Live Interest Rates & Loan Spread Integration
Part of the Cactus Guide series, this page shows how to integrate live interest rate feeds and loan spread data into your underwriting for accurate, real-time financing assumptions.
Cactus’s Live Interest Rates and Loan Spread Integration keeps your commercial real estate underwriting up to date. It automatically pulls daily rate data and lender spreads for 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10-year terms. When you upload deal documents using AI Document Extraction for Real Estate, Cactus provides real-time interest rate updates. It also gives accurate spread assumptions. This information goes directly into your Real Estate Loan Sizing Calculator and Multi-Tier Debt & Seller Financing Modeling. All of this happens without you needing to type anything.
As you explore refinance scenarios in the Refinancing Impact Calculator, these live rates instantly reshape your IRR, DSCR, and cash‑on‑cash returns, and flow through to the Real Estate DCF Analysis Tool for up‑to‑date valuation modeling. Interactive “what‑if” stress tests in the Real Estate Sensitivity Analysis Tool highlight how rate fluctuations impact long‑term hold returns, while your evolving debt data enriches the Real Estate Comps Generator and Real Estate Market Analytics with normalized benchmarks. Cactus combines live market spreads with our Value-Add Scenario Modeling Tool. We also use Custom KPI Tracking for Real Estate Deals. This creates a complete, data-driven refinancing process. It speeds up decision-making and ensures financing discipline with Custom Real Estate Underwriting Templates. This gives you a strong advantage in today’s fast-moving CRE market.
