Apartments / Multi-Family Dwellings
We provide apartment loans on transactions from $400,000 – $20,000,000 + in all provinces. Most loans are for conventional or government sponsored programs, such as CMHC. We also close apartment bridge loans for borrowers as well.
Currently, with the issues on the commercial secondary market, the government sponsored programs are one of the more reliable sources of capital for apartment loans. We have experts in the CMHC program. Despite the additional layer of underwriting that comes with government supported loans, the programs are strong, with high levels of leverage, and low long term fixed rates.
Apartment Loans
Conventional financing on apartment loans is still an option, and on smaller transaction ($400,000 – $2,000,000) this is often the best area for borrowers to consider. And you may discover that your situation does not fit the strict (and some time quirky) guidelines of the government programs – so you may have no choice other than to find a conventional apartment loan. Borrowers can expect less bureaucracy with underwriting, shorter closing times and lower fees with conventional financing, when compared to government programs.
Borrowers however, should be aware that underwriting standards on conventional financing on apartments have tightened. Loan to value, debt coverage ratios, credit scores, town population, location of the property and the borrowers overall global cash flow will be scrutinized more than you may be use to.
