Multifamily Loans

Multifamily Financing Insured By HUD, FHA, Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac

Multifamily loans are our core lending focus at Apartment Financing America. We place multifamily loans that are insured by the nation’s GSE lenders, most commonly known as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA. The principal and interest of the GSE multifamily loans we place is guaranteed by each respective Government Sponsored Enterprise. Because the lender bears only nominal risk, we are able to offer our clients multi family loans at interest rates which are among the lowest in the world.

Because we offer multifamily financing with the extraordinarily low mortgage rates achievable with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA multifamily loans, we can focus our efforts, and more than four decades of multifamily lending expertise, on making your next project more profitable, because making you more successful is our only overarching goal.

When you combine the inherently low mortgage rates of the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA apartment loans we place, our extraordinary commitment to our client’s success and more than four decades of apartment financing expertise, you get multifamily loans with low interest rates, attractive terms, certainty of execution and loan closings with no surprises. In short, precisely the kind of loans that will make your deals, and you, more successful.

Because no situation is ever a mystery, we are always ready to help our clients overcome the countless obstacles that can arise in apartment lending transactions. Regardless of whether you need guidance for particularly complex multifamily financing transactions or strategic advice planning staged apartment acquisition financing, you’ll find we are a very capable strategic partner.

There are so many types of real estate deals and even more commercial loans to finance them, no single lender can expertly serve them all. Even multifamily loans and multifamily mortgage rates come in a variety of shapes and sizes. That’s why we carefully focus our core business on multifamily financing. By focusing our expertise on such a narrow segment of the market, we are able to provide our clients with low rate, multifamily financing solutions.
