Bridge Loans for Multifamily Real Estate Closings
Multifamily acquisitions often move faster than agency or CMBS lenders can underwrite. Sellers expect cash certainty, but permanent debt takes months to document. Financely arranges bridge loans
that carry sponsors from acquisition close to long-term takeout. Facilities are short-term, sized to equity contributions, and refinanced into agency or securitized debt once stabilized.
