DOWN PAYMENT

Down payment purchase funds must be verified via bank/investment statements. 20% to 30% down is standard for multifamily and 1 to 4-unit residential properties. 25-40% down is common on all CRE properties. In all cases, the required down payment is directly associated by the DSCR based on the proposed interest rate and loan amount.

CUSTOMIZATION

RESERVES

Permanent loans require cash reserves greater or equal to 6-months of mortgage payments.

Permanent Financing

Long-term permanent loans typically have a maturity period of 25 to 30-years. In real estate projects, permanent financing is obtained after completion of construction, rehab, or the property has been leased-up to a point where net operating income supports standard bank debt service requirements. Permanent loans offer lower rates with longer terms, but do required properties to be stabilized, with fair to good credit borrowers. Permanent loans are used to pay-off short-term bridge loans, rehab, and ground-up construction loans.

PURPOSE

Stabilized and unstabilized income producing property purchase and refinance transactions as well as business owner-user properties. Cash-out is available on refinance loans.

What is a Bridge Loan?

A bridge loan is a short-term loan used until a person or company secures permanent financing or removes an existing obligation. This type of financing allows the user to meet current obligations by providing immediate funds and/or cash flow. The loans are short term, typically 1 - 3 years, with relatively high interest rates and are usually backed by some form of collateral, such as real estate or inventory.
