Bank Apartment Loan Program

In addition to offering loans from agency lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, we also offer many different bank and portfolio loan programs. While the agency lenders typically have the lowest rates available in the market, many times the borrower would be better off obtaining an apartment building loan from a traditional portfolio lender. Often times, a portfolio product will better serve the needs of the borrower by offering more flexible underwriting and loan terms.  Some of the key advantages to a portfolio or bank loan include:

Flexible underwriting guidelines

Flexible prepayment penalties

Properties that are in need of repairs, maintenance, or updating

Properties in less than desirable markets

Properties in smaller markets

Borrowers with difficulty providing tax returns

Borrowers with past credit issues

Properties with less than stellar cash flow

Borrowers who are not citizens or Green card holders

Mixed-use properties containing commercial income

Properties that house college students in college towns

Loans that require cross collateralization with other properties

HUD contracts, HAP contracts and Section 8 tenants acceptable

Mobile home parks and manufactured housing communities

Purchases where the down payment results from a gift from family members

Loans with long-term amortization and no balloon payments
