I’m trying to pick up a small MF property (12 units) and it seems the recent banking crisis has started a bit of a credit crunch in the commercial lending world… my favorite lender to work with (a really knowledgeable guy at a local credit union) said his underwriters have given instructions to hold off on any new loans for now “to preserve capital in order to strengthen our balance sheets in anticipation of further turmoil”. My usual #2 choice wants 45% down, 7% interest rate which is about equal to the cap rate on this deal (10 year term ammed over 30), my #3 choice said the interest rate would be higher than the cap rate… what’s everybody else hearing from their commercial lenders this week?
I am hearing similar things from lenders in CO. I got an offer that was prime, 1 year lock, 1.25 DSCR, 25% down on a 25 year am.
Last week I talked to the bank that has my paper in Iowa, and they are writing 5 year balloons at 2.5 plus the 5 year(6%), with a 5 year lock, 1.25 DSCR, 25 year am, for 20% down. They are the only non conforming lender I have talked about that showed any enthusiasm recently, and I think that largely had to do with my old LO quitting.

I find this broker posts recent mortgage rates, it's good for me because I use Freddie and they carry that one here. Summary at top but more detail as you page down.
