| Facility Type |
Senior multifamily bridge loan, typically floating-rate and interest-only, structured for acquisition, refinance, lease-up, repositioning, or bridge-to-agency execution. |
| Loan Amount |
US$5,000,000 minimum through Financely. Lender-specific minimums may be higher depending on platform, market, and asset profile. |
| Eligible Assets |
Conventional multifamily, workforce housing, garden, mid-rise, and other income-producing apartment assets. Transitional properties with a defined business plan are generally the best fit. |
| Geography |
Primarily U.S. primary and secondary markets. Tertiary markets reviewed case by case. |
| Term |
Usually 12 to 36 months, with extension options subject to lender approval, performance, and fee payment. |
| Amortization |
Interest-only during the initial term in most bridge executions. |
| Pricing |
Floating 30-day SOFR plus quoted spread. Stronger bridge-to-agency files may price from the high-300s basis points upward, while heavier business plans, weaker cash flow, or thinner markets price wider. |
| Leverage |
Commonly sized off the lesser of as-is value, cost basis, and refinanceability at exit. Many bridge executions land around the mid-60s LTV range, while stronger files may stretch higher on a case-by-case basis. |
| Exit Underwriting |
Loan sizing must support a believable permanent takeout. Debt yield, DSCR, projected stabilization, market rents, capex completion, and market depth all matter. |
| Rate Protection |
Interest-rate cap may be required for floating-rate executions, especially where reserves and exit sensitivity are tighter. |
| Recourse |
Often non-recourse, subject to standard bad-boy carve-outs. Completion support, environmental indemnity, or partial recourse may apply depending on structure. |
| Reserves And Escrows |
Taxes, insurance, replacement reserves, repair escrows, capex holdbacks, and interest or operating reserves may be required depending on in-place coverage and business plan risk. |
| Upfront Due Diligence Fees |
Application, underwriting, and diligence deposits commonly start around US$30,000 and may move higher depending on complexity, portfolio size, third-party reports, and counsel scope. These amounts are separate from lender compensation and borrower third-party costs. |
| Closing Fees |
Lender origination or commitment fees commonly start around 1.00% of loan amount. Some executions also include exit fees, extension fees, or yield maintenance mechanics depending on lender and takeout strategy. |
| Third-Party Costs |
Borrower pays appraisal, Phase I environmental, property condition, engineering, survey, zoning, flood, legal, organizational, UCC, and other out-of-pocket third-party costs as required. |
| Extension Fees |
Commonly charged per extension period and tied to performance, updated underwriting, and reserve sufficiency. |
| Sponsor Requirements |
Institutional-quality file, acceptable credit, sufficient liquidity, net worth support, and prior ownership or repositioning experience. SPE borrowing entity is usually required. |
| Indicative Intake Package |
Rent roll, trailing-12 and current operating statement, purchase contract or debt summary, sources and uses, capex budget, borrower track record, organizational chart, and exit plan. |
| Closing Timeline |
Execution speed depends on borrower responsiveness, property reports, legal work, and underwriting depth. Well-prepared files move faster. Weak documentation slows the process immediately. |
