Getting a Longer Fixed-Rate Period

Published January 5, 2013 

Call 866-811-9515 today to see if you pre-qualify for commercial loans – especially an apartment loan.

After the recession, the borrower became the most important of the three major qualifications. Today this is still the case. This is because so many apartment owners became financially insolvent as a result of the recession. Many had a business that was running at a... Read More

Lowest Apartment Loan Rates

Published December 17, 2012 

The lowest apartment loan rates (commercial apartment complexes of five units or more) are without doubt HUD/FHA loan programs for refinancing and purchasing apartment buildings. This program is known as the HUD 223f. The rate as of the date of this blog article is 2.75% for a 30–35 year fixed with a 30–35 year amortization. HUD will also mandate a monthly mortgage insurance premium, so that will add .60% on to the rate. Therefore the all-in rate today is 3.35%.

Now when you consider that bank rates are averaging today between 3.75% and 4.75% on a... Read More
