Program Overview

Built with the finished building in mind.

A construction loan only gets you halfway. Once the building is finished and leased, you still need a permanent loan, and that is the loan you will live with for years. We look at both from the beginning, so the project is sized for the finished building, not just the build.

If you already own the land, its equity counts toward the project. Construction funding can cover up to the full vertical budget. When the units are leased, we refinance into a long-term apartment loan, either a 30 year fixed or an interest-only apartment loan.

Typical terms

What you can typically borrow

On 2 to 50+ unit multifamily construction, loan amounts typically range from $500,000 to $10 million plus. Maximum LTV is typically 65% of the as-completed value.

These are typical ranges, not a quote. Final terms depend on the plans, budget, your experience, credit, and market.

Who this is for

Built for owners who plan to hold

This loan is for projects that become long-term rentals, not speculative flips.

1

You are building rentals you plan to keep

The construction loan is a bridge to ownership, not an exit. The permanent loan is part of the plan from day one.

2

You already own the land

Land equity counts toward the project, which can materially cut how much cash you need to bring.

3

You want the permanent loan sized before you break ground

We look at lease-up and the finished building together, so you are not scrambling for a refinance when the last unit is painted.

4

You have built or renovated before

Prior ground-up or major renovation experience is required. Similar project size helps the terms.

Multifamily Construction Questions

Frequently asked

Can I use land I already own?+
Yes. Land you own counts toward your equity in the project, which can significantly reduce the cash you need to bring to closing.
Do I need permits before reaching out?+
No. If you have plans and a budget, we can start looking at the project. Having permits in hand usually improves the terms, but it is not required for a first conversation.
What happens when construction is finished?+
Once the building is leased up, it refinances into a long-term apartment loan, either a 30-year fixed loan or an interest-only apartment loan. We handle that refinance as well, and we plan for it before you break ground.
What experience do I need?+
Prior ground-up or major renovation experience is required, verified with closing statements. Experience with projects of a similar size helps the terms.
How much cash do I need to bring?+
You need enough liquidity to cover your equity and the interest during the build, typically 10% or more of the loan amount. Land you already own can reduce how much cash you put in.
Is the construction loan interest-only?+
Yes. Payments are interest only during construction. You typically pay interest on the drawn balance, not on funds that have not been disbursed yet.
Can you quote the permanent loan before we start building?+
That is the point of this program. We look at construction and the long-term apartment loan together, so the finished building has a clear refinance path instead of a scramble at the end.
