The Property’s Financial Story Matters

Multifamily underwriting extends beyond the borrower’s credit profile. The property’s occupancy, rents, expenses, net operating income, condition, and proposed improvements all help determine available financing.

Providing complete operating information allows us to evaluate the scenario more accurately and identify better-fitting options.

Questions and Answers

Multifamily Financing FAQs

General answers about submitting a multifamily financing request.

What is considered a multifamily property?

For these programs, multifamily generally means an apartment property containing five or more residential units. Certain mixed-use properties may also be considered.

What is the difference between short- and long-term financing?

Short-term financing is generally used for acquisitions, renovations, lease-up, stabilization, or a defined exit. Long-term financing is generally intended for qualifying rental properties with established income and a longer holding strategy.

Can a property needing renovations qualify?

It may. Value-add and renovation programs can consider eligible improvement costs, but available leverage depends on the borrower, property condition, scope of work, experience, and projected value.

Can mixed-use properties qualify?

Selected mixed-use properties may qualify when the property meets the applicable residential-use and lending-partner requirements.

What property documents should I provide?

Helpful documents include the current rent roll, trailing operating statements, leases, property summary, renovation budget, purchase contract, existing loan statement, and recent appraisal if available.

Can you review multifamily new construction?

Yes. Selected multifamily construction scenarios can be reviewed. Plans, permits, entitlements, land status, development budget, construction experience, completed value, and exit strategy will be important.

How quickly can multifamily financing close?

Timing depends on the loan type, property, valuation, documentation, title, borrower readiness, and lending partner. A complete initial submission helps prevent avoidable delays.
