Multifamily Loans (5+ Units)

Commercial multifamily loans for 5+ unit apartment buildings held in an LLC — sized off net operating income, market cap rate, and debt service coverage, with 5/7/10-year fixed and 30-year amortization options.
Updated
Quick answer

What is a multifamily 5+ loan and who qualifies?

Commercial multifamily financing underwritten to NOI and cap rate — not your tax returns. Once a building crosses five units it stops being residential and becomes commercial real estate. Our Multifamily Loans finance 5–8 unit apartment buildings vested in an LLC or LP (larger deals quoted case-by-case): we underwrite the rent roll, T-12 operating statement, and market cap rate to a net operating income figure, then size the loan to a minimum 1.00x debt service coverage ratio, with 1.20x+ earning the best pricing. No personal tax returns, no DTI, business-purpose only.

Multifamily loan calculator: NOI, cap rate, and DSCR sizing

Commercial multifamily loans are sized off net operating income and a market cap rate, then capped by whichever binds first — LTV or DSCR. Enter your rent roll assumptions to see the loan a 5+ unit building actually supports.

Income

Section 8 rent check — HUD Fair Market Rent

Pull the current HUD FMR by ZIP or county and compare it to your market rent.

Open-market rent check — Census ACS median rent

Pull the published median market rent for a state or investor city and compare it to the HUD Section 8 payment standard.

Expenses

Valuation & loan terms

Lenders underwrite a management fee and replacement reserves whether or not you pay them, so self-managing does not increase your loan amount.

Why 5+ units is a different loan

Fannie/Freddie residential guidelines and standard DSCR loans stop at four units. At five units and above the asset is commercial residential real estate, and lenders switch from a residential appraisal-and-rent-schedule model to an income-capitalization model. Instead of asking "does the rent cover PITIA?", a multifamily lender asks "what is the building's net operating income, what cap rate does this submarket trade at, and what loan does that value and cash flow support?"

How NOI and cap rate size your loan

Underwriting starts with the T-12 (trailing twelve months of operating statements) and the current rent roll:

  • Gross potential rent less vacancy and credit loss = effective gross income.
  • Less operating expenses — taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, turnover, payroll, an underwritten management fee (typically 4–5%) and a replacement reserve (typically $250–$300 per unit per year) — equals NOI.
  • Value = NOI ÷ market cap rate. A building with $120,000 NOI in a 6.5% cap submarket underwrites near $1,846,000.
  • Loan is the lesser of the LTV cap (up to 75% of that value) and the amount that keeps DSCR at or above 1.20x (1.25x on cash-out).

The practical consequence: raising rents or trimming controllable expenses increases value on a multiple. A $10,000 annual NOI improvement at a 6.5% cap adds roughly $154,000 of value — the entire logic of a value-add multifamily play.

Property and sponsor requirements

  • Units: 5–8 residential doors, one asset or a contiguous campus. 9+ doors quoted case-by-case.
  • Occupancy: 85%+ physical and economic occupancy for permanent debt. Lower occupancy routes to a bridge loan first, then permanent takeout.
  • Sponsor: 700+ FICO on 5–8 unit residential programs, prior landlord experience (multifamily experience preferred above 20 units), net worth roughly equal to the loan amount and 9–12 months of liquidity.
  • Vesting: LLC, LP, or corporation. Single-purpose entity generally required above $2M. Recourse standard; partial-recourse considered on lower leverage.
  • Mixed-use: allowed where commercial square footage and commercial income are each under 25–30% of the total.

Rates, structure, and prepay

Small-balance multifamily typically prices in the 6.75%–8.50% range depending on leverage, DSCR, market, and fixed period, on a 30-year amortization with a 5, 7, or 10-year fixed term. Interest-only periods of 12–24 months are available at lower leverage. Prepayment is usually a step-down (5-4-3-2-1) or yield maintenance; step-down is the default on our small-balance programs.

Illustrative only. Not a quote or commitment to lend. Actual terms depend on the asset, market, sponsor, and third-party reports.

Where multifamily fits against our other products

  • Under 5 units? Use a DSCR loan — cheaper, faster, no commercial third-party reports.
  • 5+ scattered single-family doors? A portfolio blanket loan is usually the better structure than commercial multifamily.
  • Under 85% occupied or mid-renovation? Start with a bridge loan or private money, stabilize, then refinance into permanent multifamily debt.

Pros & cons

Benefits and trade-offs of a Multifamily 5+ loan

Pros
  • No personal income documents — the building's NOI qualifies the loan.
  • 30-year amortization protects monthly cash flow.
  • Value grows on a multiple: NOI improvements are capitalized.
  • One loan covers many doors — far less paperwork than 8 separate DSCR loans.
  • Entity vesting is standard, with liability and estate-planning benefits.
  • Interest-only options available at lower leverage.
Trade-offs
  • Slower and costlier to close: commercial appraisal, PCR, and often Phase I environmental.
  • Lower leverage than 1–4 unit DSCR (75% vs. 80%).
  • Balloon risk — the loan matures at the end of the 5/7/10-year fixed period.
  • Prepayment penalties are standard.
  • Stabilized occupancy required; lease-up deals need a bridge first.
  • Sponsor net worth and liquidity tests apply.

