Frequently Asked Questions
How is multi-family financing different from single-family investment loans?
Two-to-four unit properties typically qualify for residential hard money with terms similar to single-family investment loans. Five-plus unit properties require commercial hard money with more extensive underwriting including lease roll analysis, financial statement review, and property-level income evaluation. Multi-family loans place greater emphasis on property cash flow and DSCR relative to single-family loans, and may offer higher leverage for well-performing properties with strong income documentation.
How do you evaluate mixed STR and LTR income for multi-family underwriting?
We evaluate each income stream separately and combine them. STR income is documented from platform reports for established rentals or from comparable STR data for new acquisitions. Long-term lease income is documented from signed leases. We apply realistic seasonal occupancy factors for STR units and standard vacancy allowances for LTR units. The combined income is tested against total debt service to evaluate DSCR. We don't apply blanket haircuts that fail to distinguish between a well-documented Rehoboth Beach STR and a speculative income projection.
Can I get a multi-family loan for a property with significant vacancies?
Yes. Value-add multi-family properties with current vacancy are a regular part of our loan portfolio. We evaluate the renovation and lease-up plan, include interest reserves for the stabilization period, and base loan amounts on after-repair stabilized value rather than current distressed performance. Lower leverage ratios typically apply to properties with significant vacancy to reflect the stabilization risk.
What DSCR do you require for multi-family hard money loans?
For stabilized properties with documented income, we typically require 1.15 to 1.25x DSCR. For value-add properties, we may use projected stabilized income and accept lower current DSCR when the renovation business plan credibly supports reaching target occupancy and income within the loan term. We evaluate stabilized income projections conservatively — not the best-case scenario for what the property could theoretically generate.
Can renovation funds be included in multi-family hard money loans?
Yes. Multi-family renovation loans include acquisition funding at closing and renovation funds held in escrow and released through a draw schedule as work is completed and inspected. Loan amounts are typically based on after-repair value. This structure allows investors to finance the full value-creation cycle — acquisition of underperforming property, renovation to market standards, lease-up to target occupancy — in a single loan facility.
