kicker
A “kicker” in a loan payment refers to an additional benefit or incentive added to a loan that is intended to sweeten the deal for the lender or investor. In real estate, a kicker can involve additional payments or equity shares that the borrower agrees to provide the lender.

This can make the loan more attractive to lenders by offering potential for higher returns.
