Seeking Financing for a 10-Unit Apartment Building: Recommendations Needed!

[Jesson George]

I'm in the market to acquire a 10-unit apartment building with a purchase price of $950,000. I find myself in need of a loan or lender who can provide a 25/30-year amortization with a fixed rate for the entire term or maybe with only a 1relock rate. Have any of you recently collaborated with a lender who offers such terms? what are the current interest rates?

Primarily, I'm leaning towards conventional lending, but I'm also considering the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan type. Any insights or experiences with either option would be greatly appreciated.

If you've recently secured financing for a similar project or have recommendations for lenders who specialize in apartment building investments, please share your thoughts below. Your expertise could prove invaluable as I navigate this exciting but complex process.

Hi Jesson - in case you haven't come across this one, here is an article published last year on BiggerPockets on the Multifamily DSCR Loans options which may be good option for you - it breaks down the major differences and the pros/cons of each. Generally, the rate might be higher on DSCR Multifamily but counteracted with a superior 30-year fixed rate (fully amortizing or even IO for 10 years) which can actually have a bigger effect on monthly payment and takes away any balloon or floating rate risk.
