What is a multifamily loan?
A multifamily loan is a mortgage on a residential building with five or more units, such as an apartment building, or on a mixed-use building that combines apartments with shops or offices. Buildings with one to four units are financed as rental property instead. Ours are private money loans qualified on the building's rents and operating statements rather than on your personal income, with rates from 6.875%, up to 75% of the building's value, and 5/1, 7/1 and 10/1 adjustable-rate terms.
Investors use them to buy a building, to refinance one they own, or to fund a value-add plan: buy a building with vacancies or deferred repairs, improve it, raise the rents, and hold it. Files are reviewed in as little as 24 to 48 hours and a closing takes about 14 business days. For a building that is not yet ready for long-term financing, a bridge loan can carry it there first.
