Multifamily Bridge Loans for Apartment Investors
Multifamily bridge loans provide short-term capital for apartment acquisitions, value-add renovations, lease-up stabilization, and portfolio repositioning. These 12 to 36-month facilities close in 2 to 4 weeks and offer leverage up to 80% of cost, bridging the gap between acquisition or renovation and permanent agency, CMBS, or bank financing. Minimum loan size is $2 million, targeting 20-unit-and-up assets where institutional capital is active.

Short-Term Bridge Financing for Apartment and Multifamily Assets
Multifamily remains the most liquid and lender-competitive asset class in commercial real estate, which means multifamily bridge lenders are abundant and terms are competitive. Debt funds, bridge lending platforms, and select commercial banks all compete for well-structured multifamily bridge transactions. The typical use case is an investor acquiring a 30 to 200-unit apartment complex with below-market rents, financing the acquisition and renovation through a bridge loan, stabilizing occupancy, and then refinancing into agency debt (Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac) or a bank term loan at a lower permanent rate. Strong sponsors with proven value-add track records can access the most competitive pricing in this space.
