We understand that financing an apartment complex is a critical component of your investment strategy. Therefore, we encourage clients to send us details about the property before finalizing the purchase and sale contract. This allows us to provide upfront loan options, helping you make an informed decision.
Fixed Rate Loan Terms for Multifamily Properties
Loan terms are available from 3 years up to 35 years (40 years for new construction on loans over $7 million). Eligible apartment buildings include Garden Style, High Rise, Age-Restricted, Student Housing, Section 8 Tenants, and subsidized properties. The property must have at least five units. If you have several buildings with five or more apartment units that you wish to place under one loan, that’s not a problem. Ideally, the buildings should be within 3 to 5 miles of each other to secure the best loan terms.
How Long Will It Take to Close the Loan?
The closing process typically takes between 45 and 55 days for a multifamily loan in Jacksonville. Closing costs vary depending on the loan product. Before you proceed, we will provide a detailed estimate of the anticipated closing costs, along with the loan product, terms, and conditions. This ensures you can make an informed decision before moving forward.
Market Outlook for Jacksonville Metro
The multifamily market in Jacksonville remains strong, driven by population growth, economic expansion, and relatively affordable rental rates compared to other major Florida cities. Jacksonville’s occupancy rates have stayed high, and rental demand continues to grow due to the area's diverse economy and increasing appeal as a destination for businesses and residents alike. Investors are drawn to the region due to its stability, favorable market conditions, and attractive yields.
Jacksonville Multifamily Market Growth
Multifamily development in Jacksonville is accelerating, with several key projects under construction in both the urban core and suburban areas. The apartment inventory continues to grow as new units are added to the market to meet the rising demand. The development pipeline remains robust, particularly in areas such as downtown Jacksonville, Riverside, and along the coast.
Housing Outlook in Jacksonville
Jacksonville's growth as a logistics and transportation hub is fueling demand for workforce apartment products throughout Duval and neighboring counties, including Baker, Clay, and St. Johns. The rise of new industrial developments and distribution centers has created a need for more housing, further driving multifamily demand. Suburban areas and mixed-use developments continue to experience substantial growth, though rising material costs have caused delays in some projects. Nevertheless, the long-term outlook for Jacksonville remains positive for multifamily investors.
