@Michael Putman

Have you spoken to any local banks and credit unions? These seem like ideal properties for a local lender. I would reach out to all local banks/credit unions within 45 minutes of your properties, and see what they can offer you. Your terms are not unreasonable. This way you also save on the mortgage broker's fee.

 Hey Michael, 

How many units? You can do up to 80% LTV on a DSCR loan if its 1-4 units.

Anything above that and most commercial lenders are at 65-70% LTV. 80% Could be possible on a bridge loan.

Michael - I agree with Erik. I think most local banks/credit unions have tightened their standards a bit, so I would anticipate a 65-75% LTV from my regional banks with a multifamily property. You never know so it's always worth to call, but wouldn't be surprised if many of them fall within that range. I had a 22 building under LOI assuming 75% LTV, but then I backed out becuase financing was going to be 65-70%. Good Luck!

I would recommend speaking with @Ash Hegde as he is local down here to south FL market.  80% with a 25 year term is more than reasonable. Just be prepared for highish rates at the moment

To answer your question we need to know the number of units. Multifamily to me means more than five units.

Hello Michael,

Depending on your FICO, the units in the property and if the property is (all tenant occupied/mixed use) there are lenders who may be able to do a 80% LTV, 25+ years amortization. That being said, every lender who can do this might be looking for a higher FICO for an 80% LTV
