Multifamily Finance

“I just can’t find anybody that is interested in my loan!” He was distraught, frustrated and incredulous as he described how his banking relationship of 15 years had denied his loan. “We’re sorry, multifamily finance is not in our wheelhouse. We like cash deposit accounts, payment card servicing, credit cards … but to do what you’re asking … the regulations ….” He said his personal banker rattled off a plethora of reasons why he couldn’t help.

The reason for this customer’s distress? He had a small balance loan on a multifamily residential property. He needed to refinance, to pull some cash out for repairs and he had his eye on another small complex that was the perfect complement to his already successful complex. The problem was the loan amount was just too small, only $1.5 million, not enough for his bank to get involved.
