Freddie Mac’s Small Balance Loans to Grow Workforce Housing Market


Freddie Mac launched its new Small Balance Loan (SBL) program in an effort to facilitate access to affordable capital for owners of small apartment buildings with five or more units.  The SBL features a streamlined process and less paperwork than Freddie Mac’s traditional, higher balance programs.

The SBL program offers six different non-recourse financing solutions across multiple fixed-rate and hybrid (fixed to float) products with 30-year amortization and up to 80% loan to value in certain markets.

We have seen a definite surge in popularity with the SBL program,” says Matthew Brown, principal at Brown Multifamily Advisors.  “Buyers of workforce housing properties are utilizing this financing tool to successfully acquire and implement improvement plans that reposition and sustain assets for long-term holds or short-term dispositions.

Multifamily Lending Outlook Remains Positive

According to Jay Shaw, owner of the Columbus, Ohio mortgage banking firm Inland Financial, such smaller lenders fill a very important niche in multifamily lending.  “There are many sponsors who seek flexible, fixed-rate loans in the Columbus market”, says Shaw.   “Most often, this is for acquisition and rehabilitation or new construction deals, where the sponsor seeks higher leverage, a period of interest-only payments during the build-out phase and flexible prepayment terms upon sale.   In the current low interest rate environment, we are seeing considerable demand for such loans.   And in situations where the sponsor intends to sell the asset upon stabilization, regional and community bank lenders offer product types that are a perfect fit.”  Contact Brown Multifamily Advisors to learn more about financing multifamily real estate through some of our trusted partners.
