Freddie Mac Single-Sponsor Financing  

Smart investors and developers understand that the largest multifamily properties and portfolios often need the most flexible financing terms — and fortunately, Freddie Mac agrees.

Freddie Mac's Single-Sponsor Execution is specifically designed to finance large multifamily properties and portfolios of $250 million and more — and with up to 30 year fixed-rate and up to 10-year floating-rate loan terms, non-recourse execution, and highly competitive interest rates, you'd be hard pressed to find a better option on the market. Plus, Freddie Mac's Single-Sponsor Execution is available for all property types, including Conventional properties, Seniors Housing Developments, Student Housing properties, Targeted Affordable Housing, and Manufactured Housing Communities, and supports eligible mixed-use properties.
