maintenance
Yield maintenance is a prepayment penalty that is typically associated with commercial real estate loans. It is designed to compensate the lender for the loss of interest income that would have been earned if the loan had been held to maturity. The calculation of the yield maintenance amount takes into account the remaining term of the loan, the current market interest rates, and the loan's original interest rate. This penalty is often used to discourage borrowers from refinancing or paying off their loans early.
