Apartment buildings are an excellent type of investment property. They can offer dependable cash flow returns and long-term appreciation. It can be a good investment category for passive investors with well-structured property management. Apartment buildings can also be a significant value-added investment by improving the building and increasing rents for the professional investor and asset syndicator. Compared to commercial properties, apartment building tenants are not specialized, allowing for fewer management limitations so you can concentrate on building your portfolio.
However, apartment buildings can be challenging to finance without the right lender. Many lenders prefer short-term amortization loans, large down payment percentages, strict cash-flow calculations, and restricted geographic locations. Traditional banks often require the borrower to have a sizable net worth with large liquid assets. This can make leveraging your capital and investment portfolio difficult. Many multifamily investment opportunities don't work out if the capital required to improve the property and increase rents immediately after purchasing is not available. Through our broad base of lender relationships, we can access loan programs that provide you with the following flexibility:
Lender relationships throughout California and across the US to reduce geographical restrictions and access the most competitive rates.
Competitive terms include short-term fixed with extension options, amortization for 30 years, and adjustable rates without balloon payments.
Options as low as 20% to allow maximum leverage.
Minimal liquidity requirements allow you to invest capital in other properties in your portfolio and other projects or businesses.
In many cases, minimal business history and experience are acceptable to meet the need to acquire commercial property to accelerate a new business.
Many of our lenders place a far bigger emphasis on property income than on your personal income, allowing us to base your loan approval on positive cashflow from the building.
Building upgrade funds can be included in your purchase loan providing the funding you need from one transaction as opposed to adding fees through multiple refinance transactions.
Financing available for properties ranging from 50MM+
