Finance income-producing real estate across the USA and Canada—structured for acquisitions, refinances, cash-out strategies, and portfolio growth.
Investment and multifamily commercial loans provide financing for income-producing properties where repayment primarily comes from property cash flow. Unlike owner-occupied loans, underwriting focuses on:
Net Operating Income (NOI): Income after operating expenses, before debt service
Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR): Measures whether NOI can cover loan payments
Occupancy & Tenant Stability: Quality of rent roll and lease structures
Property Condition & Market Support: Appraisal value and local demand fundamentals
These loans are typically used by investors aiming to build long-term rental income, reposition assets, or optimize portfolio leverage.
Financing for apartment buildings, from small complexes to large multifamily properties.
Loans available for properties combining commercial and residential spaces, program-dependent.
Financing for income-producing commercial spaces with stable tenants and long-term leases.
Single loan covering multiple properties, simplifying management and leveraging combined income streams.
