Freddie Mac Loans

MultiFamilyLoan.org offers both Freddie Mac Multifamily financing and Freddie Mac SBL Loans (Freddie Mac Small Balance Apartment loans). Freddie delivers a diversified selection of multifamily loan products with respect to both the acquisitions and recapitalizations of apartment communities.

Historically, Freddie Mac was the federal government sponsored agency of choice with regard to higher balance multifamily financing (such as mobile home parks, health properties, affordable housing, student housing, etc.). Nevertheless, in an attempt to become more aggressive in the financial industry caused by heightened competition, early this year Freddie Mac launched a small balance program in order to compete with Fannie Mae – pricing its loans better than Fannie (the customarily more preferred program). Comparable to Fannie Mae, it features stringent underwriting requirements for properties and principals, but once accepted, there are a very limited number of multifamily lenders, exclusive of life companies concerning more substantial balances offers, which can compete.