FAQ

Multifamily 5+ loan questions, answered

The questions investors ask us most — plus the exact answers we give on the phone.

Why can't I use a DSCR loan on a 6-unit building?

Residential DSCR programs are capped at 1–4 units because that is where residential appraisal and secondary-market guidelines end. At five units and above the asset is commercial and must be underwritten to NOI, a market cap rate, and a commercial appraisal.

How is my loan amount actually calculated?

We take effective gross income from the rent roll, subtract underwritten operating expenses including management and replacement reserves to get NOI, divide NOI by the market cap rate to derive value, then take the lesser of 75% of that value and the loan that holds DSCR at 1.20x or better.

What DSCR do you require on multifamily?

1.20x minimum on purchase and rate-and-term, 1.25x on cash-out. Stronger DSCR improves both pricing and proceeds.

Do you require personal tax returns?

No. These are business-purpose commercial loans underwritten to the property. We do request a personal financial statement to verify net worth and liquidity.

Can I close in an LLC?

Yes — entity vesting is required, not optional. Above roughly $2M we typically require a single-purpose entity that owns only the subject property.

What if the building is only 60% occupied?

Permanent multifamily debt requires roughly 85% occupancy. Below that we would place a bridge or private-money loan for the lease-up period and refinance into permanent debt once the building stabilizes.

How long does a multifamily loan take to close?

Plan on 45–60 days. The commercial appraisal and property condition report alone typically take three to four weeks.

Is there a prepayment penalty?

Usually yes — a 5-4-3-2-1 step-down is standard on our small-balance programs, and some fixed terms use yield maintenance instead. We will show you the prepay structure on the term sheet.

Do you finance mixed-use buildings?

Yes, where the commercial component is under roughly 25–30% of both square footage and income. Heavier commercial mixes are reviewed case-by-case.

What are typical multifamily rates?

Small-balance multifamily generally prices between 6.75% and 8.50% depending on leverage, DSCR, market, and the length of the fixed period. Pricing is illustrative and not a quote.

Are these loans recourse?

Standard programs are full recourse with a personal guaranty from the sponsors. Partial-recourse and non-recourse-with-carveouts structures are available on lower-leverage, strongly covered deals.

Do you lend on multifamily in every state you serve?

Yes — entity-vested, business-purpose multifamily is available across our 37-state and DC service area, with Florida and Colorado also licensed for consumer-purpose lending.

What is the smallest multifamily loan you will do?

$250,000. Below that a portfolio or single-asset DSCR structure is usually more economical because commercial third-party report costs do not scale down.

Can I buy a building and renovate it with this loan?

Permanent multifamily debt funds a stabilized asset. For a heavy renovation, use a bridge or private-money loan for acquisition plus renovation, then refinance into permanent multifamily financing at stabilization.

Which calculators should I run before financing a rental?

Start with the DSCR calculator to test rent against the payment, then the cap rate calculator for the unlevered yield, the cash-on-cash return calculator for the levered year-one return, and the ARV calculator when the plan involves a rehab. All outputs are illustrative estimates, not an approval, an offer of credit, or a commitment to lend.

Do the calculators work for every state?

No. Results are shown only for the states where we arrange financing, where Simply Approved Mortgages LLC arranges business-purpose investment property financing. Selecting any other state withholds results — the check runs on our servers and fails closed.

Can I share or save my calculator results?

Yes. Every calculator produces a share link that encodes the scenario inputs only — names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses are never included — plus a copy-to-clipboard summary of the key numbers you can paste into an email or a deal memo.

What is Simply AI and can it approve my loan?

Simply AI explains the figures already shown on the page in plain English. It provides educational explanations only, does not quote rates, does not confirm eligibility, and cannot approve financing. Rates, eligibility, fees, and terms are subject to verification and change — speak with a licensed loan originator before making a financing decision.

This is a pre-qualification request — not a loan application under TILA/RESPA and not a loan approval, rate lock, offer, or commitment to lend. It does not trigger a Loan Estimate. If your loan requires one, the Loan Estimate is issued inside our loan origination system after you submit a complete application and your loan officer has reviewed your scenario.

Encrypted and never sold. Takes about 60 seconds.

Credit & pre-approval

Why we pull credit for your investor loan pre-approval

Every DSCR / business-purpose loan file needs a tri-merge credit report so we can verify identity, price your rate tier accurately, and confirm reserves and payment history for the underwriter. Cleaner credit typically unlocks a better rate and higher leverage.

Pay for your credit report — SmartPay

Simply Approved Mortgages uses MeridianLink SmartPay to securely collect the credit report fee for your investor pre-approval. Payment goes directly to the credit vendor — not to us — and unlocks your tri-merge report (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) so your loan officer can price your file.

  • Secure, PCI-compliant checkout hosted by MeridianLink
  • Required for a formal investor pre-approval decision
  • Soft-touch process — your loan officer will guide you through it
