Multifamily (5+ Units) (Condo / Townhouse Style, Garden Apartments, Mid-Rise to High-Rise Apartments, Military Housing, Student Housing, Co-Op, Other Apartments)

Multi-family Property
A general property type or building type classification characterized by its usage for multifamily residential purposes. Typical subtypes include: Low-Rise Garden Apartments, Mid-Rise Apartments, High-Rise Apartments, Student Housing, Military Housing, Townhouse style, Co-op, Other.

 

Low-Rise Garden Apts.
A Multifamily subtype; a one-, two- or three-story apartment building or development with 5 or more apartments characterized by a garden-like setting and its location in a town or unincorporated developed area in a close proximity to a city. Suburbs, largely residential, are often dependent on the city for employment and support services; generally characterized by low-density development relative to the city; usually one to three story structures in a suburban or rural-urban fringe development.

Mid Rise Apts.
A Multifamily subtype; a four- or more story apartment building or development; typically elevator-serviced.

 

Townhouse Style
A Multifamily subtype; a one-, two- or three-story apartment dwelling; typically a row house on a small lot which has exterior limits common to other similar units. Title to the unit and its lot is vested in the individual buyer with a fractional interest in common areas, if any.

Student Housing
A Multifamily subtype; a multifamily or multi-unit dwelling primarily occupied by students (e.g. college students).

Student Housing  (Building Info.)
Identifies whether the property is occupied by students. In commercial underwriting, properties that are occupied by students may experience seasonal variations of vacancy and rental income.

Corporate Housing   (Building Info.)
Identifies whether the multifamily property is occupied by corporate tenants. In multifamily underwriting, clauses may be included in leases that allow the tenant to terminate the lease without penalty if and when the tenant is transferred to another location.

Military Housing
A Multifamily subtype; a multifamily or multi-unit dwelling primarily occupied by military personnel; leases often contain a clause which allows the tenant to terminate the lease without penalty if and when the tenant is transferred to another location.

Military Housing  (Building Info.)
Identifies whether the property is occupied by military personnel. In commercial underwriting, properties that are occupied by military personnel may experience variations of vacancy and rental income. In multifamily underwriting, clauses may be included in leases that allow the tenant to terminate the lease without penalty if and when the tenant is transferred to another location. Demographically, areas exhibiting poor occupancies, low rents, plant or military base closings, or low sales may result in lower appraised values.

 

Similar Residential Surrounding Land Use
Identifies the general land use of the surrounding and/or adjacent properties in comparison to the collateral property. Similar Residential includes residential dwellings similar to the collateral property.

Multi-family Property - Class A  (Building Info.)
Properties are above average in terms of design, construction and finish; command the highest rental rates; have a superior location in terms of desirability and/or accessibility; and generally are professionally managed by national or large regional management companies.

Multi-family Property - Class B  (Building Info.)
Properties frequently do not possess design and finish reflective of current standards and preferences; construction is adequate; command average rental rates; generally are well- maintained by national or regional management companies; and unit sizes are usually larger than current standards.

Multi-family Property - Class C  (Building Info.)
Properties provide functional housing; exhibit some level of deferred maintenance; command below average rental rates; usually located in less desirable areas; generally managed by smaller, local property management companies; tenants provide a less stable income stream to property owners than Class A and B tenants.


Lower Scale Residential/Retail Surrounding Land Use
Identifies the general land use of the surrounding and/or adjacent properties in comparison to the collateral property. Lower Scale Retail includes retail properties with a lower-scale use as compared to the collateral property (e.g. a neighborhood strip center would be a lower-scale use as compared to a regional mall).

Commercial mortgage lenders typically require specific loan level data about a property in order to analyze the underwriting risk, prepare a loan quote, and ultimately fund a loan. Mortgage brokers are a primary source of commercial loan originations today. As a result, lenders' expectations regarding the level of reporting, analysis and overall quality of the origination are increasing.

Unfortunately, there are many brokers who can't obtain financing for commercial properties because they use a residential loan application to submit to lenders
- BIG MISTAKE !

See Example Loan Package Extracts

Unlike Residential financing where the Borrower must qualify for the mortgage product; Commercial financing differs whereby the Property must qualify (not the borrower).


How MTG Brokers Corp. Gets You the Best Rate for Your Commercial Property

Commercial mortgage rates are commonly based on the 10-Year US Treasury yield plus a lender Margin/Spread.
 
The interest Rate Index change is based upon market and trading conditions, while spreads are influenced by loan/property factors - primarily Debt Service Coverage and Loan To Value.
 
Property that demonstrates a high DSCR and low LTV will likely command a lower interest rate.  


MTG addresses DSCR/LTV issues via calculations to analyze reserves, fees and other lender underwriting constraints that can impact a properties Net Cash Flow and therefore, the overall interest rate and loan pricing at the time of your loan origination.
 
This is where others fail to obtain you a lender commitment and why we don’t collect any fees until after an offer is submitted by a lender to you “for your approval

(Typically, A National, Regional or Colorado Lender You Know and Trust !)
 


Commonly Required Property Data and Format

While loan submission requirements may vary among lenders, most lenders request the inclusion of the following core loan data:

General property and building description

Current rent roll to reflect lease start/end dates, square footage or unit type, contract rent, rent escalations, reimbursement issues, and estimated market rent

Property income and expense worksheet including calculations for net operating income (NOI) using at least two historical years of income and expense

Calculation and support of normalized net cash flow (NCF) including appropriate reserves based on property type (e.g., vacancy & collection Loss, management, capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs, leasing commission costs (TILC)

Reconciliation of direct capitalized value to purchase price

Loan amount constrained by maximum loan to value (LTV) and debt service coverage ratio (DSCR)
