Bank Loans For Apartment Buildings and Commercial Real Estate

All bank loans are not created equal. Banks each have their own niches, especially when you are talking about the differences between community banks, credit unions, regional banks, and national institutions. Some banks offer fully amortizing loans, others cap amortizations at 20 years. Your favorite bank may cap leverage at 70% whereas one right down the street, a bank you never thought twice about, is comfortable financing multifamily properties at 80%.

Maybe you need a floating rate bridge loan, a commercial mortgage with no prepayment penalty like yield maintenance or defeasance. Perhaps you have some documentation constraints. Whatever your individual situation calls for, when it comes to securing bank financing, its crucial to work with an intermediary that has hundreds of banking relationships. An intermediary that can leverage those relationships to your benefit. With the assistance from the right intermediary, its possible to find a perfect bank loan option — that may have been overlooked simply because you qualified for a CMBS, Fannie, or Freddie loan.
