Next, we’ll need to understand your investment objectives. How much do you wish to borrow on the apartment complex? Is this a long-term or short-term investment? Outline your apartment loan request for Sarasota, FL, and we’ll tailor our recommendations accordingly.

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 Sarasota. 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.
