What Are Apartment Building Loans?

Apartment building loans are specialized financing products used to acquire, refinance, renovate, or develop multifamily properties. These loans are tailored for investors, owner-operators, and real estate groups seeking long-term rental income and stabilized returns from multifamily assets.

Apartment building loans vary significantly depending on leverage, asset quality, sponsorship strength, and business plan. Common loan structures include fixed-rate, floating-rate, interest-only, non-recourse, bridge, and construction financing.

Commercial Apartment Building Loans dilemmas: some real client case studies resolved by us.

Case Study 1 – A cash out scenario

A multifamily corporation in Minnesota sought liquidity from a stabilized apartment property held for 10+ years. Following significant appreciation, we arranged a refinance with competitive fixed terms, amortization, and no personal guarantee. Proceeds enabled the investor to redeploy capital into a new acquisition.

Case Study 2 – Speed, speed, and more speed

A partnership required a fast execution to acquire a multifamily property in Chicago under a 30-day closing requirement. We secured a bridge loan that closed within two weeks, preserving the earnest money and acquisition opportunity with efficient upfront costs and no punitive prepayment structure.

Case Study 3 – Conversion opportunity

A Delaware corporation owning majority condo units sought financing to acquire remaining units and convert the asset into a unified rental building. We structured a multifamily loan recognizing existing equity and enabling the conversion, lease-up, and long-term apartment operations.
